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

Mastodon  Marrow Deep

A great effort that pushes the band into new pastures, but, like Hushed and Grim, misses the mark in places Sputnik Music (staff)

Mastodon  Marrow Deep

One of the many great things about Marrow Deep is that, like all great art, it doesn’t try to reduce or oversimplify its sentiments at the expense of their power Kerrang!

Mastodon  Marrow Deep

Recorded a week after the death of former bandmate Brent Hinds, the Atlanta metal crew mines their grief for one of their most emotional albums Rolling Stone

Mastodon  Marrow Deep

Mastodon have never dropped a dud yet. They haven’t started here Clash

Mastodon  Marrow Deep

The songwriting is more winding than ever, and for fans of sonic whiplash, it's here in spades. Marrow Deep is largely a triumph, a fitting tribute to their fallen founding father — and to heavy metal itself Exclaim

Mike D 5D  Thank You

‘Thank You’ is a triumphant return to music for Mike D, a fairly smooth-sailing affair, but one that has plenty going on and packs a punch Clash

Interpol  This Mirror Weighs a Ton

A fantastic return that often captures the genius of their best work Clash

Interpol  This Mirror Weighs a Ton

Paul Banks and co are the ultimate example of 'it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Yet with subtle embellishments to their sound, this feels like something of a reset musicOMH

Interpol  This Mirror Weighs a Ton

Working with producer Andrew Wyatt, the band turns in a strong and suitably dour album that nonetheless carries the frustrating tinge of more interesting possibilities Pitchfork

Mike D 5D  Thank You

The Beastie Boy strikes a reflective tone on a solo album made up of frenetic, funky glitch-rap-electro-punk beats reminiscent of his remixing work. Nothing quite sticks Pitchfork

Overmono  Pure Devotion

Overmono’s new LP feels like a step forward as they push into new directions, crafting expansive dance music that retains a deep sense of humanity PopMatters

Interpol  This Mirror Weighs a Ton

It is one of their strongest records in years, not because they have suddenly abandoned the sound they established all those years ago, but because they appear to have found new ways to work within it Under The Radar

Weezer  Weezer [Gold Album]

Gold Album’s strength is not that the Peter Pans of power-pop have revisited their mid-’90s success. This is no retro album: Cuomo may cast an eye on the past, but his feet are firmly planted in the present Under The Radar

Charli XCX  Music, Fashion, Film

At a time when popular music can feel as though everything has already been done, there is something welcoming about an artist of Charli’s scale choosing to produce something of a challenge to her fans. Let’s reclaim the listener experience with this album that could just be a part of something more God Is In The TV

Mike D 5D  Thank You

Anyone expecting Mike D’s debut album to sound like the Beastie Boys without MCA and Ad-Rock may be disappointed, but Thank You is a breath of fresh air – a positive and forward-looking statement and a fresh start to build on, rather than just nostalgia for past greatness Spectrum Culture
