This already sounds more ambitious than the EC debut and is more in tune with a CEG album. It's certainly still it's own thing and I don't wanna continually compare his output to his original band, but his voice and songwriting are so distinct that might be an impossibility. Either way, I am so grateful that he's still around pumping out this sort of cathartic indie, post-punk, emo whatever you wanna call it. This album sounds really special. Sufjan Stevens Javelin4.5Wilco Cousin4.0Animal Collective Isn’t It Now?4.0I actually have enjoyed everything from Centipede Hz on, but it is really nice to have AnCo making great records again. Time Skiffs was great and this feels even more ambitious while retaining that album's catchy, live charm. A good companion to that album while easily standing as its own behemoth. Can't wait to peel back everything going on here over the course of repeat listens.

It's so easy to write them off as a Manchester clone or lackey but they're so so much more. This is their 4th excellent record alongside two stellar EPs. This thing gets real cranky at points too - much heavier than Mr. Hull is mustering up. Wilco Cruel Country4.5A slow burning, gorgeous album. Like a massive cozy blanket with a lot of depth.Kendrick Lamar Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers5.0Arcade Fire WE4.0Frog Eyes The Bees4.0I was beyond excited when I found out Frog Eyes were reuniting to keep this carnival ship rocking on choppy waters. Carey Mercer is such an evocative songwriter and vocalist along the lines of Spencer Krug (bffs) or Aaron Weiss of mewithoutYou. This, their 9th (!) album, finds Carey going back for more guitar-centric sounding material. Seeing as I still think Paul's Tomb and Tears of the Valedictorian are their magnum opuses, and both are guitar records, I am really happy. I truly find joy in all of their material, as it is not something people grasp on a first or second listen (even seasoned listeners), but the payoff is immense. This album moves and grooves unlike anything released since Paul's Tomb and is arguably as rhythmic as I've ever heard them. Fantastic band that has always deserved far more attention, but that ship has sailed. Just blessed and pleased that these Canadian maniacs are back with another fantastic album. One of their best. Toro Y Moi Mahal4.0Kurt Vile Watch My Moves4.0Father John Misty Chloe and the Next 20th Century4.0Destroyer LABYRINTHITIS4.0Kevin Devine Nothing's Real, So Nothing's Wrong4.5I just really wish my guy KD could ever get some critical and fanatical momentum. He's had his blips, but the fact that he's so closely involved with Brand New and Manchester Orchestra, while sharing sonic DNA with both bands, but never getting nearly as popular, even on sites like this, makes me sad and confused. Kanye West Donda 21.0Spoon Lucifer on the Sofa4.0Big Thief Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You5.0Animal Collective Time Skiffs4.0First off, this album is excellent. Avey/Panda/Deakin's melodies are as good as they've been since MPP. Additionally, I am really taken aback by how nostalgic a lot of this album sounds without sounding contrived. From Avey's melodies to the full band set up, there's call backs to OLD albums more than we've gotten in 13 years (and I like Painting With and Centipede HZ!) The albums this most closely shares DNA with is Spirt They've Vanished and Feels for sure with a small dash of Centipede while of course having its own sound. Well done, boys...well done!The Weeknd Dawn FM4.02021 Limp Bizkit Still Sucks4.0The War On Drugs I Don't Live Here Anymore4.5Parquet Courts Sympathy For Life4.5After a few spins, I'm fairly sure this is my favorite Parquet Courts album. This is a move I pulled a lot say, ten years ago, but not anymore. I love PC, but this is doing a lot of things I've wanted from their albums and it's odd bends, melodic bends, and just frankly making me feel like I have er, the bends, is why I'm loving it so. That early 3.1 is bumming me out, but whatever, Sputnik will Sputnik.

Fun album with some jams.Iceage Seek Shelter4.0I'm a longtime wannabe fan, first time real fan. This album is such a fun ride and as I travel around their discography, I can't get over how good this band is. I knew it the whole time too and was constantly recommended them and still just didn't really do it outside of some quick listens. I am fully enthralled and blown away by the quality of...well, everything here and on the other 4 records. Squid Bright Green Field4.5Manchester Orchestra The Million Masks of God4.0Dinosaur Jr. Sweep It Into Space4.0Spencer Krug Fading Graffiti4.0Lana Del Rey Chemtrails Over The Country Club4.0Chevelle NIRATIAS4.0Cloud Nothings The Shadow I Remember4.0Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Carnage4.5Wow - this is so good. I selfishly wish it was a "Bad Seeds" release but that's beside the point. Such a gorgeous, poignant album. Sparsely arranged albums like this that still are diverse and fluid is another walk in the park for Nick and Warren. My expectations were certainly anything but low, but it is such an engaging beautifully arranged album and I'm so pleased. Definitely cut from the Push/Skeleton/Ghosteen trilogy cloth but its own beast altogether.

