<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-16T20:23:37+00:00“>April 16, 2021 | 4:23pm ET Punk-rock veterans The Offspring have released their 10th studio album, Let the Bad Times Roll, out now via Concord Records. The LP marks the band’s first album in roughly nine years, following 2012’s Days Go By. As the album’s title implies, the Southern California rockers are still writing stadium-ready anthems about the problems of the world today. Catchy power chords, upbeat tempos, and sing-a-long choruses are bolstered by The Offspring’s signature brand of irreverent humor. As mentioned in our review, the band long ago mastered the art of infectious punk-rock songwriting, and Let the Bad Times Roll proves that they haven’t lost ...

Take a listen to it below via Apple Music or Spotify. The 1994 original was produced by Rick Rubin and went on to become one of Petty’s most admired records. The alternate versions on Finding Wildflowers first appeared on the 2020 collection Wildflowers & All the Rest , an expansive — and, at least in its Super Deluxe edition — expensive retrospective. It’s now been made available digitally, on CD, and as a limited-edition gold vinyl. Finding Wildflowers colle...

Here, Greta Van Fleet pull back the curtain on the band’s new album, The Battle at Garden’s Gate. Greta Van Fleet experienced a meteoric rise after breaking out in 2017 with their single “Highway Tune” and two EPs, followed by their 2018 debut full-length album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army. The young Michigan rockers have now released their highly anticipated sophomore LP, The Battle at Garden’s Gate, providing Consequence of Sound with an exclusive track-by-track breakdown. The album finds Greta Van Fleet expanding beyond the hard...

Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. In recent months The Machine has been living up to his name, as this record follows February’s If It Bleeds It Can Be Killed, September’s From King to a GOD, June’s No One Mourns the Wicked, and last March’s LULU. This latest endeavor comes via longtime home Griselda Records, as well as EMPIRE, and his own Drumwork Music Group. La Maquina features guest verses from 2 Chainz, J.I.D, Westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher, Ludacris, Jae Skeese, 7xvethegenius, and El Camino, with production by Cosmo Bea...

Stream it via Apple Music and Spotify below. The 12-track project features appearances from Freddie Gibbs (“Much Money”) and Denzel Curry (“A+”). It is primarily produced by Julian Cruz, with Mason contributing production to a handful of tracks. A pair of rising artists, Dallas’ Angel White featuring on “Titan” and bi-lingual New Jersey singer-songwriter Ambar Lucid, join the Atlanta rapper on “Titan” and “Breathe”, respectively. Prior to the full-length’s release, Mason shared “Partments”, “Pup”, “Play Ball”, and “Rih”. Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut follows his b...
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-16T04:00:48+00:00“>April 16, 2021 | 12:00am ET Paul McCartney has just released McCartney III Imagined, his new album of covers and remixes by St. Vincent, Damon Albarn, Josh Homme, and many other marquee artists. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. If the title didn’t make it obvious, this new LP was composed entirely by other musicians as they reimagine McCartney III, the solo album he dropped last December. Because that record was written, performed, recorded, and produced entirely by McCartney himself, it’s extra fitting for the former Beatle to put that same material in the hands of others to see how it sounds from different perspectives. As we heard in early singles...

The 13-track effort features a score of feature appearances, and you can stream the entire thing below via Apple Music and Spotify. ROADRUNNER comes almost two years after 2019’s GINGER — a significant gap for the Los Angeles crew that released three volumes of SATURATION in 2017 and dropped the incredible iridescence a year later. Collective leader Kevin Abstract tweeted that this would be the first of two BROCKHAMPTON LPs for 2021, and that they would be the group’s last. However, similar statements were made around SATURATION III, so perhaps we shouldn’...

Stream the collection below via Apple Music and Spotify. The R&B singer broke onto the scene with his hit “Adorn” from ADC Vol. 1 back in 2012. That same year he released two other entries in the series, all leading up this his debut full-length Kaleidoscope Dream. In a press statement, Miguel intimated that releasing Art Dealer Chic Vol. 4 is akin to reactivating a moniker that gets to the core of his “truest self:” “I’ve been doing a lot of work to consider and refine my beliefs in the last few years. Inevitably, this bro...
Back in 2008, ANOHNI released a song titled “Another World” while fronting her former band Antony and the Johnsons. Now, the track has received a new string rearrangement for The National’s Bryce Dessner and Australian String Quartet’s new album, Impermanence/Disintegration, made in collaboration with the Sydney Dance Company. “Another World (String Arrangement)” closes Impermanence/Disintegration, and is the sole song on the project to feature vocals. ANOHNI’s haunting vocals and sobering lyrics hit even harder on the new version. “I need another place/ Will there be peace?” she sings. “I need another world/ This one’s nearly gone.” The new music video is an excerpt from the Sydney Dance Company’s hour-long dance work that premiered in Sydney in March 2020. Both the album’s music and acco...
Demi Lovato has just released Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over, her first new album in four years. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. This is Lovato’s seventh studio album to date, following her 2017 record Tell Me You Love Me. Clocking in just under an hour, Dancing with the Devil… the Art of Starting Over spans 19 songs in total, including the previously released singles “Anyone”, “What Other People Say” with Sam Fischer, and the title track “Dancing with the Devil”. Dancing with the Devil… was written around the time of Lovato’s tragic drug overdose, and as such it sees Lovato touching upon themes of resilience, self-help, and friendship — the latter of which is emphasized through collaborations with Ariana Grande (“Met Him Last Night”), Saweetie (“My Girl...
