We’ll link to these albums and some reviews below.

Arctic Monkeys : Humbug

Arctic Monkeys have captivated the post-Britpop scene since their 2006 debut, but Humbug finds the group justifying the hype by shifting its best qualities into different, equally dazzling shapes. – Billboard

Willie Nelson : American Classic

Its sound is lustrous, its personnel impeccable. What’s missing is the sense of conviction that Mr. Nelson brings to his strongest work. – The New York Times

Colbie Caillat : Breakthrough

Caillat has a fine voice — clear and ringing, with a hint of a rasp — and she can write hooks. (She co-composed every song here.) But the simpering puppy love grows wearying over 12 tracks, especially because Caillat fails to convince as a romantic heroine. She sounds too goofy — too bubbly and tingly — to be lovelorn. – Rolling Stone

Matisyahu : Light

On bright pleasures like the New Wave-y “We Will Walk,” Light comes close to becoming an attention-holding pop album. But it’s dragged into earnest tedium by good-natured platitudes (“I must find a road that leads where nobody goes”) and hippie-soul moments like “Thunder,” on which Matisyeezy sounds like a self-serious indie rapper with a major vegan bent.. – Rolling Stone
