In the week’s rock and reviews recap known as the New Music Report, Rolling Stone’s Christian Hoard tackles everything from Bruce Springsteen’s rollicking, slide-filled performance at the Super Bowl halftime show to this year’s Coachella lineup, which features headliners Paul McCartney, the Killers and the Cure. Hoard also talks the 50th anniversary of the Day the Music Died and digs into Fatboy Slim’s BPA project.

As for reviews, Hoard spotlights Lily Allen’s It’s Not Me, It’s You. Jody Rosen gave the British pop queen’s second album a three-star review, noting “any of the album’s dozen tracks could be a single.” The problem lies in Allen’s subject matter: “No longer content to be a quirky confessional songwriter, Allen has decided that she is a social critic, a job she doesn’t have the maturity or the insight to pull off.”

Rolling Stone welcomed a new writer to the reviews crew in our new issue, on stands today: Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, who examined a record by one of his favorite artists: Peter Tosh’s The Ultimate Peter Tosh Experience (more on Stump’s new gig as an RS critic here). In his review of Tosh’s Ultimate, Stump writes, “If Bob Marley was reggae’s Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh was its MC5: less accessible, more cocky and a whole hell a lot more dangerous.”
