Weezer, Weezer [Gold Album]
The band’s seventh color-coded self-titled release presents their signature nerdish power-pop at its most brutal—all schlocky riffs, thundering beats, and scuzzy guitar tones.
Brandon Flowers, Thrasher
The Killers frontman’s third solo album achieves a past-perfect C&W sound and earnest, emotional delivery when it isn’t weighed down by Springsteen homage.
Lambchop, Punching the Clown
Kurt Wagner’s project returns to its most unvarnished form on his 17th album as he mourns the eerie grace of America’s flyover country through haunting, unadorned arrangements.
