Stereolab

Pulse of the Early Brain: Switched On, Vol. 5

Pop/Rock

Featuring 1992's Low-Fi EP and collaborations with Nurse with Wound and Autechre, the band's fifth rarities collection is one of their most exciting.

- Heather Phares

Codeine

Dessau

Pop/Rock

Long-forgotten 1992 recordings from this archetypal slowcore band offer alternate versions of songs ultimately realized on their final album.

- Fred Thomas

Lee "Scratch" Perry

King Scratch

Reggae

Fantastic anthology of the late reggae legend, mainly focusing on Black Ark-era productions and including numerous rare and previously unissued mixes.

- Paul Simpson

Unloved

The Pink Album

Pop/Rock

The trio's ambitious, sprawling double album pairs retro-futuristic drama with cameos from Jon Spencer and Jarvis Cocker.

- Heather Phares

George FitzGerald

Stellar Drifting

Electronic

The British post-dubstep producer takes inspiration from the stars on his bold, bittersweet third album.

- Paul Simpson

Megadeth

The Sick, the Dying...and the Dead

Pop/Rock

The 16th studio album from these thrash metal deities is every bit as snarling and technically precise as any other point in their nearly 40-year history.

- Fred Thomas

The Orchids

Dreaming Kind

Pop/Rock

The third album by the legendary Scottish pop band finds them at their heartbreaking, heartwarming best, dishing out melancholy pop that's timeless and true.

- Tim Sendra

Yungblud

Pop/Rock

The spirited third set from the English upstart leans into the "pop" side of the "pop-punk revival" equation.

- Neil Z. Yeung

Dummy

Dumb E.P.s

Pop/Rock

This collection of the band's two 2020 EPs shows that their Stereolab-influenced, dreamily experimental pop sound was already established, if a little rough around the edges.

Crime

San Francisco's Doomed

1992

Proto-Punk

Crime were the first West Coast punk band to put out a record in 1976, though they preferred to be known as "San Francisco's First and Only Rock and Roll Band." Recently reissued on vinyl, this collection of two warts-and-all demo sessions, recorded in 1978 and '79, captures their weird, dirty energy, fractured blues-based song structures, and jonesed-out swagger as well as their original singles, and its edgy charisma still communicates.

The Killers

Day & Age

November 24, 2008

Alternative/Indie Rock

From Hot Fuss synths to Sam's Town seriousness, fans got whiplash when the Killers returned to the flamboyant showman sparkle on this third, synth-heavy outing. While the first two are their objective classics, this is one of those LPs that has aged quite well (especially considering the weary lows of the 2010s). Impeccable from start to finish, but check out "Losing Touch," "Joy Ride," and "The World We Live In."
