Turnstile - NEVER ENOUGH

If Turnstile called this The Glow (On), Part 2 this would be the highest rated album on this site.

Least Favorite Tracks: TIME IS HAPPENING

The Callous Daoboys - I Don't Want to See You in Heaven

I couldn't be more erect.

The Callous Daoboys - Celebrity Therapist
72

Absolutely batshit crazy. On one hand, I admire the lengths to which this band goes to in an effort to pull all of what's going on here off. However, it feels unbridled to the point where the qualities that draw me to this style of music get lost in the sauce. All that said, I'm so excited for their next record which comes out in *checks watch* two hours!

Alien Boy - You Wanna Fade?
85

Been looking forward to this one for a second, and it didn't disappoint.

Favorite Tracks: Scrub Me Clean, Changes, You Want Me To, Cold Air, Rhythm of Control, Pictures of You, Everything Stays, Bleeding In Yr Pocket, You Wanna Fade?
Least Favorite Tracks: I Broke My World

Sleep Token - Even in Arcadia
59

I get that they have a niche to fill, but at what cost?

Favorite Tracks: Dangerous, Caramel, Even In Arcadia, Infinite Baths
Least Favorite Tracks: Look To Inward, Past Self, Gethesmane

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars
75

I've really enjoyed Car Seat Headrest's output in the past, and watching Will Toledo create his own fictional universe is indeed quite intriguing, but the density keeps me from fruitfully engaging with the material. That said, I've been distracted whenever I've listened to this album, so I may listen again on a long train ride or something.

Favorite Track: The Catastrophe (Good Luck With That, Man)

Gigi Perez - At The Beach, In Every Life
86

It's so rare to see an artist blow up this quickly, and even rarer to see a full body of work that surpasses the song that put them on the map in the first place. So touching.

Favorite Tracks: Sleeping, Normalcy, Chemistry, Crown, Fable, Please Be Rude, At The Beach, In Every Life
Least Favorite Tracks: N/A

Samia - Bloodless
84

The intricate way Samia is able to take a unique spin on the singer-songwriter realm makes her latest album her best by a long shot.

Favorite Tracks: Bovine Excision, Hole In A Frame, Lizard, Spine Oil, Carousel, North Pools
Least Favorite Tracks: Fair Game

Ghost - Skeletá
58

Singles are carrying this album like Atlas with the world on his shoulders.

Favorite Tracks: Peacefield, Lachryma, Umbra
Least Favorite Tracks: Guiding Lights, Missilia Amori

Jane Remover - Revengeseekerz
88

Oh this goes CRAZY. I've been trying to get into a Jane Remover album since I heard her for the first time, and this is what finally did it.

Favorite Tracks: TWICE REMOVED, Psychoboost featuring danny brown, experimental skin, Dreamflasher, TURN UP OR DIE, fadeoutz, Dark night castle

The Mars Volta - Lucro sucio; Los ojos del vacio
85

FUCK yeah. I've never been a big Mars Volta fan but the textures throughout this psychedelic latin jazz record are nothing short of fantastic. There's something to be said for taking the formula of a typical rollout in this social media driven age and completely flipping it on its head. I'm thoroughly impressed.

Bon Iver - SABLE, fABLE
92

Had a wonderful first listen of this record in a park. Can't wait to listen again soon.

Favorite Tracks: S P E Y S I D E, AWARDS SEASON, Short Story, Everything Is Peaceful Love, Walk Home, Day One, From, If Only I Could Wait, There's A Rhythmn
Least Favorite Tracks: I'll Be There

Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
68

I KEEP TRYING WITH THIS BAND TO NO AVAIL

Florist - Jellywish
84

It's amazing how bare yet powerful something like this project can be.

Favorite Tracks: Levitate, Have Heaven, Jellyfish, This Was A Gift, All The Same Light, Moon, Sea, Devil, Gloom Designs
Least Favorite Tracks: N/A

Momma - Welcome to My Blue Sky
77

Favorite Tracks: I Want You (Fever), Stay All Summer, How To Breathe, Ohio All The Time, My Old Street
Least Favorite Tracks: New Friend

Glare - Sunset Funeral
70

Was really hoping they would dive further into their depressingly lush soundscapes, which they do on occasion but not really enough to seal the deal. Still great though.

Favorite Tracks: Mourning Haze, 2 Soon 2 Tell, Chlorinehouse, Guts, Sungrave
Least Favorite Tracks: Saudade, Different Hue

Thornhill - BODIES
80

Thornhill continues to be the benchmark that other bands in this style of music should be reaching towards with regards to production, songwriting, and groove.

Favorite Tracks: DIESEL, Revolver, Silver Swarm, Only Ever You, nerv, Obsession, For Now
Least Favorite Tracks: CRUSH

Great Grandpa - Patience, Moonbeam
89

Now THIS is that beautiful stuff.

Favorite Tracks: Never Rest, Junior, Emma, Ladybug, Doom, Task, Top Gun
Least Favorite Tracks: idk yet

Mumford & Sons - RUSHMERE
45

Yeah, I couldn't do it. I thought I could considering how I've enjoyed Noah Kahan in the past, but those first three tracks really took this for a nosedive. Sorry.

Lucy Dacus - Forever Is A Feeling
77

Beautifully arranged and some of the best lyricism of the year so far! I'm glad I didn't check out all of the singles. Also as someone who isn't chronically online how did this album generate so much controversy? Weird stuff.

Favorite Tracks: Ankles, Talk, For Keeps, Forever Is A Feeling, Bullseye
Least Favorite Tracks: Big Deal, Limerance