He's getting more and more into his folk roots with each album and some artists who go this route don't necessarily have my full attention. But man, if he doesn't do it better than most. Such an enthralling, beautiful artist and album.

If this is any indication of what's to come from Joe D though, then not to worry. It honestly sounds like the 5th Cymbals album in a lot of ways. It's a very emotional record with a lot of CEG's feel and approach, so I'm excited to see what can come from this project. The Weeknd After Hours4.0Real Estate The Main Thing4.0I for one am enjoying the new direction Real Estate has taken since the departure of Matt Mondanile. They're in a weird place where their last two albums are not enough of a separation of their first three for some, while too much of a departure of their sound for others. I'm here for it because Real Estate's songwriting has always (deceptively) been the core of their sound, which I think holds up real well in a more dreary, psychedelic, proggy setting. Great album Califone Echo Mine4.0Tame Impala The Slow Rush4.0The Men Mercy4.0The only album of The Men's I don't love is Devil Music and that even has its moments. I thought Drift and the few before that were awesome, and this album is a fuller continuation of Drift. I get frustrated at times like any other Men fan sometimes by a lack of consistency or what have you. Yet, I've found the best way to jam The Men is just blast them and ride whatever wave they want to take you on. They're a very simplistic, yet enigmatic band simultaneously, and I've always appreciated that about them. This is one of their stronger albums in years and I love that they're still mixing alt-country with post-rock with punk/hardcore touches mixed in with a decent psychedelic helping. The Men rawk. Destroyer Have We Met4.0A couple spins through and I'm just again in love. Bejar just pumps out the goods always. Can't wait to spend a lot more time with Have We Met. Has a little bit of Ken DNA, but not as much as I thought it would. Kind of a darker, distant cousin of Kaputt, but that's just a comparison for comparison's sake. Has traces of what Your Blues originated as 16 years ago too, but far less Vaudevillian. This could very easily climb from a 4, but I'll let her nest in my brain for awhile.Wolf Parade Thin Mind4.0...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead X: The Godless Void and Other Stories4.02019 Beck Hyperspace3.5Bonnie 'Prince' Billy I Made a Place4.0Kanye West Jesus Is King4.0Big Thief Two Hands4.0Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Ghosteen4.0Wilco Ode to Joy4.5DIIV Deceiver4.0Devendra Banhart Ma4.0Lana Del Rey Norman Fucking Rockwell!4.0Tool Fear Inoculum4.0Osees Face Stabber4.0Bon Iver i,i4.0Ty Segall First Taste3.5The Flaming Lips King's Mouth4.5Purple Mountains Purple Mountains4.0The Black Keys Let's Rock4.0The Raconteurs Help Us Stranger3.5Bill Callahan Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest5.0Just like that, this has become my album of the yearBad Books III4.0The National I Am Easy to Find3.0Tyler, the Creator IGOR4.0Mac DeMarco Here Comes the Cowboy4.5Vampire Weekend Father Of The Bride4.0Big Thief U.F.O.F.4.0Jeff Tweedy Warmer4.0Weezer The Black Album4.0Panda Bear Buoys4.0Cass McCombs Tip of the Sphere4.0Weezer The Teal Album3.5Deerhunter Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?3.52018 Jeff Tweedy Warm4.0All Get Out No Bouquet4.0The first half is definitely a bit heavier/darker and what I thought the whole album was going to head towards. But the second half has some awesome, huge hooks that I dig. Another really solid offering from a really solid band. Moonface This One’s For The Dancer...4.0Cloud Nothings Last Building Burning4.0Album is heavy and awesome - now that I have this album, their last 4 on shuffle is an infinite treat. Band is a sneaky, awesome treat. Kurt Vile Bottle It In4.5I absolutely can't wait for this album. Somehow just found out about it yesterday and now I'm counting down the days. Phosphorescent C'est La Vie4.5Can't wait to spin this over the weekend. It may be a bit at odds with my jamming of the new mewithoutYou album, but it's going to be a great weekend of tunes leading up to Kurt Vile's new album next weekend. EDIT: Have spun it several times now and am in love. Such a lush, expansive set of songs. Nothing that will convert any naysayers (if there are any), but definitely an entry at this point in my top 10 (or 5) of 2018. mewithoutYou [Untitled]4.0Thrice Palms3.5Wild Nothing Indigo3.5Big Red Machine Big Red Machine4.0Interpol Marauder3.5mewithoutYou [untitled] e.p.4.0Animal Collective Tangerine Reef3.0Dirty Projectors Lamp Lit Prose4.0Gorillaz The Now Now4.0Nas NASIR4.0Father John Misty God's Favorite Customer4.0Kanye West ye3.5Parquet Courts Wide Awake4.0Courtney Barnett Tell Me How You Really Feel4.0Frog Eyes Violet Psalms4.0Arctic Monkeys Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino3.5Damien Jurado The Horizon Just Laughed4.0Just discovered this album's existence in my obsession with Father John Misty's newest work. The way J. Tillman crafts and exists almost always allows him complete autonomy in my musical forays when he releases something new. However, the heft and presence of Damien Jurado, and probably unfairly, a review of one of Jurado's newest Maraqopa trilogy albums by Tillman himself, allowed me to venture out and listen to this too. So delicate and beautiful, and I didn't really realize I needed DJ to lay off the psychadelic swell of his previous 3.5 albums, and just get back to basics. Can't wait for this to seep into my bones.

