The Aussie metalcore mob returns with another emotionally bruising collection that lacks progression, but excels in its ferocious execution.
Dave Grohl and company return with a scrappier, louder record that is far from being a by-the-numbers affair – and all the better for it.
Genre-blurring alt-metallers navigate through loss with a third album that stutters with mixed results.
With instrumental vibrancy and cathartic lyricism, the emotional math-rockers deliver on their potential with one of the best debuts of the year.
Contemplative indie/emo quintet distill grief, anxiety, and fractured identity on a rewarding seventh album that finds peace in uncertainty.
