  1. 9.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    A record about how hard it is to be satisfied with not knowing the ending, and just how hideously beautiful it can be to finally witness the ineludible flames

  2. 8.0 |   The Music

    This is punk rock that bleeds true emotion

  3. 8.0 |   DIY

    It is evidence of a band who know exactly what they want to do, and have little trouble in achieving it

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    It’s driving-around-with-the-windows-down music, ready for maximum blasting

  5. 6.5 |   Beardfood

    It’s bigger and safer, like an SUV with one or two gritty bumper stickers, staying in its lane

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Impressive fourth from evolving Pennsylvania punks. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    This album, for all of its sharp musicianship and the ever-brilliant play-off between vocalists Greg Barnett and Tom May, just doesn't capture the gravity of its predecessor

  8. 6.0 |   NME

    They mix straight-up Rancid-style riffing (‘The Talk’) and circle-pit friendly declarations of gentlemanliness (‘I Don’t Want To Be An Asshole Anymore’) with weightier excursions into anguish

  9. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Rented World may not be the band’s calling card, but it’s a work to be proud of nonetheless

  10. 6.0 |   FasterLouder

    An accomplished record by a band that is on an upwards career trajectory but The Menzingers are still a long way from the same heights as first wave Epitaph legends like Bad Religion and Rancid

  11. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Rented World is just so polished and clean — aesthetics that don’t suit The Menzingers’ brand of punk

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

On the uncomfortable paths of the 28-year-old’s fourth album, slam-dunk bangers are substituted with reinvention and restraint surrendered through hushed, reflective, and carnal synth-pop vestiges Paste Magazine
