When all is said and done, Jamie xx really knows how to write a pop song, and this album is chock-full of that pop mastery writ large upon peak-hour rave from Room 1 and hollower downtempo from Room 2. Highly recommended.

Review forthcoming. TL;DR: Chiptune that doesn't feel quite as gimmicky as it probably should. Some seriously excellent hooky guitar lines with some solid instrumentation show why Anamanaguchi are leaders in the "chip-punk" (god, that's a bad name) scene.

Some very good pop punk here. Draw all the comparisons you want to Paramore, but it's a solid album.
TTNG 13.0.0.0.0
I don't think I've heard a safer contender for Album Of The Year in quite some time. Of course, that doesn't mean this is bad - it's a contender for album of the year, after all. It just feels like TTNG have their brand of clean math-rock down to such an art that they can make incredible songs like "Havoc In The Forum" and "I'll Take The Minute Snake" sound so easy. Which, I suppose, is a testament to the achievements of the band in general, and that they can make such good music so effortlessly is inspiring. This is a great album, and anyone with ears for guitar in 2013 should give it a chance.

Swindle has some of the funkiest, jazziest dubstep out there and Do The Jazz does not disappoint. His almost-unique spin on the genre is one not to be ignored, and the single/EP does quite well because of it.

Boys Noize Out Of The Black
It's unfortunate to think that Boys Noize has lost whatever made him fun on Oi Oi Oi with the release of Out Of The Black. Sure, it's technically sound, and it's still kinda enjoyable, with a trademark Boys Noize spin on things - it's just not as fun as I know Boys Noize can be. While this isn't a bad album, it's most certainly a step back from Oi Oi Oi, and that step back turns out to be highly unfortunate.

This album fulfills so many trance stereotypes it's not even funny. That's not really a good thing, and immaculate production can't save it from being painfully average.
BT Laptop Symphony
BT A Song Across Wires
Not nearly as bad as I was expecting from the teaser for "Letting Go," one of the worst songs on the album. I mean, it's still BT, and it's still beautifully produced, but at this point in the "EDM craze" all this stuff has kinda been done before, y'know?
