after listening to the new records from The Weeknd, Holy Ghost!, and Chvrches, I'm fairly certain Chvrches is going to get my vote in a highly competitive month (although I'm not officially voting yet). The new NIN is really great, but this Chvrches is the best synthpop record I've heard in a long while (M83 and Cut Copy have company). Probably gonna end up being in the top 5-10 albums of the year for me.
Triple post to reflect on what an incredibly deep release week this past Tuesday was. Great new releases from NIN, Neko Case, and Volcano Choir, and quality new releases from Richard Buckner, Okkervil River, and King Khan & the Shrines (and I still have yet to listen to Holograms, The Julie Ruin, Califone, Over the Rhine, and Jonathan Rado).

Glad I was laying low on new music the last few weeks. Feeling refreshed.
I will. I'll download it for free from some public torrent tracker (no way am I wasting any of my ? ratio on it). Then, I'll breeze through it, growing increasingly more irritated as good-to-great production is wasted on Drake's "ripped-from-the-pages-of-a-15-yar-old's-poetry-binder" "rhymes." I'll get incensed when there's a banger of a beat from Just Blaze on the album which features Drake whining about how his girl is wearing the maroon lipstick when fuscia is really more her color, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I'll become despondent that this shallow, corny attempt at expressing emotion through song is seen as valuable by anyone. Finally, I'll delete the album from my hard drive so that it doesn't pollute the rest of my collection. The last thing I need is for Dr. Dre and the Drive-By Truckers to suddenly start making wimpy, soulless, awful music. I'll go put on The Chronic and suddenly "F*ck wit Dre Day" isn't an immolation of hated rival Eazy-E, but through the Transitive Poperty of Suck has morphed into a paean to how Dre's girl looks in the morning when she first wakes up and how her hair look so good up in that twist and awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww you know who showed you how to do those braids girl.

I think this might be the most diverse month of voting that we've had.
Speaking of late votes, just realized I didn't vote in May. At the time, it would have been Daft Punk, but right now, it might be Vsmpire Weekend. Took a while, but I am enjoying the shiz out of that album right now!!! So far in September, Volcano Choir is above Arctic Monkeys by a hair, I don't think NIN will get my vote, tho its still pretty great. Holding off on Janelle Monae until its official release, and the Sadie's may have a strong pull if it's anything along the lines Dark Circles was. What else should I be looking for this month?

Gonna say I should get an exemption for posting it in the wrong topic on time >___>
The first half of Right Thoughts sounds like they are trying to recapture both the energy and sound of their first album, which, while a good album, will be a decade old in a scant few months. The intervening records have been, to my ears, largely dull and uninspired, and the latter half of Right Thoughts feels like it's more derived from You Could Have It So Much Better and Tonight - no punch, no charm, no sass. It's an inconsistent record by an inconsistent band who have really never shown an inclination towards evolving their sound. It's like they've had an 8 year, 3 album long sophomore slump.
Lately, I've been thinking and wishing for an album to come along that is a smash hit. An album that everybody, from people with the most discerning of tastes, to critics, to teenagers, to casual radio listeners, would all agree on. It seems it is becoming harder and harder these days for a record to be an unifying statement, and chances are slim that it will happen. But, when I woke this morning, the word Reflektor was racing through my mind. What if Arcade Fire pulls it off next month? I'm crossing my fingers.
