In this week's slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Will Hermes approves of superproducer Danger Mouse and composer Daniele Luppi's Rome, a "15-track score to a film that exists only in your head" featuring vocals by Jack White and Norah Jones. He says that the tracks featuring White and Jones are quite good, but ultimately the record "is as much about sublime instrumentals — made of celesta, harpsichord, Hammond organ, strings, nasty funk guitar and those weird-ass choirs — as lead singers." Also, Jon Dolan praises Tyler, the Creator's controversial new album Goblin, observing that despite all the rapper's bile, his songs hint at a "boyish innocence." Lauren Sloss is less fond of songwriter Cass McCombs' latest, Wit's End, which she says is "difficult to listen to without a side of Prozac, or at least a stiff drink."
