New Reviews: Patrick Stump’s Solo Album Is ‘Irrefutably Catchy’
In this week’s slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Jody Rosen says that Soul Punk, the debut solo record from former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, is one of “the most irrefutably catchy albums of 2011.” Also, Josh Eells describes Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto as a “bear-hug record for a bear-market world,” Jon Dolan pans Jane’s Addiction’s “sleepy” new album, The Great Escape Artist, and Will Hermes praises the “buttery harmonies” on Real Estate’s Days.
