EminemThe Marshall Mathers LP 2“Eminem’s shock value has softened by dint of familiarity, but The Marshall Mathers LP 2 still features tantalizing moments of vintage performance.”Slant60 3/5772013
Mark KnopflerPrivateering“The album pits Knopfler’s guitar against a seafaring rabble of strings, flutes, and the occasional pennywhistle, and the result is far more fun than this arrangement might suggest.”Slant80 4/5752013
Hugh LaurieDidn’t It Rain“Didn’t It Rain is filled with straight-faced American blues with a tilt toward the Crescent City.”Slant60 3/5612013
Skylar GreyDon’t Look Down“Don’t Look Down is a vaguely hip-hop-inflected homage to ’90s pop, not so much uninteresting as underwhelming.”Slant via Wikipedia60 3/5532013
Kanye WestYeezus“Behind the curtain, a very rich and talented man is grasping hard for something new to say.”Slant60 3/5872013
J. ColeBorn Sinner“Cole’s palpable sense of responsibility is matched by his slick but convincing critiques of hip-hop’s culture of conspicuous consumption.”Slant80 4/5682013
Wiz KhalifaO.N.I.F.C.“The album’s flaws have less to do with Khalifa’s ego and more with the dumb, reflexive materialism of the lyrics.”Slant40 2/5572012
AerosmithAerosmith“Music from Another Dimension pays for each of its gems with a nugget of fool’s gold.”Slant60 3/5622012
Neil Young and Crazy HorsePsychedelic Pill“Psychedelic Pill, the first album of original material from Neil Young and Crazy Horse in nearly a decade, comes on like a flashback.”Slant80 4/5762012
