Young Jesus - The Whole Thing Is Just There: This is an album worth diving into.

Swingin' Utters - Peace and Love: Not sure if this is the same band from Five Lessons Learned.

Street Dogs - Stand For Something Or Die For Nothing: Heard one, heard them all.

Pinback - Summer in Abaddon: AFK is a big winner, but the rest fails to engage.

mewithoutYou - [Untitled]: These guys have grown up.

The Interrupters - Fight The Good Fight: Much better than I would have thought.

Give - Love In This House: Sad to see these guys go out.

Foxing - Nearer My God: I really want to like this, but just cannot seem to get into it.

Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want: I can understand the hype for those looking for something heavier.

Camp Cope - How To Socialize and Make Friends: All the songs blend together, though not terrible songs.

Antagonize - Promo: Very much looking forward to a full length

Throbbing Gristle - 20 Jazz Funk Greats: Indeed.

Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs: Cannot wait for Some More Rap Songs.

Soccer Mommy - Clean: Pretty generic singer-songwriter album.

Smashing Pumpkins - Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1: I continue to enjoy everything he puts out.

Slow Fire Pistol - Beauty: I wish they would release more

Saba - Care For Me: Probably the best hip-hop album of last year.

Noname - Room 25: Lacks urgency

Janelle Monae - Dirty Computer: I can see the reason for the hype, but it does not hit on all cylinders.

Low - Double Negative: I had written these guys off a while back. Prematurely, it seems.
