  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s Own Sun will be pure Notwist to most ears, with follow-up Death Major much the same story for Themselves

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Sinuous lo-fi beats brushing against saxes, woodwinds and vintage synths. Print edition only

    A thrilling album which any alt-hop fan should feel proud to add to their collection

  6. 7.0 |   Spin

    Seems more like a high-concept mash-up than a true collaboration. Sometimes, however, it works beautifully

    A bit too rote and predictable
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Pitchfork

    A neat project with many moments of interest, but it's disappointing that the second album doesn't cohere overall any better than the first

    The Notwist adding melody to the fractured electronica of Themselves and gaining rhythmic substance in return. Print edition only

Primal Scream  Come Ahead

Bobby Gillespie is good at posturing, as rock frontmen ought to be, but emotional depth isn’t his thing The FT

The Cure  Songs Of A Lost World

As usual with Smith at his saddest, you don’t leave his orbit feeling worse about the world. You feel comforted by the fact that someone shares this universal pain so deeply A.V. Club

Tyler, The Creator  Chromakopia

After 15 years of being in the industry, Tyler, the Creator has reached the apex of his life and career. He’s ready to reap the accompanying benefits, and express himself fully, without the ever-present chip on his shoulder A.V. Club
