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

Nine Inch Nails  Bad Witch

The album is a bite-size morsel of everything NIN can do very well and leaves the listener craving more of this delectable offering Punk News

Essential listening Gig Soup

Kamasi Washington  Heaven & Earth

Regardless of the degree to which one engages with this album, there exists a palpable sense that Kamasi Washington is merely at the beginning of a career we can only hope will flourish as we heal this shared existence Gig Soup

Nine Inch Nails  Bad Witch

Still worth hearing; maybe falling just short of Add Violence but still much better than Not The Actual Events Earbuddy

Gang Gang Dance  Kazuashita

An astonishing musical mosaic. Every track links together seamlessly and every texture is vibrant The 405

Pusha T  Daytona

Daytona is the sound of Pusha-T being pushed to pursue perfection Sputnik Music (staff)

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever  Hope Downs

Keeping guitar rock on life support Sputnik Music (staff)

Gang Gang Dance  Kazuashita

Though Gang Gang Dance has always been better creators of documents than statements, Kazuashita leaves a sense of ambiguity as to what exactly the group aims to say or if it aspires to say anything at all Spectrum Culture

Christina Aguilera  Liberation

Though Liberation never reaches the heights fans likely wanted from Xtina, it serves as a pleasant refresher for a voice that has earned its place in the annals of pop history. That said, it’s a bit sad to feel like her finest moments are, at least for now, also in her past Pretty Much Amazing

Christina Aguilera  Liberation

While it isn’t without a few bumps along the way, Liberation really is a welcome return to form for one of this era’s greatest vocalists Consequence Of Sound

Gang Gang Dance  Kazuashita

Soft-edged and idyllic, yet hides a subtle political undercurrent Pitchfork

The Carters  Everything Is Love

It isn’t always the most substantial record, flexing and braggadocio abound, but it’s an enjoyable collection of tracks from the power couple music OMH

Kamaal Williams  The Return

This album signifies a moment for UK jazz but more importantly this a moment for Kamaal Williams Clash

Melody’s Echo Chamber  Bon Voyage

An album that demands repeat listens, but this is fine, as with each listen we learn a little more of its secrets, but once they have been cracked ‘Bon Voyage’ becomes something greater than its parts Clash

Sophie  Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

There are garish, hyper-kinetic tracks but there are also more reflective moments, a welcome shift in emphasis The FT
