Savages - Silence Yourself (2013)

This is a weird one because I only dislike one thing about the album, but it's so big that it makes it really hard to enjoy everything else. I can't stand the vocals, it sounds like a really bad Geddy Lee, and I actually don't mind his vocal style, but I just don't like it here. I've always found bass heavy post-punk works better with deeper voices and the juxtaposition between the melody and vocals is so jarring that I just can't get into the music.

If you're starved for new post-punk that really does sound like it stepped out of a time capsule from 1979 then this album will provide the melodies, but I can't guarantee you won't run into the same problem as me with the vocals.
