34 | | Pianos Become the Teeth Wait For Love
oh how the mighty have fallen. zzzzzzzz. 2/5 |
33 | | Harms Way (USA-IL) Posthuman
heavy and dull, like most of their albums. 2.5/5 |
32 | | Thrice Palms
yup, they still haven't remembered how to make good music. 2.5/5 |
31 | | Titus Andronicus A Productive Cough
starts out strong but after that i have no idea wtf happened. biggest letdown of the year. 2.6/5 |
30 | | Foxing Nearer My God
all this makes me do is wanting to jam albatross. 2.8/5 |
29 | | God Is an Astronaut Epitaph
i don't even know why i'm listening to this band anymore because i absolutely know what they're going to do. it's ok, like most of their stuff but nothing more. 2.9/5 |
28 | | Cult Leader A Patient Man
i miss gaza. 3/5 |
27 | | Greyhaven Empty Black

auto pilot. 3/5 |
25 | | Conjurer Mire
went into this with big hopes. came back disappointed. 3.1/5 |
24 | | Deafheaven Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
honestly, i kinda forgot this album existed. they are a bit too far up in their own asses at this point but i've always liked their style. 3.3/5 |
23 | | Spanish Love Songs Schmaltz
captain we're sinking lite. 3.3/5 |
22 | | Turnstile Time and Space
improvement over their debut but i doubt they are going to make a huge difference for me despite all the good qualities they have. 3.4/5 |
21 | | The Body I have fought against it, But I can’t any longer
the body aren't here to satisfy you. it's not beautiful but it's powerful. 3.5/5 |

they are starting to overstay their welcome, still like it a lot though. 3.5/5 |
19 | | Rolo Tomassi Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It
i don't quite see what everyone else seems to see in this but it's absolutely enjoyable. 3.5/5 |
18 | | Respire Denouement
i'm just a sucker for this kinda stuff but it's been done far better. 3.5/5 |
17 | | Ezra Furman Transangelic Exodus
extremely fun live which made me check this. nothing outstanding but definitely a jam. 3.5/5 |
16 | | Portal ION
still creeps me out. 3.6/5 |
15 | | Bosse-de-Nage Further Still
they really caught everyone's attention with the previous album. this is yet another solid outing but not quite as interesting. 3.6/5 |
14 | | Birds in Row We Already Lost The World
still not quite on the level of their debut but great stuff. fossils wins soty. 3.7/5 |

5 | | Self Defense Family Have You Considered Punk Music
finally a consistently great album from these fuckers. 4/5 |
4 | | Heavy Weather We Still Have So Much Left To Lose
