3 stars out of 5 -- "Arcade Fire fill the darkness with spectral portent on 'Abraham's Daughter,' and the Decembrists provide a jolt of electricity with 'One Engine,' which sounds like R.E.M. in Sixties garage mode.", "Haunted by gorgeously sad Southern-belle harmonies from Miranda Lambert and her fellow shotgun-toting Pistol Annies....Best of all is Kid Cudi's gothic rap-rock epic 'The Ruler and the Killer'..." -- Grade: B
