32. Crawl Space by Tei Shi - B-

Mastodon delivers a solid, but not spectacular album as has becone their custom. Nelly's return was pretty lifeless. Chainsmokers get alot of heat, but I like 'em and this album had a surprising amount of lower-key songs without That chorus all their hits have. Tei Shi was a nice listen, good alternative pop, but didn't leave much of an impression.

35. Season High by Little Dragon - B

Short update this time as I am going to Vegas this week and probably won't listen to anything new until I'm back. "Missing Wires" and "Is It Binary?" are both really dope and get Soulwax so very close to that B+, but they just aren't there yet. Kendrick puts out his weakest effort yet. That's still pretty good by normal standards though. Songs like "Humble" , "DNA" and "xxx" are immediately inducted into his greatest hits lineup. Little Dragon starts well, lazes for a little while and then finishes strong. It was an easy B- until the last few songs brought it up. Also, Ed Sheeran gets the first grade bump of the year and into the prestigous A- territory. I've begun to really enjoy songs I initially found meh, and the songs I initially liked are just as good. That's the mark of a great album.

The new Gorillaz record is mostly impressive, and it is graded on a generous curve because Damon Albarn may be my all-time favorite pop musician, but it definitely does not have the impact and majesty of Demon Days and Plastic Beach. A few too many guests, to the point of dilution. (The band's mixed-media concept by its very nature has always invited a revolving, expanding-and-contracting quality, but it comes close to having no discernible center at certain points here.) A few too many interchangeable songs among the non-singles. A bit too much of a mix-tape vibe. Despite any modest disappointment with the record, I am super-pumped to see them live for the second time.

The new Mew album is terrific. A very consistent and undervalued band.

Vegas and moving kept me from new music for a little bit, but now I'm back with a great set. Incubus and Gorillaz both have strong comebacks, and Paramore's transition to pop has now resulted in two A's from me.

43. Reaching Into Eternity by Dragonforce - C

After ten years, Linkin Park has finally found a new style that works by going full pop. Which is surprising in itself, but even more so considering the lead single, "Heavy", isn't very good. But the first four and title tracks are all solid. It's nice to just have a showcase of Chester and Mike. Logic also makes a nice recovery from an underwhelming effort in 2016. He could have flirted with an A had it not been for all the spoken word rants at the end of his songs.

2. PTX Vol. 4 (The Classics) - A+ (I'm counting EP's too)
3. Fifty Shades Darker OST - B-
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 OST (Awesome Mix Vol. 2) - A
5. The Fate of the Furious OST - C
6. Beauty and the Beast OST - B

Check out the Harry Styles album, it's more Ryan Adams than Justin Timberlake

Flava'd, you might dig Outside (Briefly) by Froth or Different Days by the Charlatans.

49. hopeless fountain kingdom by Halsey - B+
50. Waitin On A Song by Dan Auerbach - A
51. Gone Now by Bleachers - C+

Dan Auerbach throws his name into the album of the year discussion with an excellent solo album. He's becoming more Dangermouse than Dangermouse, self producing the album and everything. The album is a mix between recent Black Keys, Beck and the Stones. Every different sound works and it gives the album a good amount of variety. Halsey's album is a step down from her incredible debut (my #4 album of 2015) , and surprisingly more melancholic given her success, but its still darn good. "100 Letters" and "Eyes Closed" are killer tracks.

Katy Perry certainly could have done much worse. The two mediocre singles do end up being among the weakest. Usually its the opposite. I'd still take one "Roar" or "Teenage Dream" over this whole album though. Lorde was gonna show her up anyways though. Terrific follow up and sets up the rest of her career, proving she can do it without the big singles. The album kept getting better as it went along too.

Royal Blood are still awesome. Cannot wait to see them live!! I hope they don't take the "too samey" critiques to heart. 1. Its not totally the same 2. If it aint broke no need to fix it 3. RB are only twenty songs deep right now, there's plenty of time for experimenting. This is 34 minutes of drum and bass shredding better than anyone out there.

Weather Diaries by Rides kick so much ass. What a glorious return.

Jason Isbell's album is very solid. I believe he has firmly cemented himself as a major player in the alternative-country/hip-Southern-rock realm. On the same shelf as his former band, the Drive-By Truckers.

This year is shaping up quite nicely. Vince Staples channels his inner Yeezus and delivers the best hip hop album of the year. Summertime was probably a bit better overall, but it also had alot of filler on it. Big Fish Theory has no filler as its fast and furious at 36 minutes.

Stapleton's album was pretty impressive too. I was on the fence about listening to it, but it ended up being better than his much heralded debut Traveller.

Me and the five other non-Sprint Tidal subscribers are currently listening to the new Jay-Z/Jay Z/JAY-Z album. ;) I dig it so far.

You had to sign up before June 26th (or be accessing it as a Sprint customer). Tidal outsmarted you! ;)

Luckily it came on apple a week later, as I'd have been salty about giving Tidal 12 bucks for that. A pretty mediocre set overall with Haim being especially disappointing. I hope that one grows on me. Their first is so good.

Thus far I had not been adding short EPs but these two artists warranted a listing. And they're both pretty good which helps. Dunkirk was just as good outside the theater as in which is pretty rare.
