Polvo Siberia
'Siberia' is a direct descendant of Polvo's gorgeous 'In Prism,' but this time around, the band (admittedly) play to different strengths. More twisted and somber yet more loose and straightforward than on their previous 2009 LP, Polvo continually develop their post-'Shapes' sound: more grooves, longer songs, blurring the lines between prog-rock, math-rock, Eastern folk, and the blues. With both instant gems and enigmatic jam passages, so many parallels can connect these tracks and others found on earlier work such as 'Today's Active Lifestyles,' but Polvo have ultimately been refining their unique style all along.		4.0

Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks
Really a 4.2, and you shouldn't trust my NIN ratings anyway. That's because Trent Reznor is an artist who
consistently puts out music relevant to his true headspace at any given time, so I revere him and his work
religiously for that. With that said, I'm glad his headspace produced his most emotionally gripping music in
nearly a decade. Not too uplifting, not too melancholy. Funky, sexy, sonically aggressive, vocally and lyrically
dynamic, extremely thoughtful.		4.5

No Joy Wait to Pleasure
No Joy evolves exquisitely beyond their debut LP and incorporates a more direct sound, almost besting My Bloody Valentine at their own "New You" game while still sounding dirtier.		4.0
