Marilyn Manson’s newest album, “WE ARE CHAOS,” is a harsh reminder to longtime fans that the rock star band has lost its edge.
Singles for the week of 9/18
All Them Witches’ album “Nothing as the Ideal” delivers haunting multigenre tracks. Although the music is impressive, the lyrics are forgettable.
“Bad Habits”
Usher
Released Sept. 10
RCA Records
In his latest single since June, Usher showcases his catchy pop lyricism and robust lyrics in “Bad Habits.” Though occasionally repetitive and typical in its storytelling, there’s little to dislike about the song’s electronic-driven, smooth beat.
“Whole New Mess,” the recent album by singer-songwriter Angel Olsen, creates new versions of a few tracks from her previous album “All Mirrors.”
In his latest album “Limbo,” Aminé uses his storytelling skills to contemplate the difficulties of growing up and the search for meaning in his own life.
Rising alt-pop star Dominic Fike’s new album, “What Could Possibly Go Wrong,” is an excellent album full of anthemic tracks and confessional lyrics.
The Psychadelic Furs, 29 years after its last album, has released “Made of Rain,” an entertaining but overall disappointing album.
“Folklore” matches acoustic sounds with lyrics telling of love stories- the likes of which fans haven’t heard since “Red” in 2012.
The band now known as The Chicks may have dropped “Dixie” from their name, but they have not changed their politics or sacrificed their sound.
Bashar Jackson, known as Pop Smoke, died five months before the release of his debut album. Fans lamented the artist and career that could have been.
