Wednesday - Rat Saw God
80

Wednesday's latest album delivers a satisfying balance of laid-back energy and deliberate tension.

Caroline Rose - The Art of Forgetting
40

A major step-down from «Superstar», Caroline Rose’s new LP is meagre, washed out and drowned in reverb.

boygenius - the record
80

Boygenius' "the record" offers a heartfelt and introspective journey, filled with melancholic yet energetic instrumentals. Some tracks do feel slightly drawn out, it ultimately doesn't detract from the overall quality of the album. It was worth the wait.

Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale
80

Last time leftovers were this good was on Kendrick's "untitled unmastered". The extra tracks expand on the initial album in a positive way, which makes you wonder what more has been left in the cutting room.

Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust
50

Fall Out Boy? More like Fell Off Boy. On a more serious note, 

Fall Out Boy’s new LP feels flat, one dimensional and brings nothing new to the table.

Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
65

Lana Del Rey's latest album starts strongly but quickly loses momentum, resulting in a lackluster finish.

Black Country, New Road - Live at Bush Hall
90

Despite their former lead singer's departure, Black Country, New Road's "Live at Bush Hall" showcases their continued artistic brilliance, resulting in one of the most exceptional original live albums in recent years.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - V

On his fifth album, Unknown Mortal Orchestra's offers a collection of relaxed sounds, yet the music often lacks depth due to monotonous instrumentals, resulting in an average but unremarkable listening experience.

Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
90

Yves Tumor's latest album is an electrifying and unrelenting rock-infused release that stands out as one of the highlights of the year so far.

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
75

10,000 gecs, showcases an energetic and unapologetically bold sound that is, at times, overwhelming in its "rough shape", yet ultimately makes for an enjoyable listen.

Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation
20

Painfully generic, washed out and uninspired, Endless Summer Vacation lacks personality and substance in all places.

Fever Ray - Radical Romantics
60

While Fever Ray's latest album boasts innovative and fresh sounds, the extended length of each song detracts from its overall impact.

Macklemore - BEN
40

Macklemore's first album in six years presents a mixed bag, with "I'm 14 and this is deep" self-reflections that occasionally hit the mark, but more often miss it, resulting in an ultimately passable effort that falls short of expectations that may have been non-existent to begin with.

Don Toliver - Love Sick
40

"Love Sick" by Don Toliver may not be terrible, but its lack of originality and focus on intimacy rather than love make for a disappointingly average listening experience.

slowthai - UGLY
70

While occasionally lacking instrumental consistency, slowthai's latest album delivers a heartfelt and relatable experience, even to those who have not faced similar personal struggles.

85

Brimming with an explosive blend of "violent funk," the distorted sound of "Dogsbody" surges with unbridled energy, seamlessly flowing from one track to the next.

Xiu Xiu - Ignore Grief
80

Xiu Xiu's newest album delves deeply into the darker aspects of humanity, utilizing a blend of experimental and industrial production with light orchestral instrumentation to craft a chilling sonic landscape. The disturbing lyrics, based on real-life events, together with the haunting sound, will undoubtedly leave a powerful impression on any listener.

Kali Uchis - Red Moon In Venus
75

Kali Uchis' new album is full of captivating energy, heartwarming love and an irresistible vibe, all set under the enchanting glow of a blood moon.

U.S. Girls - Bless This Mess
80

U.S. Girls consistent delivery of fun and funky music, accompanied by cutting-edge commentary, transforms even the most bizarre themes into intriguing and relatable experiences.

Gorillaz - Cracker Island

Gorillaz's new LP is just fine and maybe that's it's biggest problem.
