Akwid returns with La Novela, featuring guest appearances by Los Tucanes De Tijuana, "El Flaco" Elizalde and Voces Del Rancho. "It's the first Akwid album that contains explicit lyrics," observes La Vibra, which calls it "their most adventurous release yet." "This mix of grittiness and sophistication strikes just the right note," writes Billboard.com, "achieving cohesiveness despite a changing cast of guest acts."
"Making The Band" act Day26 drops its self-titled debut. DJBooth.net asks: "Is this album truly the second coming of the Age of the Black Male Super Group? Not really, but it’s close enough to make me hopeful, and that’s going to have to be enough – for now." The Village Voice writes Day26 can "slow it down nicely," the group is "leaderless," leaving the vocals "sounding more crowded than harmonized."
Emo rockers Panic at the Disco release their sophomore album, Pretty. Odd. "Like any growing emo band, Panic want to make a Seventies-style art-rock epic," chides Rolling Stone, noting the album "sounds cheerful, with a broad sense of humor." Entertainment Weekly agrees: "The band may occasionally outpace themselves in an eagerness to make a Big Important Record… but they succeed an impressive amount of the time."
Latin nu-metal band Ill Niño delivers its fourth album, Enigma, after a five-year delay between releases. Tunelab Music thinks it was worth the wait: "The heavies are the heaviest Ill Niño has ever been, while the mellow moments are the band’s most serene and sultry." Rockfreaks.net can't help but enjoy it: "When the songs are as well written and executed… you tend to forget about the lack of originality."
