Bad Brains, Are You Ready
With these raw recordings from 1979, the DC band provides a glimpse into the birth of modern hardcore-punk—which would be far more exciting if we didn’t already have the incendiary Black Dots collection.
The Olivia Tremor Control, The Same Place
A sense of mortality hangs over the band’s final opus despite otherwise picking up right where they left off 27 years ago in proving that psych rock can be so much more than pastiche.
Queens of the Stone Age, Perfecth
The one-time stoner rockers sound totally at ease on an uncharacteristically relaxed-fit release that puts Josh Homme’s personality front-and-center.

Kraftwerk, “Radio-Activity” [50th Anniversary Edition]
This re-release presents a band that’s palatably gleeful to have figured out their formula with an astonishingly cohesive and weirdly poppy picture of a Cold War–fogged world.

MEMORIALS, “All Clouds Bring Not Rain”
The genre-hopping fifth LP from Verity Susman and Matthew Simms is more ornate and ambitious than their earlier material, though ultimately the whole is lesser than the sum of the parts.
