Nadia Oh - Hot Like Wow

Very good production (although possibly a bit racist), but the simple lyrics and Nadia Oh's emotionless vocal delivery really drag this album down for me. Just not my thing I guess.

Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree

Emo and proud.

I've Got a Dark Alley is really good, y'all are sleeping on it way too hard. It's one of the least popular Fall Out Boy songs but it's also one of their best.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
89

Sufjan Stevens is an artist who is willing to experiment with a whole bunch of different instruments, genres, styles, and production techniques. He's also really good at pretty much everything he tries. The point of this is he's really, really talented.

Excellent album. Beautiful gay love song. Now I want to go to Illinois.

twenty one pilots - Breach
81

I would consider this the most consistent Twenty One Pilots album, and it's consistently good throughout. Maybe a little iffy at the end, but I'm still undecided on that. This is a fitting end to the Clancy storylining, and I'm very excited to see where they decide to go from here.

Also, crazy that three of my favorite Twenty One Pilots songs fit together, specifically Paladin Strait to City Walls to Heavydirtysoul.
