Every review

Album	Outlet	Their score	Breakdown	Published
Fontaines D.C.Dopamine Chamber“This is a beguiling, endlessly inventive and frequently astonishing fifth LP from a group at increasing ease with being the best band of their generation”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	100 5/5	82	Oct 12, 2026
Gracie AbramsDaughter from Hell	The Guardian via Wikipedia	40 2/5	66	Jul 13, 2026
Kacey MusgravesMiddle of Nowhere“After two underwhelming pop-leaning records, the country star gets back to basics on this sparsely produced gem filled with wit and hard-won lessons”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	80	May 1, 2026
Charli XCXBrat	The Guardian via Wikipedia	100 5/5	86	2024
Kacey MusgravesStar-Crossed“The bliss of Musgraves’ Grammy-winning Golden Hour sours on this follow-up, with a breakup narrative that is a little too tidy”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	60 3/5	72	2021
Little MixConfetti“The former X Factor winners break pop’s rules in some style”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	73	2020
Taylor SwiftFolklore“Released with little fanfare this move to more muted songwriting is proof Swift’s music can thrive without the celebrity drama”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	100 5/5	88	2020
Dua LipaFuture Nostalgia“Britain’s biggest female star tightens her grip on the crown with a viscerally brilliant second album”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	86	2020
Harry StylesFine Line“Styles is taking his time to come into focus as a songwriter, and the results range from brisk and sunny to barbed and sly”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	76	2019
Tove LoSunshine Kitty	The Guardian via Wikipedia	60 3/5	73	2019
Kaiser ChiefsDuck	The Guardian via Wikipedia	60 3/5	62	2019
Carly Rae JepsenDedicated	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	80	2019
Billie EilishWhen We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?“The 17-year-old my draw sneers but her broken balladry, gaspy vocals and hip-hop-pop is part of a clear vision – and makes for a unique album”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	83	2019
Kylie MinogueGolden	The Guardian via Wikipedia	60 3/5	64	2018
Ed Sheeran÷“Ed Sheeran sells trite innocence by the pound. He uses bland wisdom and unimaginative music to ponder the basic good and bad in people around him, without once looking inward.”	Pitchfork via Wikipedia	28 2.8/10	68	2017
Fleetwood MacMirage	Pitchfork via Wikipedia	85 8.5/10	76	2016
The Last Shadow PuppetsEverything You’ve Come To Expect“The long-awaited second album from the Last Shadow Puppets is a lavish California confection, with strings by Owen Pallett. Like Zayn Malik's Mind of Mine, it makes very clear that…”	Pitchfork via Wikipedia	56 5.6/10	71	2016
The 1975I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it“The 1975’s second album has a much more distinct and iconoclastic character than their slick debut, drawing from the effervescent polish of early ’80s Hot 100 pop.”	Pitchfork via Wikipedia	65 6.5/10	75	2016
Charli XCXSucker“This year’s first great pop record bowls in with a rapturous celebration of the genre’s rebellious, trashy potential (and a bottle of champagne and a pocketful of pills to boot).…”	NME via Wikipedia	80 8/10	76	2015
Sky FerreiraNight Time, My Time	NME via Wikipedia	80 8/10	79	2014
alt-JAn Awesome Wave“Alt-J's debut album went Top 20 in the UK, and they're favorites to win November's Mercury Music Prize. The Cambridge-based pop band's been described as "the new Radiohead," but that…”	Pitchfork via Wikipedia	48 4.8/10	74	2012
Lil WayneRebirth“It wasn’t just NME who proclaimed [a]Lil Wayne[/a] to be the best rapper alive in 2008. Time magazine, Rolling Stone and [a]Kanye West[/a] were all schnozzing superlatives up his backside,…”	NME via Wikipedia	40 4/10	41	2010
Beach HouseTeen Dream	NME via Wikipedia	90 9/10	81	2010
CherDancing Queen“Cher’s voice is the perfect weapon to re-wreak Abba’s emotional devastation, in spite of the cyborg Auto-Tune tendencies”	The Guardian via Wikipedia	80 4/5	78
