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

La Roux  Trouble in Paradise

A little more pumped-up, even; it eclipses its mid-fi full-length predecessor (the eponymous La Roux from 2009) in the scale of its arrangements Under The Radar

Eugene McGuinness  Chroma

McGuinness is having a fantastic time on this album, but the try-too-hard attempts at shock value and relatively derivative riffs occasionally detract from what is an otherwise fantastic recontextualization of British alternative rock into older trends music OMH

Shabazz Palaces  Lese Majesty

Structured as seven suites, the music is entrancing: a mix of abstract beats and quaking bass The FT

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

It feels good to have the real Heartbreakers back. Print edition only Mojo

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

The band returns with their most rocking album in 25 years. Print edition only Uncut

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

The band are brilliant as ever (Mike Campbell's guitar work in particular), churning out the US rock sound they helped to define. Impossible not to like The Observer

Shabazz Palaces  Lese Majesty

Hip-hop is constantly being tweaked and nudged in new directions, but rarely is it reconfigured as radically, and thrillingly, as on this second album from Shabazz Palaces The Observer

Jenny Lewis  The Voyager

There's cheating, mushrooms and coke on Slippery Slopes, and, most honest of all, childlessness on the excellent single Just one of the Guys The Observer

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

A classy exercise in classic rock The FT

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

Hypnotic Eye lacks the killer standout tracks he turned out by the truckload in his youth, it packs enough vim and energy to suggest the fire is far from out The Guardian

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

He has only a few chords in his locker but makes them count; his voice has a limited range but he covers that ground with assurance Evening Standard

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  Hypnotic Eye

The usual solid, workman-like experience that long-time listeners have come to expect from Petty The Arts Desk

5 Seconds of Summer  5 Seconds of Summer

Delivered with such winning enthusiasm that they make an old formula seem fresh The Observer

5 Seconds of Summer  5 Seconds of Summer

Shrill exuberance and lyrical mischief all round as songs leap and sometimes creak under the weight of their double entendres The Guardian

5 Seconds of Summer  5 Seconds of Summer

An album of songs that stick in your head like neon bubblegum on a hot summer sidewalk All Music
