Featured Rock Albums
2014
Jack White
– Lazaretto
The characters in these songs aren’t heroes—they’re hustlers, loners, ex-lovers, and con men trapped in some 21st-century Southern Gothic fever dream. He sounds like he’s arguing with them all, and himself. Lazaretto is messy in the way art is supposed to be.
1985
R.E.M.
– Fables of the Reconstruction
Fables of the Reconstruction feels like a slow walk through abandoned towns and haunted woods. It’s flawed, yes. Sometimes the shadows overtake the melodies. But it’s also one of their most rewarding records—quietly brave and strange in all the right ways.
Talking Heads
– Little Creatures
The charm is in how Little Creatures sounds friendly while quietly skewering suburbia, religion, consumerism, and love with surgical smiles. It’s Byrne as the carnival barker for the American dream, selling you tickets to a funhouse where the mirrors don’t lie, they just laugh.
