POP Man of the Woods Justin Timberlake Sony *** 1/2 The new millennium’s ultimate multi-tasker, Justin Timberlake — film star, entrepreneur and Trolls soundtrack producer — wants his king-of-pop day job back.

With several of solo EPs and singles behind him, Neale’s LP was recorded over an 18-month period with producer Miro Mackie (WAAX/Cold War Kids). Balancing the music’s upbeat nature, there’s a vulnerability in some of the lyrics, with narratives ranging from social survival without alcohol (Small Talk) to battles with mental illness (All My Life).

The year’s best music has been well served by digital delivery, writes Sean Sennett Sitting in a posh record company office in the middle of this year, an executive told me major labels were enjoying a second renaissance. When your grandparents first discovered rock ’n’ roll, they had to dial up new music on Radio Luxembourg, or the equivalent, for an hour a day on the wireless.

Early next year expect some exciting events at Brisbane’s Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art with Summer Up Late, and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, which has unveiled its Triennial Extra program for next month with DJ sets featuring Miami Horror through to Quan & Ben (Regurgitator), Nina Las Vegas and more.As we roll into 2018, spend some time with the Kite String Tangle, the Creases, Grant McLennan fellowship winner Jeremy Neale, Baker Boy, Alex Lahey and Arno Faraji — and expect to see even more of Troye Sivan, the ­Presets, and Odette.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Sour Mash/Caroline *** 1/2 Noel Gallagher didn’t reinvent the wheel but he managed to mesmerise a generation with his particular way of spinning it. Since Oasis disbanded in 2009, this is his third solo album. Be Careful What You Wish For sees him mining a groove similar to the one Paul McCartney created to save John Lennon’s Come Together from sounding too much like Chuck Berry.Interlude (Wednesday Part 1) is a solid-gold instrumental that belongs in a European art house film.

There have been plenty of live albums in the past, but this set is Cold Chisel’s most expansive in-concert release. Since the passing of Steve Prestwich, the drum kit is occupied by Charlie Drayton. Prestwich’s songwriting contributions still shine, with the band doing justice to When the War is Over, Flame Trees (co-written with Walker) and a searing Forever Now.
