Big Thief

Two Hands

Pop/Rock

Following the spacey, artful U.F.O.F. by only five months, this contrasting sister album opts for a crisper, rawer, more jagged approach.

- Marcy Donelson
The Devil Wears Prada

The Act

Pop/Rock

A career-defining evolution for the Ohio metalcore crew that pushes genre boundaries and atmospheric scope.

- Neil Z. Yeung
Fantasia

Sketchbook

R&B

The newly independent singer's varied and fully formed sixth studio album, produced with Jevon Hill (Tamar Braxton, Tye Tribbett).

- Andy Kellman

Kim Gordon

No Home Record

The musician and artist's fearless solo debut reveals the most thought-provoking and bracing aspects of her work.

- Heather Phares
Steve Miller / Steve Miller Band

Welcome to the Vault

- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Comet Gain

Fireraisers Forever

- Tim Sendra

Freddie Mercury

Giants of All Sizes

Pop/Rock

Awash in the damp grays and socio-political malaise of Brexit, the veteran post-Brit-poppers navigate the brackish waters with empathy and steely acceptance.

- James Christopher Monger
Lacuna Coil

Black Anima

Pop/Rock

Emotionally dense ninth set from the Italian goth metal crew sheds theatrics for soul-baring vulnerability.

- Neil Z. Yeung

After turning some heads with his debut, Billy Squier truly arrived with 1981's Don't Say No, which kicks off in spectacular fashion with the triple opening salvo of "In the Dark," "The Stroke," and "My Kinda Lover" -- all of which become staples at rock radio.

- Greg Prato

Battles

Mirrored

March, 2007

Alternative/Indie Rock

Loud, funny, astonishingly sophisticated -- and not in the least pretentious -- Battles' debut album gave free rein to the hyperkinetic style they hinted at with their early EPs. Tribal yet slick, playful yet precise, the band's labyrinthine dances of Krautrock, math rock and prog remain utterly infectious listening.
