New Reviews: The Rapture Find God on First Album in Five Years
In this week’s slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Monica Herrera praises the Rapture‘s first album in five years, in which the Brooklyn trio “stumble out of the House of Jealous Lovers and into the house of God” with a set of gospel-inspired dance numbers. Also, Will Hermes has some qualms about the uneven sound of Lindsey Buckingham’s new solo album Seeds We Sow, Jon Dolan digs the first record by Kentucky garage rockers Sleeper Agent and Jody Rosen declares the latest single by Tom Waits to be “pure genius.”
