John Fogerty returns with a star-studded affair on ‘Wrote a Song for Everyone,’ covering his own classics.

‘Random Access Memories,’ the thrilling new Daft Punk album, can be likened to your favorite team winning the national championship.
Indie rock darlings Vampire Weekend return as an older, more mature band on their superb third studio album, ‘Modern Vampires of the City.’
‘Jake Bugg,’ the self-titled debut LP by the Brit singer/songwriter is a highly recommended effort for traditional-, indie-, folk- or garage-rock fans.
French alternative rock collective Phoenix never miss a beat on Bankrupt! a compelling follow-up to their Grammy-winning 2009 LP, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.
Fantasia delivers an enjoyable fourth studio album with ‘Side Effects of You.’ It’s imperfect, but all in all, well-rounded.
Although lengthy and overstuffed, Kid Cudi delivers plenty of intriguing moments throughout the course of his third studio album, ‘Indicud.’
Up-and-coming, 20-year-old, Florida hip-hop/pop artist Jake Miller shines on EP, ‘The Road Less Traveled.’
While his sophomore album ‘Wolf’ is still ‘rough around the edges,’ Tyler, the Creator packages the album more responsibly than ‘Goblin.’
