Fifteen years after its original release, Ill Communication remains an impressive, often stunning synthesis of everything the Beastie Boys were and are.

The Dead Weather: Horehound
With the Dead Weather's debut, Jack White, Alison Mosshart and company craft an excellent album that delves straight to the murky, clinically depressed core of blues tradition.

Kasabian: West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
All the gimmicky studio effects in the world can't mask the fact that this album is likely to be one of the most hollow you'll hear all year.

Deerhunter: Rainwater Cassette Exchange EP
The impressive thing about this release is that, even on an EP of accessible pop songs, Deerhunter retain their skewed, inimitable shape.
