Tyler, The Creator
Chromakopia
Solidifies Tyler's place in a rare echelon of artists — where every new album feels like a Big Event, complete with its own thematic concerns, production style, visual aesthetic and even fictional aliases
Exclaim
The Cure
Songs Of A Lost World
After nearly 50 years, the Cure have finally delivered an album filled with exactly what their detractors have always claimed; unremitting angst and misery. The punchline is that it’s great; indeed, “their best since Disintegration”
Spectrum Culture
The Smile
Cutouts
Cutouts is an exciting milestone for The Smile, showcasing a new ability to create a unified and emotionally rich album, while still drawing on the creative fertility and spontaneity fans have come to expect from this most productive of Yorke’s projects
Under The Radar
Mount Eerie
Night Palace
Phil Elverum's latest is a thorny, beautiful 80-plus minute journey
Rolling Stone
Primal Scream
Come Ahead
t would take a hell of a reinvention to pull back Primal Scream from this stinking brink. Come Ahead is a record that fails, fatally, to recognise that Bobby Gillespie was always Primal Scream’s least compelling element
The Quietus
Primal Scream
Come Ahead
A triumph in thematic/aural juxtaposition, Come Ahead is up there with Primal Scream’s best. Print edition only
Mojo
Primal Scream
Come Ahead
Gillespie's words can sound like platitudes when they're written down, but his sincerity and the music's sonic freshness and influence-exposing urgency elevate the material, evoking the Primal Scream of 30 years ago. Print edition only

Primal Scream
Come Ahead
As righteously indignant and vital as ever, ‘Come Ahead’ is another high in a career full of them
Clash
Mount Eerie
Night Palace
Elverum took his time with this album. Night Palace is startling, brave, and utterly brilliant

Songs Of A Lost World
There is a finality to Smith’s thematic choice of words, but it is in the delivery that the urgency and desperation can really be felt as he wrestles with regret, grief, ageing, and humanity’s futile nature
Northern Transmissions
The Cure
Songs Of A Lost World
The West Sussex legends' first album of new material since 4:13 Dream maps out the hours, minutes, seconds of our 16 years apart, playing back the sound of surviving the death of a planet, hoping that Robert Smith’s voice is there with us as the ground goes cold

Songs Of A Lost World
Who knows if it’s their last album, or whether there’s more to come? Let us be thankful that it’s here and just as wonderful as we dared to hope it might be
