Album Reviews

Weezer’s 10th EP, SZNZ: Winter, takes listeners on a seven-song journey of despair, sadness and longing.

SZA’s interior battle feels decidedly of the moment, inflected by the murkiness of casual sex, the imperative for baseline levels of connection in a world where there seems to be a drought.

While the Nov. 18 release attempts to fuse genres into a succinct image of melancholic dissonance, it instead displays only disjointed mediocrity.

The title Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This? accurately encapsulates the storm of self-doubt that recurs throughout The Wombats’ newest work.

Within the mixtape’s three songs, O’Brien tackles her situationships, toxic perceptions of love and desperate desires to disappear.

Jordana’s latest EP I’m Doing Well, Thanks For Asking illustrates immersive self-growth, one the 22-year-old singer-songwriter is continuously building upon.

Brockhampton’s penultimate album is the culmination of 12 years of friendship, grief and glory, laying out in experimental hip hop the devastating consequences of fame on art.

While their music proves timeless, it sonically doesn’t offer much of anything new compared to last year’s Barn. Still, World Record offers some delicious, non-GMO food for thought.

The record is a fragmented conceptual journey that lusts and longs for love, though it sometimes loses direction.

While Titanic Rising envisioned waves of turmoil crashing on the horizon, Mering’s fifth full-length project places her directly in the eye of the storm — the looming consequences of capitalism, ecological degradation and modern technology have finally caught up with the world.
