Nick Cave and the Bad SeedsWild God“Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Wild God teems with creative ambitions and sacred content. An ode to the surprise of joy, it is an audacious, reaching record.”PopMatters90 9/10892024
Tyler ChildersRustin’ in the Rain“With Rustin' in the Rain, Tyler Childers and the Food Stamps have dropped one of the year's more vital pure country albums. The rich production is impressive.”PopMatters via Wikipedia80 8/10822023
Graham NashNow“Now reminds of the treasure that Graham Nash has been and continues to be in the ongoing narrative of rock music and it's a snapshot of the creative spark.”PopMatters via Wikipedia60 6/10722023
Death Cab for CutieAsphalt MeadowsPopMatters via Wikipedia80 8/10792022
Jack WhiteEntering Heaven Alive“With Entering Heaven Alive Jack White offers the yang to the yin of Fear of the Dawn while broadening his musical palette.”PopMatters80 8/10752022
Drive-By TruckersWelcome 2 Club XIII“Drive-By Truckers' Welcome 2 Club XIII is more introspective and subdued than the previous raw, unfiltered laments and analyses of American culture.”PopMatters70 7/10722022
Fontaines D.C.Skinty Fia“With Skinty Fia Fontaines D.C. deliver a brooding post-punk sensual feast with a distinctly Irish flavor. Longing, alienation, and malice simmer under the surface.”PopMatters80 8/10862022
