Turnstile - Move Thru Me: Unsurprising hardcore. Sometimes that is just fine.

Touche Amore - Stage Four: I always forget about how great they are between album cycles.

Super Unison - Auto: Worth listening to on a regular basis.

Suffocate For Fuck Sake - In My Blood: Cribbing parts of City of Caterpillar and Converge is one way to get my attention.

Somos - First Day Back: Some strong tracks, but the production holds it back a bit.

Solange - Seat At The Table: Could not get into it.

Smoke DZA & Pete Rock: Don'e Smoke Back: Best old-school hip-hop album of 2016?

Sleigh Bells - Jessica Rabbit: How the music industry has changed since they came on the scene. They now sound dated.

Xenia Rubinos - Black Terry Cat: I can skip it.

Rolling Stones - Blue And Lonesome: Wow!

Planes Mistaken For Stars - Prey: Decent return.

Pinegrove - Cardinal: Really surprised this made so many year end lists. Deserving, just surprising.

Papa M - Highway Songs: Sounds like demos to a new Slint album. Please?

Angel Olsen - My Woman: Such an incredibly haunting voice.
