@Bluecloud777 I'm in awe of your dedication to actually listen to all this new music every week. But more importantly, thank you for noting the music genres of these albums, as it's an amazing way for me to check out some artists I've never heard of, but generally love the genre.

Ditto.

Also because of your labels, I figured out that I really like art rock.

I was most excited for this one. I do like it a lot, but I haven't listened to it in one full sitting yet. I enjoyed their last one too. Don't get me wrong, I do prefer the live stuff. But their studio stuff is surprisingly great. And I could see this one having some crossover appeal.


I also am really enjoying the new Regina Spektor. I didn't pay much attention to her last record, but I loved all the ones before. This new one hits the spot.

I also forgot there was a new Soccer Mommy. I've kinda fallen off on her tbh. But I'll give it a shot.
 
Wolf Alice released their Lullaby versions of Blue Weekend songs EP yesterday. Blue Weekend was my favorite album of last year, and this works as a nice addition. The songs are basically acoustic renditions of five album tracks. There are some great differences on a couple of the songs. Turning How Can I Make It Ok? into a totally mellow song that still feels like a groove is interesting. But doing the simple ballad of No Hard Feelings to an even sparser song is a little unnecessary. Feeling Myself - one of the best deep cuts on the record - has a very different atmosphere as an acoustic song. It’s not a revelation as an EP or anything, but I like having these alt versions.

* Most anticipated for the month
 
Most disappointing:

Arcade Fire - We. Decent enough, but like, no staying power. And the more I listened to it the less I cared about it. It feels pretty uninspired.

Caroline - Caroline. I was kinda excited for this based on little bits of buzz I saw. But god I found the album to be so boring. I tried to get into it, to meet it on its own terms but I just didn’t care.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love. There seemed to be so much hype for this and then so much praise. But it’s such a long album with only pockets of good material. I found most songs to do nothing for me. But the ones that do still had things about them that irritated me. Like Aquatic Mouth Dance…stupid title and annoying lyrics but musically it’s like the best on the record.
