Reviews
See All 
John Carpenter, Cathedral
The Halloween composer-director’s latest effort is a synth-heavy metal album planned as a soundtrack to his first-ever graphic novel, though both endeavors stand on their own merits.
Ariana Grande, Petal
The pop star’s eighth record finds roots in resilience, twisted romance, and unsparing musings on fame, though it never quite ascends to the extravagant spectacle it sets the stage for.
Syd, Beard
The producer and songwriter’s third album unfolds like a slow-burn romance that prioritizes subtlety over spectacle, though its unbothered warmth can feel frustratingly one-note.