I'm definitely still coming around to Devil Music but I'm diggin what I'm hearing here. They just give no damns and I always appreciate their ignorance to expectations or normal music constraints.

Savage Thawing Dawn4.0Parquet Courts - one of the better indie/punk/psyche bands going these days, at least for my money. Not always as popular as I wish they were on this site, but that is what it is. This, the solo debut from co-singer/songwriter (but really the main one) of this NYC band, is really a wild ride. I for some reason went in with hesitance, and have been more than impressed. This is a ghostly, Americana ride, with prog explorations too. It's definitely more subdued than anything PC (or PQ) have done to this point, but it would still fit snugly into their varied, excellent discography just by their virtue of exploration. This is definitely recommended and here's to hoping Savage keeps releasing solo stuff on the side of his excellent main project. Wolf Parade Cry Cry Cry4.0I am pretty damn stoked to hear this. Loved EP4 and have high expectations for this. Surprised at the lack of rattention Wolf Parade gets around these parts. One of my favorite bands. rHoping for a review of this is in the works, though judging from the general reception of WP on Sputnik, I'm rdoubting this. If I find a minute, I may concoct a review myself.rReally good to have the boys back - this is a Wolf Parade album through and through and definitely more of a rthrow back to earlier (Apologies, somewhat At Mount Zoomer) sound. It still retains a meatier sound that Expo r86 and EP4 solidified. I never doubted for a second that this would be great considering the company rinvolved. While not mind blowing, it's mind blowing in the sense of how seamless and awesome it does rsound. It loses some of the knottiness that dragged Expo 86 down at times; trimming song lengths and rambitions is often the right formula for such a band who's tendencies lean towards the epic. rStill, some of their heaviest moments, musically and lyrically, rest here and it's an awesome return from a rband that never lost their groove, in my mind.

The Man Woodstock3.5Big Thief Capacity4.0Mac DeMarco This Old Dog4.5Feels too easy, and my early rating is more than likely, overzealous. But, this is more-or-less the Mac Demarco most of us have been waiting for. A very spacious, sad, spooky, warming, confusing, et al *most descriptors here* experience. An experience from a surface level *perhaps* snoozer of a musician. Calming slacker, island music still serves as the observing from too far away genre of what lead's the majority of Mac's tunes. There's an easy simplicity, still at play here - less frequently - that drives Mac's music at an ear glance. But, just like his previous works surprisingly demanded, "This Old Dog" begs of your time before writing it off as "boring" or "beach music". These lazy, recently created genre tags, only dissuade what your ears came here for: Mac makin' ya cry.

