| Against Me! Transgender Dysphoria Blues |
| Bands tend to make their best music when they've got something to prove. For all too many bands this is their first album, trying to cement themselves as important among the hordes of other bands. Rare for an established band, Against Me! have two tries at the plate here, with them being off their major label and Laura going public with the gender dysphoria she faced for years. And damnit, they step up to the plate and deliver their best album yet. The fire and venom in tracks like Drinking With the Jocks and Black Me Out is undeniable. These are the songs she's kept pent up for years, only offering glimmers in earlier songs like The Ocean. Years of rage, confusion, fear, pain, and hope put to disk, and one of the most important albums to release in years. |

| Kaddisfly return after eight years with an album that blends the melodic adventurousness of "Buy our Intention..." and the soaring epic feel of "Set Sail The Prairie". 100% worth the wait. |

| One of the most unbelievable things about this album is exactly how long it took for me to warm up to it. When it came out I was unbelievably hyped for it and was let down big time. I came back to it every once in a while and it seriously took until 2011 until all the pieces fell together. Now it's one of my favorite CDs. Good shit. |

This is a fantastic pop album, and I could see moving my rating up in a few months once it's
sunk in. The songs are catchier than herpes, and Patrick is on fucking fire through the
whole thing. I can see someone who actually took the title "Save Rock and Roll" from a band
that that's named a song "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save The Scene
and Stop Going To Shows)" being disappointed, but they're probably pretty fucking stupid to
actually expect a pop band to "save rock and roll". |

| I usually don't buy albums that aren't fives, and even then, money is tighter than usual for me right now. However, providing the ultimate F.U. to Geoff Tate was worth every penny of 12 dollars. |

| This sure is a Jonny Craig project. In the vein of the last Emarosa album for sure. |

| leagues above their earlier work, some of the best pop songs I've ever heard are on this album, but the whole album is a little let down by some poorer tracks in the second half. cut "the man who married a robot", "mine," and "i couldn't be more in love", and you have a much stronger album that would easily be a contender for my top 10 of the decade. |
