St. Vincent St. Vincent Loma Vista Recordings / Republic Alternative Singer/Songwriter AllMusic Avg User A fascinating mix of directness and artifice, St. Vincent's fourth album is her most satisfying yet. Beck Morning Phase Capitol / Virgin EMI Alternative/Indie Rock AllMusic Avg User A warm, comforting country-rock companion to the sorrowful 2002 LP Sea Change. Dierks Bentley Riser Capitol Nashville Contemporary Country AllMusic Avg User Reflective arena country from a singer facing middle age. ScHoolboy Q Oxymoron Interscope / Polydor Left-Field Hip-Hop AllMusic Avg User It's the Top Dawg rapper's most coarse and complicated effort to date, but the highlights are still vital. Neneh Cherry Blank Project Smalltown Supersound Experimental Rock AllMusic Avg User Riveting, often bleak work from Cherry -- only her fourth proper solo album but as collaborative as anything from her deep, undervalued discography. The Notwist Close to the Glass Sub Pop Indie Rock AllMusic Avg User The Notwist return from a six-year hiatus with their most rewarding album yet.
