There are those who will celebrate the artistic ambition and wonder at the genius of such a diverse and challenging record and there are those who will simply wonder whether or not the band has completely jumped the shark.

With this sort of legacy, it's fair to hope that whatever came next would continue to push the limits, exploit modern sounds and offer up something new. But their latest is the opposite.

She doesn’t compromise, and it shows on her debut record—it would’ve been easy to make a formulaic electro-club record. But this is something that manages to feel simultaneously fresh and familiar. This is dance music not for filling club floors but for filling people with a dread they can nod along to.

There is absolutely no doubt this album will be another hit for Nickelback. They deserve it, if only because they’ve painstakingly practiced the art of the hard rock song formula and found a way to merge it successfully with the most mass-appealing bits from metal, pop, country and modern sentiment.

Doris represents one of the most innovative and important hip-hop releases of the year. Not just because of the charm and intrigue of Earl’s story but because of the immense and understated level of his talent for writing rhymes.

It’s unfortunate that any band who has been around this long has to keep hearing the critics say ‘They’ve still got it!’ In the case of Alice in Chains they’ve now released the second of two excellent albums since their reformation.
