Latrinalia, Rob Sonic’s 5th studio album, and (in this listener’s opinion his best work yet) acts as much of a soundtrack for the current state of the world as it does a gritty glimpse into an unsure future, soothing at times and startling the next. A self-produced opus full of wit and concise wordplay and hooks that stick to the ribs and ear like a home-cooked meal, Mr. Sonic has come not so much to save the world but to help it. – Maurine Morantz
