| Need to give this a couple more listens before I can rate it, I think. I was pretty underwhelmed the first time I heard it, and liked it significantly more after that initial listen. I haven't picked it back up in about a week, but the melodies have been haunting me non-stop for the last couple days. Regardless, there is no denying FKA Twigs is one of the most interesting and promising of this whole 'skeletal r&b soul' whatever movement. |

| Take the best parts of early to mid 00's post-hardcore and mix it with the best (arguably only) good parts of early to mid 10's emo/pop-punk and yr close to what's on display here. There's dancy esoteric phxc, there's shimmeringly expansive Hotelier-esque emo, there's an audacious 'fuck you' straight-ahead punk rager as a closer; Kali Masi keep you on your toes in the best way. |

| This completely shattered my expectations. This is the most well-crafted, air-tight album in any genre of rock released this year. By building on an already strong foundation, and focusing on and perfecting flow and atmosphere, Sleepless proves that by giving the little things their due, bigger CAN be better. I count this as metalcore's Vheissu moment: an already accomplished band leveling up to a higher understanding and evolution of their genre of choice. |

| The Afghan Whigs How Do You Burn? | 4.0 |
| The slightly ineffective red herring opener aside, How Do You Burn? is a dense, textured and dynamic experience that also finds the Whigs writing the biggest hooks of their career. There's a little bit of everything here: the dusky and dramatic cinematics of the best Twilight Singers material, noisy and meticulous semi-ballads like those found on Dulli's latest solo outing, and a surprising amount of straightforwardly beautiful 90's alternative country/rock (A Line of Shots in particular sounds like a lost Counting Crows hit filtered through the distinctly confrontational Dulli's musical language). This is an exciting and unexpected melting pot of influences and songwriting styles that holds together as a (perhaps too) slick, catchy and enigmatic album of intricate and versatile rock and roll music. |

| Astral Pariah finds Trophy Scars at their most ferociously focused and dementedly dense, delivering a fleeting and audacious distillation of everything the band have worked towards in their storied career. Where Holy Vacants was a diffuse blockbuster of epic proportions, here, the band has burrowed inward and found a nasty and unblinking center that is more meticulous and uncompromising than usual. Something wicked this way comes, indeed. |
