Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 13, Trouble No More: Shining a bright light on an oft-ridiculed time of his career and making it a highlight seems to be a trick Dylan Inc seems to flourish with.

David Dondero - With Love: Pretty standard singer/songwriter tracks.

Do Make Say Think - Stubborn Persistent Illusions: Such a strong opening track!

Dion - Kickin' Child- The Lost Album: Glad this was found. Worth a listen.

Deerhoof - Mountain Moves: I always get confused by the myriad of Deer/Dear bands. I think this is my least favorite.

Death From Above - Outrage! Is Now: Would not have guessed this was DFA1979.

The Darkness - Pinewood Smile: You already know if you are going to like this.

Billy Corgan - Ogilala: Surprised this was slept on last year. Really solid.

Converge - The Dusk In Us: Forever challenging themselves into interesting directions.

Cocteau Twins - Treasure: I always assumed this was more electronic.

The Clientele - Music For The Age of Miracles: Underrated.

Circa Survive - The Amulet: Requires a lot of commitment.

Chonny and Clyde: Non-essential.

Burn - Do Or Die: I might like this better than their original output.

The Bronx - V: So glad they are back.

Carla Bonzulich - Evangelista: Weird enough that you want to revisit, but not sure how soon.

Bjork - Utopia: Longer that it needed to be.

Chuck Berry - Chuck: Not revelatory, but nice to have.

Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights: Solid follow-up.

American Standard - Wonderland: Great melodic hardcore from the late '80s.
