1. Greyhound – Swedish House Mafia – Untill Now is a better album than Untill One, even if it doesn't have "Miami To Ibiza" on it, and this is better than most dance because it is a very consistent sound explosion, justified by its own being – Grade: A-2.Over My Shoulder – Paul Banks – I missed the Interpol hype and see reason to begin here – Grade: C+
3. Get Free – Major Lazer – With the chick from Dirty Projectors – Grade: C
4. Wicked Games – The Weeknd – I missed the hype on this one as well, don't know how, but this is iffy electronic mood soul – Grade: C
5. Open Doors – And You Will Know Them By The Trail Of Their Dead – here's a first: a band name longer than the review – Grade: C
6. Ready Or Not – BridgittMendler – Oh, please, no. This is really bad modern pop – Grade: C-
7. We Don't Even Live Here – POS – Sorty of experimental indie rap plus electronics but not as interesting as that sounds – Grade: C+
