New Releases for November 19th, 2021

ADELE 30 CD/LP

30 Is the Best Adele Album Yet. She’s never sounded more ferocious than she does on 30 — more alive to her own feelings, more virtuosic at shaping them into songs in the key of her own damn life.” — Rolling Stone

ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS RAISE THE ROOF CD/LP

“Plant and Krauss’s default mode on Raise the Roof is to slow down, swapping the expected runs and wails of soul and blues for the gauzy, serene harmonies that they honed on Raising SandRaise the Roof could have emphasized the differences between its many musical differences, but instead, Plant and Krauss unify them.” - Slant Magazine

THE WEEKND THE HIGHLIGHTS LP

The Highlights is a well-selected point of entry... The Highlights also happened to arrive near the tenth anniversary of House of Balloons, the singer's debut mixtape… he's gone in that time, from a shadowy unknown to a global pop star.” - AllMusic

IDLES CRAWLER LP/DLX

“Throughout CRAWLER, Talbot’s poetic narratives and his bandmates’ ambitious barrage combine into some of the most compelling rock songs I’ve heard this year… There is nothing cute there to take you out of the moment — just the kind of pummeling, immolating, exhilarating sonic violence that might make a skeptic into a convert.” - Stereogum

MAKAYA MCCRAVEN DECIPHERING THE MESSAGE CD/LP

“Percussionist and DJ Makaya McCraven has been given access to the Blue Note vaults, allowing him to plunder for samples as he saw fit. This endeavor has resulted in his Blue Note debut Deciphering the Message. This album is more than just a jazz remix project. McCraven has enlisted the help of some modern jazz musicians to enhance the surgery already underway, creating a deft mix of the old with the new.” - Pop Matters

U2 ACHTUNG BABY 30TH ANNIVERSARY LP REISSUE

Achtung Baby is rightly known as one of rock's greatest reinventions because it was so complete. Sure, U2 changed their sound from chiming melodics to lurching, distorted rhythm. But they also changed their attitude, their demeanor, their look, their ideas on how to deal with celebrity. All of a sudden, they were funny, sexy, a bit dangerous.” - Pitchfork
