| Dirty Projectors Swing Lo Magellan | 4.5 |
Underneath all of the left-field weirdness of past Dirty Projectors records, there was
always a very strong sense of structural unity and cohesiveness. It implied that David
Longstreth was, first and foremost, a gifted and consistent songwriter. Swing Lo Magellan is
essentially what's underneath all of that left-field weirdness. A collection of
straightforward pop and folk tunes that illustrate Longstreth's proficiency as a songwriter
and his ear for infectious melody and harmony. The result is far more wonderful than the sum
of its parts. More unassuming than their back-catalog, but simultaneously stronger and more
listenable than all of them combined, and one of the best albums of 2012 so far. |

| Tom Waits Bad As Me | 4.5 |
| Tom Waits has nothing to prove; Bad as Me is proof of that. After five decades of the most consistently innovative music in America's roots catalog, you'd expect the sound of settling, and for the first time in regard to Waits, you'd be right in that prediction. Bad as Me IS the sound of settling, and let me tell you, it has never sounded so glorious. |

| Catchy, cheesy scream-a-long emotional hardcore made for live shows and those nights where punk rock is the only remedy. Nothing feels better than sincerity, and Touche Amore sincerely give a shit. |

| The Twilight Singers Dynamite Steps | 4.0 |
| Local Natives Gorilla Manor | 4.0 |
| The Antlers Burst Apart | 4.5 |
| Essentially the opposite of Hospice, except for their shared similarity of absolutely gorgeous music. Lax, peaceful, and uplifting, Burst Apart is easily the hardest album to really pin down all year. One could easily mistake its effortlessness for laziness. But those who are content with just sitting back and feeling out all the little subtleties and melodies will find an immensely, consistently rewarding album, just like Hospice. Not a disappointment in the slightest. |

| The Strokes Angles | 3.5 |
| The Human Abstract Digital Veil | 3.5 |
| I'm not familiar with their older stuff, but Digital Veil is a lot of fun. Most 'technical metalcore whatcha-ma-callit' strikes me as superfluous and gimmicky, and yes, Digital Veil can sometimes stumble and meander into this like a bad habit, but for the most part, the songs feel intentful, and the band seems to be on the verge of something quite unique and separate from their gimmicky peers. There aren't a lot of "memorable" moments, but the entire thing is generally a pleasure to listen to. The band is melodic, tight, and the classical influences are more than a gimmick, and are actually the bands strongest element. In general an impressive, promising album, if a little unfulfilling. There are parts that justify more than a 3.5, but serious flaws hinder it. |

A powerful statement, Fall Be Kind is the creative mixture of everything the band has ever done right along with a new found sense of maturity. The fact that the band had already released what many considered their defining album earlier this year makes this all the more impressive. |

However, Anaal Nathrakh manage to make some of the most intense, extreme music ever crafted while making it, well... listenable. through layers of distorted guitar assaults you will find atmospheric melodies and cleanly sung choruses throughout. Riffs are crushingly heavy, yet also varied and melodic. This is the soundtrack to the Armageddon. |

| one of the greatest rock albums of all time from the band that, in my opinion, defines alternative rock. Joey Santiago has one of those unmistakable guitar styles, and Black & Kim are one of the best and catchiest vocal duos ever. David's drumming is greatly unacknowledged. His precision and power provides a fantastic anchor for Francis' quirky, manic songwriting that combines just about every type of pop with the more abrasive, acidic forms of rock that were bubbling the late 80's underground. |

I am pleasantly surprised with this album.
I expected an incredibly brutal display of black metal with death metal influences. I had absolutely no idea that this was Marduk's most black metal release. Even then, this seperates itself from the thrones of black metal bands all doing the same sound nowadays. Its incredibly atmospheric, yet fast and brutal at the same time. |

| I just got this album recently and it is one of the better albums I have heard all year. It is heavy, fast, and melodic all at the same time. These guys know how to write a perfect riff and the drumming is fast as hell. The vocals are not everybodies cup of tea but I like them quite a bit. The one thing I do not like about the album is the bass is hardly noticable, and there is little to no variation... nevertheless splendid album. Will definitely pick up Miasma. |
