Comment: While there isn’t much here, what there is is aces: Arcade Fire -of the four songs we’ve heard so far, two are breathtaking masterworks and two are also rans but my AF instinct says: this is a goodie. The Fall don’t have a consistent bone in their body and are the very definition of who the hell knows, still they have a New York residency in September so I am more excited than I might normally be. On a different week either could be most anticipated. However, the winner of the most anticipated album of the week is Julia Michaels, the top songwriter of the 2010s first album and it could be absolutely huge. The first single, “Issues” blew me away.