I've been an MMJ fan since the era between It Still Moves and Z, and have since watched one of my favorite bands hit on some serious peaks and valleys. I've, in recent years, been able to wrap my head around what they were attempting on Evil Urges and found Circuital to be at least a rebound after that divisive record. Essentially, I've watched an edgy band lose some of their distinct edge over the course of years and experimentation. The Waterfall was a vastly surprising return to form, in my opinion after not entirely loving JJ's debut solo record. This album came out of left field, as it as an oddly erotic, confrontational blend of psychedelia, funk, R&B, and a lot in between. Jim sounds back to a pivotal, mysterious point of view I haven't - really, honestly ever heard him sound like - and it's freaking awesome. I wish this album gained a bit more traction, because as a companion piece to The Waterfall, I think is a showcasing of a comeback happening before our eyes. Kevin Devine Instigator4.0Another more than solid, consistent effort from KD. It always bums me out that he can't gain much traction in the popularity department, even being so close with acts like Brand New and Manchester Orchestra. Some day he'll get the recognition he deserves I hope. In the meantime, I hope he keeps pumping out great albums.All Get Out Nobody Likes A Quitter4.0Bon Iver 22, A Million5.0Devendra Banhart Ape In Pink Marble4.0Merchandise A Corpse Wired For Sound3.5Cymbals Eat Guitars Pretty Years4.5This album is outstanding. They're now an easy 4 for 4 in my book as all 4 of their LP's are incredible. I was a bit worried when Wish was released as it was such a huge departure for them, but silly me; Cymbals Eat Guitars don't know how to fail. They are in desperate need of attention here and all over and you are probably in desperate need of a new favorite band. Well, my friend, here you have them. This may very well end up being their best album which is saying a lot considering how highly I regard their first 3, especially considering Lenses Alien is one of my all time favorites.

A very, very paced, relaxing listen, that flows with ease, as I'm sure Granduciel and co. intended (he continues with his affinity for spacey segues and interludes). One thing I was surprised about was the average track length; this is no complaint, just an observation. I remember having a similarly surprising feeling when popping "Wakin' On A Pretty Daze" into my iTunes some 8 or 9 months ago. Not that TWOD didn't have long tracks before, but this album has a 6 minute average track length; maybe a bit of a response to his buddy Kurt Vile's recent track length extension? Who knows, or cares; but funny. Great album though, I'm glad War on Drugs are expanding their small but excellent catalog.

It's cathartic and dark much like Embryonic, but much more like the morning wreckage and haze (much like the album cover depicts) that that album left in its wake. All in all, a slow ambient cruise through a trippy mixture of keyboards, spaceship sounds, basslines, and Wayne Coyne's melodic, falsetto. He even sounds a bit like Angus Andrews here a bit, and a few of these songs really do give me a Liars vibe, which is certainly a good thing.

Kevin Drew is slowly becoming one of my favorite voices in rock music, and this record only further solidifies his stellar work in Broken Social Scene. It can be argued that the first half of album (tracks 1-8) is definitely the stronger half, but really with the exception of "Big Love", I enjoy every track here thoroughly. This is definitely recommended and may see itself changing to a 4.5 if I keep up my torrid listening paceRogue Wave Asleep at Heaven's Gate4.0Animal Collective Strawberry Jam5.0Kanye West Graduation3.5Dirty Projectors Rise Above3.5Every Time I Die The Big Dirty3.5Liars Liars4.0Minus the Bear Planet of Ice4.5As Cities Burn Come Now Sleep4.0Animal Collective Peacebone4.5Portugal.

can be potentially justified for an album of 'Dongs of Sevotion' 's magnitude and weight, is the sequencing. I stress "potentially" because one of the strong consistencies that remains prevalent in Bill Callhan's songwriting is the utter disregard for classic tropes while still maintaining some semblance of want of comfort and predictability intact. The sequencing - the formerly mentioned possible only plot-hole in an otherwise perfectly created cinematic experience - again rests on Callahan's own unpredictable mind. I could ramble from this point forward with an excessive use of superlatives and trophies, but my own excited angst would defy this album's presence and purpose. An odd mix of everything Bill Callahan under the Smog moniker had attempted to this point, 'Dongs of Sevotion' sits as an astounding (astoundingly underrated) gem of Bill Callahan's entire discography that accumulated the sounds before it with a sharp prowess and curiosity while setting the tone for Callahan's still comforting, discomforting future that we are still commiserating alongside him with through.

It took me a few years, and admittedly with the aid of his solo billed 'Bill Callahan' records, I became this gradual fan. With that said, an album like 'Red Apple Falls' took more on the long side to grow. But just like what he was doing with Jeff Tweedy's transformation across the record sales with Wilco, Jim O'Rourke brought out greatness that already lied within Bill here first and foremost before the home-runs Callahan consistently knocked out of the park after this album. I love all Smog, before and after this, but this is nearly undoubtedly (sans a few distinct moments on 'A Doctor Came...') the moment where Smog(callahan) took off into his own unique, playbook of a musical future.
