Your Old Droog really taps into the spirit of 80s and 90s East Coast hip-hop, and it would be understandable to compare him to someone like Nas because of it, but Droog separates himself, especially with this album. Droog has a similar feel, or at least voice, to MF Doom, and his music is well done with clever, biting lyrics. It's just an overall good quality hip-hop album with a wide variety of samples that keeps it interesting.

If "Humanz" is anything, it's inconsistent. It's a somewhat bloated album that features a ton of different artists, from Danny Brown, to Vince Staples, to Pusha T, and it has a lot of good to it, but also some tracks that are relatively mediocre. Thankfully, the good outweighs the bad, and perhaps my expectations were too high, perhaps I wanted this to be "Plastic Beach" all over again, but "Humanz" is solid without leaving a serious lasting impression. The music is pretty standard Gorillaz music, which is somewhat disappointing in that I expect a lot more innovative stuff from Damon Albarn. That being said, what Albarn does on this album is definitely good, and the featured artists on the album all hold their own quite well.

Stephin Merritt has been doing music with The Magnetic Fields for a long time, over 30 years in fact, and 50 Song Memoir shows that he's still got it. This is an ambitious piece, but so was 69 Love Songs, and he did that very well. This is an autobiographical piece for Merritt and it's honestly only something he could write. It's very open and honest, well-written lyrically and musically. If you got through 69 Love Songs and liked it, you'll enjoy this.

Psych rock often blends blues and psychedelic elements into one thing. All Them Witches do that, but they prescribe to neither traditional blues nor traditional psychedelia. This isn't your standard blues music, rather it's blues that's covered in anxiety and fear. And this isn't traditional psychedelia that aims to take you to another world, rather it's rooted in reality and exhilarating. This album can be a bit of a slow burn, but it's one well worth trying out, as it's a rewarding experience.

Wear Your Wounds build an emotionally evocative, heavy album that ebbs and flows well between big and small, loud and quiet, making it an album that effectively displays both rage and pain. The album never comes off to cliched or anything, and the lyrics are fairly well-written as well. Overall it's an interesting listen and a metal album that definitely stands out.

Woe To The Vanquished is nothing new in the world of thrash metal. It comes in on the wave of retro-thrash that throws back the genre's heyday of the 80s and 90s, but just because it isn't new doesn't mean it isn't good. Warbringer come at this album with speed and with force, it's an album that kicks off in a high gear and keeps it running til it's done. The songs are tight, they're made well, and it's an overall enjoyable thrash album.

"Semper Femina" is an album about women, by a woman. There's nothing about men on this album, though not to say it attacks men or anything, they're just not here. Laura Marling has always been a strong songwriter and has consistently put out solid folk albums, and "Semper Femina" is yet another good album from her. This is an elegant, intimate, complex album, and is more proof that Laura Marling is one of the better folk musicians out there.

Nightmare Logic kicks off in a rage and never stops. It's a constantly powering forward metal album that doesn't play games or have any illusions as to what it is. The album is full of anger, both musically and lyrically, and it's a fun album. The instrumentation is really solid, it rarely gets boring as it's well-balanced, and the guitar-work is especially awesome. This is just a fun, straightforward metal album that falls somewhere in between thrash, hardcore, and punk.
