Addendum (album)

Addendum is the fifth studio album by American musician John Maus, released on April 20, 2018. It is a twelve-track collection that serves as an "addendum" to his previous album Screen Memories (2017). As Maus explained, "It was really more that I made an album, but then I realized I had two albums worth of stuff." Accordingly, the songs on Addendum were made in a more "carefree" manner than Screen Memories and are most resemblant of his usual style.

Release
Addendum was first issued as a bonus vinyl disc on a career retrospective box set. A standalone CD and digital release followed on May 18. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, Addendum received an average score of 70 based on 7 reviews, indicating a "generally favorable" reception.

Pitchfork reviewer Evan Rytlewski wrote, "Maus has made more profound and mysterious records, but never one that has taken this much delight in its own ridiculousness." Q magazine called it an "intriguing, if not quite essential, addition to the Maus canon."
