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

Wampire  Curiosity

It's chaotic, but it's also packed with charm. Print edition only Uncut

Thee Oh Sees  Floating Coffin

It's the quintet's talent for sneaking in moments of surprising prettiness that makes their seventh record such a charmer. Print edition only Uncut

Public Service Broadcasting  Inform - Educate - Entertain

Avalanches-style musical collages. Print edition only Uncut

Savages  Silence Yourself

A disappointing triumph of retro-goth style over substance. Print edition only Uncut

Ghostface Killah  Twelve Reasons To Die

The whole conceit more or less hangs together. Print edition only Uncut

The Fall  Re-Mit

Not wonderful, but certainly frightening. Print edition only Uncut

Daft Punk  Random Access Memories

Silly and overblown, but wittily, brilliantly so. Print edition only Uncut

Marques Toliver  Land Of CanAan

A lovely album that knows its history. Print edition only NME

Wild Nothing  Empty Estate

Packed with some of his most upbeat work. Print edition only NME

Laura Marling  Once I Was An Eagle

Sets a high bar; does anyone doubt she'll soar over it? Print edition only NME

Neon Neon  Praxis Makes Perfect

When it's good it's great, and it's never bad; Gruff Rhys' lyrics are mostly thoughtful and tastefully poetic throughout, but Feltrinelli's complex tale perhaps needed to be fleshed out further, with more twists and turns and the peaks more evenly placed The Quietus

Chance The Rapper  Acid Rap

Paints a splat of vivid colour over the city's newspaper headlines. Even if the brightness is hallucinatory, sometimes it helps to pretend everything's good The Quietus

Daft Punk  Random Access Memories

RAM can oftentimes feel scattered, too ambitious, or too similar to the era it’s working from, but, in the end, it’s an album held together by that palpable reverence Beats Per Minute

Mick Harvey  FOUR (Acts of Love)

A self-described song cycle that ponders the circular nature of romance through mostly other artists’ words Consequence Of Sound

Daft Punk  Random Access Memories

This is the hardest Daft Punk’s ever worked on an album, but their songwriting and programming skills aren’t up to the others Paste Magazine
