King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Sketches of Brunswick East: Something new from them and i need to recalibrate.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland: Unreal how they keep churning out above average all year long.

Hot Water Music - Light It Up: Yup, this is Hot Water Music.

Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins: I think I missed the boat for this to be interesting.

Gogol Bordello - Seekers and Finders: Gets a little plodding towards the end.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Luciferian Towers: Always find ways to captivate.

Aby Gnana Diop - Liital: Looking for something fundamentally sound but wildly weird?

GlassJaw - Material Control: Still cannot get into these guys.

The Front Bottoms - Going Grey: What a dissapointing turn.

Friend Enemy - 10 Songs: Confounding.

Foo Fighters - Concrete and Gold: Their most Floydian outing.

Jeff Rosenstock - Post-: I give this album 9 out of 10.

American Nightmare - American Nightmare: Clean production holds it back, but these are going to rip live.
