The former American Music Club's 10th offering is one of his most musically robust, where he expands on his quieter nature with sweeping widescreen ballads.

Loyle Carner Yesterday's Gone
A world away from the aggressive swagger of showbiz rap and the gimmicky stereotypes too often found within it, Loyle Carner cuts a quirkily peculiar figure in today’s rap paradigm. It's hugely refreshing.

Julie Byrne Not Even Happiness
The singer-songwriter's latest, the decidedly naturalistic Not Even Happiness, centers on the intimate, everyday thoughts that emerge from being on the road.

The xx I See You
I See You is a sprawling album. The English band has embraced the spectacle, yet it is not the antithesis of their previous minimalist work.

Metallica Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
Hardwired...to Self-Destruct is an exercise in excess. It's Metallica throwing everything from their career into a blender and seeing what comes out. More often not, this leads to pummeling shredfests. If you can get through the misfires, you'll find a bunch of songs that will get you headbanging in no time.

Martha Wainwright Goodnight City
After some electropop misfires on 2013’s Come Home to Mama, Goodnight City is less a clean slate and more an affirmation and culmination of Wainwright’s talent over the decade.

Lambchop FLOTUS
Now closing in on 25 years, the Nashville band's twelfth album isn’t a reinvention as much as it is a calculated attempt to impose a new narrative stance on their longstanding career.
