The Hives - The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons

The Hives' first album in over a decade captures a lot of what made the band so fun in the first place.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool It Down

Not really an improvement over Mosquito... musically, that is.

The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta

The quality songwriting at the core of TMV is squandered by the band's drabbest sound palettes to date.

Gospel - The Loser

It's rare that a comeback rocks this hard.

Logic - Bobby Tarantino III

As a comeback project of sorts, Bobby Tarantino III isn't particularly auspicious.

Sweet Trip - A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals

Sweet Trip is mostly unaffected by the comeback curse on A Tiny House.

Hum - Inlet

Returning after decades of studio album silence, Hum tries to reintroduce their classic sound with some added bells and whistles, but falls quite short.

Pixies - Indie Cindy

Pixies return with a textbook example of a disappointing comeback record.
