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

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

While Gaga has spent the last few cycles and projects winning awards as proof of her legendary talent to everyone, it finally sounds like she has won over the most important person of all: herself Sputnik Music (staff)

Jason Isbell  Foxes in the Snow

It’s as simple as it is beautiful, and serves as a perfect reminder that while I hope Isbell goes back to a more collaborative approach in future endeavors, even on his own the end results can be truly stunning Sputnik Music (staff)

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

She lifts ideas willy-nilly, from Yazoo, from Daft Punk, from Pat Benatar, from Michael Jackson, from Gwen Stefani and, hilariously, from herself The Arts Desk

Architects  The Sky, The Earth And All Between

While the highs here are bigger than on the previous two, it’s a much more inconsistent album that has a lot more lows Sputnik Music (staff)

Architects  The Sky, The Earth And All Between

If this is only the beginning of the next chapter of Architects and their sound, it will be one that’s hard to put down The Arts Desk

Architects  The Sky, The Earth And All Between

It’s among the veteran band’s most sharply-realised efforts for the simple fact that it (mostly) prioritises what they do best: making whiplash-inducing modern metal Clash

Architects  The Sky, The Earth And All Between

It’s serious, fun, deep, kneejerk, angry, and beautiful. It’s like life, then, only louder Kerrang!

Architects  The Sky, The Earth And All Between

Only time will tell how this album is regarded, but for me, it certainly doesn’t reach the zenith of their previous work God Is In The TV

The Murder Capital  Blindness

Even when Blindness doesn’t fully deliver on its most striking ideas, The Murder Capital remain a band worth watching—restless, searching, and always ready to keep their “hand in the flame” Under The Radar

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

Gaga's first album in five years recalls some of her finest moments without feeling like a step backward Rolling Stone

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

Mayhem is a testament to the power of constant reinvention that isn’t pandering, proving that even after two decades at the forefront of pop culture, Lady Gaga remains an artist in constant motion Consequence Of Sound

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

Mayhem is both a satisfying return to form and also an unabashed revisiting of stylistic and thematic roots, even linguistic tropes and tics The Quietus

Lady Gaga  Mayhem

On her seventh album, Lady Gaga returns to pop with the larger-than-life sound. She delves into the inner turmoil of fame while reminding you why she’s earned it Pitchfork

SASAMI  Blood On the Silver Screen

If Blood is her pop debut, her next could be an anthem factory Northern Transmissions

SASAMI  Blood On the Silver Screen

There’s still something to love in every track; this is certainly a lyric-forward record for the musers. ‘Blood On the Silver Screen’ must be listened to as it was conceived: with deep thought, consideration, and empowerment Clash
