Rock

### *THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED*

The Armed

The Detroit collective’s sixth album faces down the apocalypse with some of its heaviest music yet: visceral, vital, and filled with desperate, righteous anger.

By Alex Robert Ross

Rock

### *Brute Fact/Home Truth*

Rounak Maiti

The Mumbai singer-producer’s new album couches hard emotional realities in echo-fogged guitars, bubbling synth-pop, bit-blasted percussion, and dreamy ambience.

By Bhanuj Kappal

Rap

### *Genesis*

Tommy Genesis

The Canadian rapper and singer takes an introspective turn, trading her raunchy bars and brash self-confidence for meditative—if slightly underbaked—examinations of uncertainty and identity.

By AJ Morris

Rock

### *Pony Express Record*

Shudder to Think

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit one of the strangest, most exhilarating products of the post-*Nevermind* alternative rock boom, the 1994 record by D.C. hardcore alchemists Shudder to Think.

By Philip Sherburne

Pop/R&B

### *BITE ME*

Reneé Rapp

The TV and theater star’s powerhouse vocals and abundant personality don’t entirely make up for the uneven material and sometimes maudlin production of her second album.

### *Headlights*

Alex G

Best New Album

Alex Giannascoli upgrades to hi-fi dad rock and sails home with a major label debut worthy of the all-time indie graduations.
- Rap

### *DON’T TAP THE GLASS*

Tyler, the Creator

Tyler’s ninth studio album is a brisk, single-minded, and snappy dancefloor romp. He skitters through electro, synth-funk, disco, and Miami bass not to reinvent himself, but to get lost.
- Pop/R&B

### *Veronica Electronica*

Madonna

The long-rumored collection of *Ray of Light* remixes was a thrilling prospect. The reality is slight and ill-considered, neither an authoritative survey nor a dynamic reinvention.
- Rap

### *Let God Sort Em Out*

Clipse

After 16 years, Pusha T and Malice return with a blockbuster comeback album produced entirely by Pharrell. It’s good, it’s different, it’s complicated.
- Rock

### *New Threats From the Soul*

Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band

Best New Album

The rich and dazzling album from the singer-songwriter is filled with rambling, gambling characters looking for hope. It’s the late arrival of an essential new voice in American indie rock.
- Pop/R&B

### *SWAG*

Justin Bieber

Pop’s youngest elder statesman continues to evolve his R&B sound by enlisting some big names from the underground. His seventh album is warm, blissful, and a little out of touch.
- Pop/R&B

### *Virgin*

Lorde

Lorde’s fourth album returns to the digital, physical sound of *Melodrama*. While rooted somewhat in her past, it’s a gritty, tender, and often transcendent ode to freedom and transformation.
- Rock

### *moisturizer*

Wet Leg

The UK duo’s second album is a near-reinvention, an unbridled and clear-eyed testament to their songwriting chops that hones their vision and separates them from the pack.

- Rock

### *Boys for Pele*

Tori Amos

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit Tori Amos’ divisive third album: a strange and unsettling amalgam of distorted harpsichord and bloody revenge fantasies born of ayahuasca, Mary Magdalene, and the blues.
- Electronic

### *Uncloseted*

Aaron-Carl

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible.

- Rock

### *Learning to Crawl*

The Pretenders

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we look back at Chrissie Hynde’s 1984 reinvention of her band, an album born of tragedy, chaos, and joy that becomes a no-holds-barred emotional rollercoaster.
- Experimental

### *Chuck Person’s Eccojams Vol. 1*

Oneohtrix Point Never

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we look back at the woozy, ethereal Daniel Lopatin remixes that summoned vaporwave from the ghosts of the 1980s: a warped cassette tape on a timeless vibe.
- Rock

### *Are You Experienced*

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we look back at the explosive 1967 debut from the short-lived and revolutionary trio, one of the defining articles of rock music.
- Rock

### *The Nashville Sessions*

Townes Van Zandt

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we look back at what was to be the cult singer-songwriter’s seventh album, shelved and later released in 1993. Its deathly mystique captures the heart and soul of Townes Van Zandt.
