Jamie xxIn Waves“Nearly a decade after his debut, Jamie xx returns with a long-awaited sophomore LP that stylishly swells and retreats with danceable beats and moody romanticism.”PopMatters via Wikipedia80 8/10832024
Bad BrainsI Against I“Canonical DC hardcore act Bad Brains remain as vital as ever. Almost 40 years after I Against I's initial release, it's remarkable how timeless it sounds.”PopMatters90 9/10872024
Guided by VoicesStrut of Kings“Going on 40-plus years, Guided by Voices return with a tight and upbeat album full of pomp and swagger that ranks as a late-career best.”PopMatters80 8/10702024
MitskiThe Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We“Mitski's The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We marks a shift away from her earlier work toward a more mainstream sound that might even be called Americana.”PopMatters80 8/10862023
MudhoneyPlastic Eternity“The theme of survival forms the subtext of Mudhoney's Plastic Eternity and topics of environmental crisis, overrun capitalism, and anti-democratic politics.”PopMatters via Wikipedia70 7/10802023
