Say Anything - Oliver Appropriate:Feels disjointed musically.

MF DOOM and Bishop Nehru - NehruvianDOOM: Not sure how I missed this in the DOOMverse, but glad I found it.

LVL UP - Hoodwink'd: Incredibly solid indie rock album.

Lingua Ignota - Al Bitches Die: Recommended in the vein of Death Grips, but not in the same universe.

Julia Holter - Aviary: So much here to like, even if it does feel long at time.

Laura Jane Grace - Bought To Rotl Unenamored with the lead single, the album experience completely redeems it.

Drug Church - Cheer: One of my favorite punk-adjacent albums of the year.

Disco Inferno - D.I. Go Pop: I had high hopes for this post-rock album. Too high as it turns out.

Titus Andronicus - Home Alone On Halloween: An unproductive EP.

Machine Girl - The Ugly Art: Some compelling moments, but overall falls flat.

Jim Carrol Band - Catholic Boy: Thank you for the introduction Against Me!.

Bob Dylan - More Blood, More Tracks: My favorite Dylan album, but six discs is a bit much.

Cursive - Vitriola: Been years since I revisted The Ugly Organ. Time to do so again.

Wall Breaker - 2017 - Demo: Better than anticipated from their live show. Looking forward to more.

Thrice - Palms: I can just never get their stuff to stick with me.

Saves The Day - 9: Some interesting production choices early on, but the 20+ minute closing is the only essential track.

Restorations - LP5000: Solid rock album.

The Mountain Goats - Hex Of Infinite Binding: Always so solid, I look forward to each release.

The Mice - For Almost Ever, Scooter: Fantastic power pop that should be found by more.

Paul McCartney - Egypt Station: A little long, but it still such a treasure to have.
