Eh I'm not very up-to-date with this year but I think it's safe for me to say that I like The Money Store by Death Grips the most so far.

This is a kinda down year for me in terms of listening to new albums...I think I can make a good 10 though for the midway point. No particular order though, too soon for that.

Suis La Lune - Riala
With this album they continue to prove they are one of the best modern emo bands around. They don't get too caught up in screaming and they are able to put together a hugely emotional, extremely powerful album.

You Blew It! - Grow Up, Dude
This album just shows how much fun a band can have playing music together, it sounds like it was made in just one take, it's raw yet intimate and inviting with fantastic vocals.

Madeline Ava - Still Gonna Be Fine
Exactly what I expected from her, it's awkward but so incredibly charming and sincere. Very simple, but the subtleties she includes are great to find.

Japandroids - Celebration Rock
It's just a fun album straight through. Up-tempo indie rock at its finest. This is an early frontrunner for my overall favorite of the year.

Ramshackle Glory - Who Are Your Friends
It's a little bit odder than Live The Dream but Pat's lyrics remain remarkable and the clips they use in their songs tell fascinating stories, with the music in the background acting almost like a dirge. Powerful.

Ghost Mice - All We Got Is Each Other
I've been waiting years for a new release from them and I wasn't disappointed. This is a very touching tribute to Chris' late best friend, his lyrics are as strong as ever.

Allo Darlin' - Europe
Much poppier overall than their first release, but it's a great improvement. Morris' lyrics have that great balance of insecurity and hopefulness and the instrumentation is upbeat and lively.

Joyce Manor - Of All The Things I Will Soon Grow Tired
Much shorter than their debut full length, but they pack a lot into a very short time. Just a great fun punk album, listen to it for 15 minutes and it will immediately lift your mood.

Alabama Shakes - Boys & Girls
I went into this not expecting to like this nearly as much as I did. Brittany Howard's voice is so strong and she sings with such passion and force. It reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin.

The Saddest Landscape - After The Lights
Another great album from this band. They have their sound completely figured out and can play it perfectly. The vocals are much more in control but they don't lose any of their emotion and fire.

Also some bonus EP's because I listened to a lot of those.

Mott Bonnott - Warm Fuzzies Vol. 1
The Wonder Years/Stay Ahead Of The Weather - Punk Is Dead. Get A Job
Pity Sex - Dark World
Elijah and the Lions - The Day Before EP
s / s / s - Beak & Claw

Stuff I still need to listen to.
Hop Along - Get Disowned
Joie De Vivre - We're All Better Than This
The Tallest Man On Earth - There's No Leaving Now
The Walkmen - Heaven

I already expect much rolling of eyes and comments that these are too mainstream, but this is what I listen to, so for what it's worth...

I haven't listened to all that many new albums this year, and some of those I have listened to have been good but not great, and some have been downright awful. All I can muster is a paltry top five, and here they are, make of them what you will.

5. Bruce Springsteen --- Wrecking ball (The Boss still has it!)

4. Hawkwind --- Onwards (almost half a century later, Hawkwind can still deliver the goods)

3. Fadeout --- To protect our way of living (Absolute find of the year)

2. Joseph Arthur --- Redemption City (A real candidate for album of the year, even at this midway point, but just beaten out by....)

1. Half Moon Run --- Dark eyes (Debut from a Canadian band you can expect to be hearing a lot more from!)
