  3. 8.3 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    Although the album, by almost all measures, is put together with unexceptional parts, the resulting product is perhaps the hip hop album to beat in this young year

  5. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    Habits & Contradictions doesn’t fully hold together as a great rap album, but it has some of the key hallmarks of one: big ideas, engrossing lyricism, and an unusual sense of exploration

Mogwai  The Bad Fire

Some of the most euphoric music they’ve made in a while DIY

Mogwai  The Bad Fire

Despite moments of overfamiliarity and some flat vocal experiments, Mogwai’s 11th studio record captures a band still reinventing their signature sound PopMatters

Mac Miller  Balloonerism

Recorded in 2014 but never released, Mac Miller’s second posthumous album is the missing link between the earnest rapper he was and the evocative songwriter he would become Pitchfork
