Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork
65

Great production, beautiful and thoughtful lyricism/poetry, however despite the vocals fitting thematically, they do leave a lot to be desired.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Changes
45

It is admirable that King Gizzard isn't afraid of doing something new, however their third and final record of October, despite being fun at times, mostly feels uninspired and doesn't offer much that is worth revisiting.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava
70

King Gizzard's first of three albums in October is a jazzy jam-session that is mostly a fun ride. Although it sometimes lacks ideas and feels a bit half-baked, it is undeniably a great listen all the way through.

Beach House - Once Twice Melody
75

Although some moments feel a little drawn out, it still is a fantastic, dreamlike, unpredictable adventure from front to back.

Alvvays - Blue Rev
80

Alvvays new album is full of energy, fun and even has some clever remarks here and there.

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
85

Kendrick Lamar once again proves that he is the greatest rapper alive with his newest album. Complex & personal, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers shows Kendrick vulnerable and him wearing his heart on his sleeve, talking about issues that most rappers would never dare to even reference. As expected the production is also fantastic. An album that really grows on you the more you listen to it.

Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
80

Although Jockstrap's debut isn't as fantastic as 2020's "Wicked City" EP, it's a strong, impressive and incredible ambitious album that seamlessly goes from one creative idea to another.

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
85

A warm, cozy collection of songs that explore different directions, most of those being fantastic. A long double album, but worth the entire runtime.

Viagra Boys - Cave World
90

A fun post-punk album that not only slaps from start to finish, but also surprisingly features deep and thoughtful social commentary that compliments their silly style of delivery.

The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention
90

Fantastic record with a strong first half and a really good second half. Great vocals and instrumentals make this a lovely Radiohead side project.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Laminated Denim
65

On their 2nd album of their October run, the Aussies deliver an enjoyable 30-min jam session. Although their second installment of their Timeland series is fun and groovy, it leaves you with nothing special or something that we haven't heard from the band before.

Arctic Monkeys - The Car
50

Great production, but unfortunately very forgettable. Feels like Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino half-baked leftovers.

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There
100

Breathtaking from start to finish on all leves. Albums like these only come once a decade. Amazing instrumentals and heartbreaking, clever lyrics. Just a masterfully crafted piece of art. Masterpiece.
