Like fellow ’90s Chicago great Michael Jordan, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has seen his legacy become somewhat tarnished in recent years by poor late-career decision-making and the Internet’s desire to turn him into an endless meme cycle. But even though Corgan doesn’t have six championship rings to make his resume as bulletproof as Jordan’s, you could certainly make the argument that

The Bitter End: Same As It Ever Was The definition of a true musical moment is that when you’re in the thick of ONE, it really seems like it’s never going to end. Such was the case with the EDM boom of the early 2010s, a movement that established pulsating, treble-soaked electronic dance as not only the dominant form of crowd-pleasing live music, but the contemporary lingua franca for all of pop,

Hey, 2013: Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! And no, we’re not quoting a member of the Cyrus family. There’s a spectacularly shiny and/or gloriously grimy and/or fabulously phony world out there awaiting us, so here are 50 of the most anticipated albums of the new year.

The year in desolate noise, fuzzy ambient, out jazz, synth tapes, fiery cello improv, bleaktronics, noise-pop, euphoric sax, Hasidic doom metal, and more — a.k.a., the best of the rest.

They came in like a wrecking ball: a pair of violinists, some Norwegian garage grinners, a gaggle of sixtysomethings, a roving Deftone, and something called “The Pecan Tree.” Enjoy.

Car Seat Headrest - "Beach Life in Death" BiS-Kaidan is a cross-generational coup de pop, uniting two acts from opposing ends of Japan’s musical spectrum. BiS (short for Brand-New Idol Society) are representatives of Japan’s “idol” scene, a culture of singer-dancer-celebs who define the country’s pop mainstream. Hijokaidan is an infamous art-noise improv troupe dating back to the late ’70s, famous

The new “Super Deluxe” reissue of Nirvana’s In Utero contains many things: Dozens of bonus tracks, a previously unreleased “Forgotten Tune,” a DVD capturing the iconic band’s Live & Loud concert, and, in the liner notes, a four-page fax that producer Steve Albini sent to Nirvana in 1992, wherein he lays out a work proposal for the album’s recording sessions. The massive box set was released earlie

Melt-Banana, the original bubble-gnash architects of scrape-and-soar noise-punk have returned for a fresh 33-minute caffeine jolt. Their eighth album, fetch, arrives after a six-year silence — the record was side-lined in 2011 after the T?hoku earthquake and subsequent meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a disaster that resulted in more than 15,000 lives lost. fetch is a full reinve

In compiling a list of our favorite alternative drummers, we know that what makes someone “alternative” is admittedly subjective — though we remain wowed by their skills, the arena-rocking misty-mountain marauding of John Bonham or the artfully destructive chaos of Keith Moon or the ridiculoid festival freakouts of Dave Matthews Band’s Carter Beauford are too anchored to commercial bedrock. Once-a

The 101 Best Kanye West-Produced Songs That Don't Feature Kanye During the 1960s, the counterculture simply became culture: the sexual revolution, psychedelic drugs, hating the Vietnam War, Dennis Hopper. And it’s impossible to bodypaint this decade’s popular music as anything less than a combustible force of nature, especially with Jimi Hendrix torching guitars and Pete Townshend smashing guitars

Jason Graves' Moss: Book II Soundtrack Gets a New Release Alongside Quest 2 Launch Gaming music is nothing new. Video games and hip hop have been practically inseparable since their birth in the 1970s.

Every Talking Heads Album, Ranked To celebrate the new generation of shredders profiled in our May/June “Loud Issue,” the SPIN staff decided to find some wheedle in a haystack, taking on the impossible task of ranking our favorite guitar players of all time.

Everywhere you looked this year there was an absurd or chaotic or turbulent situation that made absolutely no sense whatsoever — people all over the world seemed so fed up that they were willing to make shit up on their own, on the spot, damn the consequences. And here at home, who knew what to make of the pop-culture universe — how were musical provocateurs like Kanye West or Lady Gaga supposed t

We tried our best to chart 2011’s sprawling hip-hop universe in infographic form, we deconstructed the New Underground, we debated “Drizzy: Rap or R&B or Just Plain Annoying?,” and we toured with Odd Future, courageously trying not to add to the number of adults saying “swag” in public. What eventually emerged from that journey was this list of 40 albums: Billionaires bragging about Basquiats and

SPIN put Moby on its June 2000 cover and explored his transition from hated techno “sell-out” to newfound A-lister and MTV staple. The magazine’s 1999 review of Play awarded 9 out of 10 stars for the way
