Gospel - The Loser: Glad I checked out the whole album even if some of it falls flat

Jayne County - Wayne County At The Trucks: Another gem from the depths of rock history

Joyce Manor - 40 Oz. to Fresno: A seventeen minute LP

Lobster Fight - Sun Soaking: An exhilarating disconnect between vocals and music

Max Creeps - Nein: The schtick detracts from an otherwise decent punk album

Silent Drive - Fairhaven: Feels like they put everything they had into it

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II: The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music: I mean, this is really good

Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist: The mix is a little muddy and the songs a little samey

Smashing Pumpkins - CYR: Bloated and overwrought but still great

Regina Spektor - Home, Before And After: Soothing

Static Dress - Rouge Carpet Disaster: Very reminiscent of early 2000s post-hardcore

Wilco - Cruel Country: Calming
