Weezer - Weezer (Black Album)
48

Probably should have quit after Everything Will be Alright.

Pond - Tasmania
74

Anyone else getting a War on Drugs vibe?

Solange - When I Get Home
82

Close second to Seat at the Table, but what a wonderful weird R&B journey Solange takes us on.

Gary Clark Jr. - This Land
68

Perfectly average blues rock album by Gary. Politically charged opener "This Land" puts the spotlight on racism in America, but it comes off a bit cringey. Album definitely picks up in the second half - Gotta Get Into Something is catchy AF.

Czarface & Ghostface Killah - Czarface Meets Ghostface
72

Maybe the expectations are too high, but Czarface & Ghostface Killah SHOULD be a match made in heaven. Just like the MF Doom album should have been.

But, it ends up just being....eh. Go back to doing albums that aren't collaborative.

Jessica Pratt - Quiet Signs
79

Soothing music for those looking to unwind.

Xiu Xiu - Girl with Basket of Fruit
71

This is what nightmares are made of.

Panda Bear - Buoys
66

Panda Bear took one to many drugs on this trip.

Girlpool - What Chaos Is Imaginary
75

Pretty solid bedroom-pop/indie rock sound you'd expect from Girlpool.

FIDLAR - Almost Free
58

Not too solid. Only enjoyable tracks for me were "By Myself" and "Alcohol". Everything else is too much of a transition out of their old sound into something that isn't bearable.

James Blake - Assume Form
90

Album of the year coming in the first batch of music this week.

Deerhunter - Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?
78

Deerhunter coming out with another Deerhunter-esque album. No idea what direction they were going in for Detournement though.

Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
80

While the singles leading up to this record didn't captivate me, they work very well with the album as a whole.

Toro y Moi - Outer Peace
60

Very funky, but would have been much better as an instrumental album. The features didn't work, and all in all falls short of expectations.

Maggie Rogers - Heard It In A Past Life
65

If I wanted to provide someone the most average, paint by numbers Indie Pop album, this would be it.
