Kanye West - Yeezus
"Yeezus, defined by collaboration and discovery, is majestic. Well worth your time."
Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird
"Blackbird is a defining example of rhythm-based musical cross-pollination that sounds perfectly natural in the hands of Fat Freddy's Drop."
Kirin J Callinan - Embracism
"This is an album that promised much and delivers so much more."
Falling In Reverse - Fashionably Late
"If you're a 13-year-old girl going through a bad boy phase, you might get a few listens out of this before you're embarrassed to own it. If not, save some cash and just drop $1.69 on Born To Lead."
Bliss N Eso - Circus In The Sky
"A duo who began writing good albums now have the tools they need to make very good albums. There are a few bumps here, sure, but in the main this is compelling."
Amon Amarth - Deceiver Of The Gods
"Overall Deceiver Of The Gods proves that Surtur Rising was an aberration – Amon Amarth continue to deliver the goods."
Wale - The Gifted
"By choice or by coercion Wale continues to try balancing both sides of the rap ledger and as such will find plenty of fans, though few who will enjoy The Gifted in its entirety."
Transplants - In A Warzone
Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter
"For all its rule breaking and genre stretching, In A Warzone works best when Transplants stay within their comfort zone, delivering punk rock at its most unpretentious and uncomplicated."
Smith Westerns - Soft Will
"What saves the album from becoming a forgettable one is the clever, inquisitive arrangements and confidence the band exudes when dealing with established styles and a nostalgic sonic palette."
Big Scary - Not Art
"Some of the drums recall DJ Shadow, but more often Big Scary blaze their own trail, and it works well for them."
