album reviews

For our writer, Minogue’s new Christmas album evokes the ghosts of Kylie Past, Present and Future.

Christmas in Tahoe is a new classic album. December it today!

Danzig’s new album is totally great to listen to while porking, partying, sharpening your knife collection, or doing anything, really.

Leftöver Crack’s long-awaited new record is protest music in its most extreme incarnation.

Chris Isaak’s lyrics escorted themselves into our writer’s dead-bolted heart and transported her back to an old love affair.

The Pope's album has a bizarre sonic and rhythmic frame, yet it manages to impart its intended meaning to our virtually monolingual Millennial writer.

Deerhoof's brilliant live album turned our writer into a shit-grinning, foul-mouthed hard-rock fan before the first chorus of the record even started.

The drug kingpin trope is as embedded in the rap canon as cocaine residue in the ridges of an addict’s key, but Gibbs delivers a nuanced perspective.

Our writer felt like an outsider while listening to this record, but she’d love to do a remix.

Justin Bieber's new album is, above all, a detailed analysis of the value of his voice — to the listener and to himself.

Life is short — too short not to let significant joy creep in. And ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne has always known how to make joy significant.

With her new album, Grimes creates a giant, esoteric world teeming with all sorts of poisonous Jurassic life.
