Mastodon, Marrow Deep
On their eerie, electrifying return, the Atlanta metal icons cut through the mire of grief and come up with a spectacular, pained record that’s among the finest of their career.
Mike D, Thank You
Mike Diamond maintains the close-knit familial vibe and youthful effusion the Beastie Boys forged in 1981 on a debut solo effort full of looped synths and snaggle-toothed raps.
The Linda Lindas, Gotta Get Out
The winsome punks’ urgent third record feels like a fresh revisiting of familiar themes—most notably the ever-present, agonizing ache for political action.
