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

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

As dark chroniclers of their age, Fontaines D.C. are here to illuminate the gloom Mojo

Troye Sivan  She's The Best

Troye Sivan’s fourth album pushes his pop further out while staying rooted in love, memory and the women who shaped him Still Listening

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

Dopamine Chamber finds Fontaines moving even further away from the live guitar emphasis of their earlier work – embracing new styles in ways that are, by turns, liberating and devastating Hot Press

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

When a band reaches a certain size, a lot of people start claiming they were better before they got big. We defy anyone to listen to 'Dopamine Chamber' and make that claim in good faith - this is a band firing on all cylinders and staking their claim to be the best band of their generation Dork

Cameron Winter  Live at Carnegie Hall

As effective as Winter may be when it comes to playing frontman – for Geese or some other ensemble – he’s equally effective, if not more so, by himself, alone under the proverbial spotlight, his songs brimming with mystery, grief, and flashes of humor Beats Per Minute

Remi Wolf  Mud

The LA-based indie-pop singer streamlines the silly-sweet cleverness and adventurous flourishes of her previous efforts into a more melancholic and cohesive work Paste Magazine

Teenage Fanclub  Do Not Dare To Dream

Teenage Fanclub’s 13th album offers wisdom, warmth, comfort and hope, wrapped in beguilingly gentle and sensitive folk-inflected songs; it's a beautiful and perfectly realized record, if slightly lacking the fire of the band’s earlier work Spectrum Culture

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

On Dopamine Chamber, the Irish band reaches further into electronic moodiness while delivering hard-hitting reflections on how to stay sane — and maybe even hopeful — these days Rolling Stone

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

The album’s best songs lean into sinister undertones with relish Slant Magazine

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

While Romance wasn’t the most cohesive LP, the majority of its tracks included beguiling hooks and textbook popcraft. Dopamine, too, is more a grab bag of songs than a precisely outlined set. Unfortunately, in Dopamine’s case, the pop savvy appears less consistently, leaving various tunes groping for identity The Line Of Best Fit

Bloc Party  Anatomy Of A Brief Romance

Bloc Party’s new album is catchy in the worst possible way: strange, irritating and hard to shake for all the wrong reasons Still Listening

Teenage Fanclub  Do Not Dare To Dream

The key term here is immediate, as Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley who keep holding the Teenage Fanclub ship have gone for a more layered concept here, instinctively or intentionally, as the listeners have to keep peeling the layers to get to the essence here, and that peeling is quite worth every listener’s time Spill Magazine

Cameron Winter  Live at Carnegie Hall

Live at Carnegie Hall inevitably calls back to the great artists who have graced that stage before him, though the pensiveness of the recording is equally impactful, capturing Cameron Winter staying true to his nature Northern Transmissions

Troye Sivan  She's The Best

The Australian singer broadens the sexy, sultry queer pop formula he cultivated on his last record, but loses some of its novelty and edge as he strains to go bigger and outdo himself Paste Magazine

Fontaines D.C.  Dopamine Chamber

As Dublin’s finest reach stadium level, album five dives deeper into the extremes of ‘Romance’ for a dark but exhilarating reflection of end times NME
