Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Foo Fighters  Your Favorite Toy

Twelve albums in, it’s natural for a band like the Foos to go wherever their instincts take them. But while they try subtle new tricks, like compressing Grohl’s vocals to almost-grating levels amid muddy sound mixing, their attempts at sounding edgy usually land in a pleasant middle ground No Ripcord

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

Steel yourself for an album about tree lines, county lines and the invisible lines betweeen you and the people you grew up with The Irish Times

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

For better or worse, Noah Kahan’s much-anticipated Stick Season follow-up delivers more songs about dead bugs, driving, copper mines, demarcated lines, driving, substance abuse, and cold weather Paste Magazine

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

All but repeating the formula of his breakout album, Kahan seems torn between whether success is sustainable or even repeatable on songs defiantly rooted in small-town life The Guardian

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

The singer goes to great lengths to make the bleeding-heart bearded-guy shtick work Slant Magazine

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

Not lost in the universe of fame but rather the strength of music, Noah Kahan is exactly the right artist to make it this far Clash

Noah Kahan  The Great Divide

The singer-songwriter’s impressive new album is about connections we lose and the fight to keep fraying friendships together Rolling Stone

Ringo Starr  Long Long Road

Embracing simple yet infectious lyricism, impressive guitars and folksy harmonies, Starkey has created another unadulterated Americana album in ‘Long Long Road’, carving his name deeper into the hall of fame Clash

Foo Fighters  Your Favorite Toy

A band with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to use the pain of the last few years as an inspiration musicOMH

Friko  Something Worth Waiting For

Something Worth Waiting For is an album of good songs with some sequencing and balance issues. Its problems have nothing to do with quality in the traditional sense, but Friko will need to temper some of their maximalist tendencies if they want to seize the indie rock throne No Ripcord

Friko  Something Worth Waiting For

Chicago’s Friko has traded much of the symphonics of their incendiary debut for insistently straining, freewheeling indie rock riffs The Line Of Best Fit

Foo Fighters  Your Favorite Toy

Enjoyable and familiar, but Grohl's emotional crisis sets it apart Consequence Of Sound

Friko  Something Worth Waiting For

It’s hard to replicate the joy of discovery that was had with Friko’s debut, but rounding out the band and taking things up a notch make perfect sense. Not leaving their heart behind in the process, makes Something Worth Waiting For exactly that Under The Radar

Friko  Something Worth Waiting For

A euphoric, breakneck adventure towards a promised land The Skinny

Ringo Starr  Long Long Road

You'd have to go back to the 1970s to find a Ringo Starr solo album that was as well-crafted with his particular skills in mind as Look Up, and Long Long Road shows Burnett and Starr continue to work together beautifully All Music
