Fuzz - II (2015)
Totally rad, man. The best Black Sabbath album since 1972.

For me at least, these guys are one of those special groups that have a completely distinct sound (though not all of these are necessarily great bands). You just can't hear an Arctic Monkeys song and mistake them for one of their peers.

When the first song on your album is 'The View From The Afternoon', you're doing something right.

I'm not as much of a fan as I once was with their new albums, but this is still one of my favorite albums of the last ten years.

Lynch me for saying this, but AM really is their shittiest album. And Suck it & See teeters on good and bad. Humbug, I will say, is their best.

Ive never been bothered listening to a full Arctic Monkeys album. Knowing my taste, am I missing much?

Lately Ive been liking this quite a bit:

Shrines by Purity Ring

I remember liking this enough when it came out but never really came back to it much. Came back to it for no real reason a couple days ago and here I am again listening to it. Doubt id be able to stand it all the time, but for now, it's perfect.

Earthside - A Dream In Static (2015)

Atmospheric metal project several years in the making. Has a great mix of instrumental cuts and vocal ones with some absolute allstars (Daniel Tompkins from TesseracT, Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust, Bjorn Strid from Soilwork and Eric Zirlinger from Face The King). There's a helluva lot of variety here too, including post-rock, sludge, some huge orchestral cinematics and a fair dose of catchy modern prog. metal too. One of my favorites of the year so far!

Eh you probably wouldn't be all that crazy about them

Sparks (Peter Evans & Tom Blancarte) - Sparks

I totally forgot how gloriously insane this one is.

That's the one I got into them with. I like their previous two as well. The new one didn't grab me immediately like the others, even after a few spins. Gotta check it out again.
