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

Arcade Fire  Pink Elephant

It reprises their indie-modified take on panoramic, heartland rock and synth-pop, though with little emotional impact and no clear intent. Print edition only Uncut

Arcade Fire  Pink Elephant

It's largely stripped of their loftier excesses. Instead, the tone - meditative, inward-looking - coalesces around Circle Of Trust's tender electro, Ride Or Die's minimal escapist lullaby or the tech-U2 of She Cries Diamond Rain. Print edition only Mojo

Arcade Fire  Pink Elephant

Embattled rockers recenter their musical vision and emotional world on Pink Elephant Rolling Stone

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

It's a tentative 4/4 plod that fluffs sweetly by The Arts Desk

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

20-minute mixtape Fancy That highlights the rising U.K. pop star's fondness for collaborations and early-2000s bangers Rolling Stone

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

The mixtape marks a decided shift from the primarily U.K. garage of the singer’s debut album Slant Magazine

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

Denigrated by some as the epitome of attention-deficit youth, the English pop musician became huge nonetheless – and her latest has an inspiringly free-associative feel The Guardian

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

No features, no distractions. Just her, telling stories and building a new soundscape out of the one that raised her Clash

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

Fancy That is some of Pink's most carefree work, but it's still highly emotional, and its songs are as well-crafted, catchy, and creative as anything else she's done All Music

PinkPantheress  Fancy That

The once-elusive bedroom producer returns with hyperactive beats, messy romance and zero fear NME

Sleep Token  Even In Arcadia

Marginalising many of the heavier elements of their sound, the masked sensations take their deepest dive into R&B and electro to date Rolling Stone UK

Sleep Token  Even In Arcadia

It’s a unique commercial and artistic asset, which cannot be taught. If anything, they take the precise quality to the next level on this project, with a refinement that’s there for everyone to witness Clash

Sleep Token  Even In Arcadia

Arcadia’s minor quibbles are easily dwarfed by the height of its peaks. It isn’t quite an album of all-timers, but it’s more than enough to bring in wave after wave of gleaming gold spoils all over again Kerrang!

Sleep Token  Even In Arcadia

Spearheaded by the piano and some of Vessel’s most human lyrics to date, the metallers’ fourth album seals their status as the overlords of their scene and generation NME

Sleep Token  Even In Arcadia

Sleep Token have conclusively proven themselves to be wholly incompetent songwriters and everything here is almost offensively boring. Goodbye Sputnik Music (staff)
