Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

The Horrors  V

Not everything on V works - "Weighed Down" and "Gathering" lack the focus of the album's highlights - but the songs that do are some of the Horrors' most exciting yet All Music

Alex Cameron  Forced Witness

While it's easy to admire the craft behind Forced Witness, it's a little harder to embrace the album as a whole - and not necessarily in the ways Cameron may have intended All Music

The Horrors  V

Their most cohesive album yet The Observer

The Killers  Wonderful Wonderful

Glossy and striking The Observer

Hiss Golden Messenger  Hallelujah Anyhow

A spiritual descendant of Van Morrison’s Veedon Fleece The Observer

The Horrors  V

V could very well be the album that pushes The Horrors to the next echelon, something the group has already accomplished in its native U.K. with its last two albums breaking the top 10 charts Under The Radar

Foo Fighters  Concrete and Gold

If you're looking for a reinvention of the rock and roll wheel, you're generating unrealistic expectations. Instead, if you're looking for a very listenable, hard rock fist-pumper you've come to the right place Under The Radar

The Horrors  V

It’s an album that confirms them as one of the most consistently surprising, most artistically sophisticated, simply greatest rock bands working today A.V. Club

Luna  A Sentimental Education

These are performances only Luna could deliver, especially in Wareham’s uniquely flat vocal style Paste Magazine

Luna  A Sentimental Education

Deftly straddling the line between deep reverence and inspired reclamation, a perfect balance that renders each track a new addition to the band's own storied oeuvre All Music

Luna  A Sentimental Education

It doesn’t hurt that every song given the Luna treatment—mellow, reverb-y guitars, Dean Wareham’s winning deadpan vocals—pretty much becomes a Luna song A.V. Club

Luna  A Sentimental Education

A collection that appeals to the devotee rather than the casual fan of the chosen bands and singers PopMatters

Wolves in the Throne Room  Thrice Woven

A record that might not break much new ground but is well composed and powerful, and it can act as the origin point for the band’s next fascinating chapter PopMatters

Wolves in the Throne Room  Thrice Woven

For those first 19 glorious minutes, Thrice Woven skirts the eye of the storm, flitting between untrammelled power and celestial beauty with a finesse that few can match The Quietus

Wolves in the Throne Room  Thrice Woven

Stirs in Norse and Gaelic legend into a bewitching barrage of arboreal-metal fury and black-winged flight Mojo
