For clarification, being on this list doesn't necessarily mean the album was awful but it does indicate that I expected much more. Many of these artists are brilliant but somehow the artistry didn't click here or the songs simply just didn't inspire:
1.Fryars Power:
reinventing Britpop five years ago has apparently taken a toll on Ben Garrett. Wake me up when he does. (METACRITIC N/A)2. Foxygen …And Star Power:
after a stellar 2013, the band returned with the worst April Fool’s trick ever: drunken snippets posing as an album. (METACRITIC 6/10)3. Mac DeMarco Salad Days:
Demarco treads a fine line and he crossed it. (METACRITIC 8.2/10)4. Moonface City Wrecker:
Spencer Krug continues his pinning while we all wait for the lover’s backlash. (METACRITIC 7.6/10)
5. Popstrangers Fortuna:
ragged and disjointed sophomore slump. (METACRITIC 7.4/10)6. Sharon van Etten Are We There:
at the pedestrian rate this album goes, I dount van Etten will reach to her destination. (METACRITIC 8.6/10)7. The Doppelgangaz Peace Kehd:
not bad but not an improvement on their previous outing. (METACRITIC N/A)8. The Black Keys Turn Blue:
alt-rock’s most consistent band finally put out an album without that special touch. (METACRITIC 7.2/10)9. Tricky Adrian Thaws:
though his riffs remain engaging, this album finally put the boring atmosphere squarely in this phase of his career. (METACRITIC 6.7/10)10. Spoon They Want My Soul:
after four years away, I expected a tad much more. (METACRITIC 8.1/10)
