| Laura Stevenson Sit Resist | 5.0 |
| A Record was pretty great, but this is better. Fantastic songwriting, and now with really strong production and a greater sense of identity. One of the best albums of the year so far, easily. |

| Asking Alexandria Reckless and Relentless | 2.0 |
| Pretty middle of the road metalcore stuff. Electronic influence works against them. Solid vocals though. |
| Timber Timbre Creep On Creepin' On | 4.0 |
| Really neat album. Filtering doowop music through a modern sensibility and making it all dark and creepy. Very cool. |
| Glasvegas Euphoric Heartbreak | 1.0 |
| Maybe one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I honestly can't think of any redeeming qualities. "I Feel Wrong" is alright. |
| Swarms Old Raves End | 3.5 |
| Protest the Hero Scurrilous | 3.5 |
| The Dead Milkmen The King in Yellow | 3.5 |
| Travis Barker Give The Drummer Some | 1.5 |
| Pretty crappy mainstream hip-hop. Not a single good verse, even when the rappers themselves are good. Beats aren't terrible though, and Barker's playing is in good form. |

| The Naked and Famous Passive Me, Aggressive You | 3.0 |
| Some of these songs really tear it up - "Spank" in particular - but most of the time, it's just pretty good 80s-ish pop tones. Good for a specific mood. |

| Selfish Whales Enjoy the Weather | 4.5 |
| Fantastic album, mixing elements of folk, punk, indie, and even a little bit of hip-hop with fantastic melodies, unique instrumentation, and really interesting songwriting. |
