Big Boi & Sleepy Brown, The Big Sleepover – I’m not crazy about either single, and Big Boi is always better as an Outkast
Imagine Dragons, Mercury – Act 1 – I’ve liked them ever since I caught em at MSG (here), liked not loved
Iron Maiden, Senjutsu – more UK heavy metal
LANY, gg bb xx – teen earnestness on their third album (which means they aren’t teens)
Little Simz, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert – UK rap star from the UK, she is one of the strongest grime stars and I bet huge things for the latest – MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Manic Street Preachers, The Ultra Vivid Lament – the last two albums were a little meh
Nils Frahm + F.S. Blumm, 2X1=4
Rudimental, Ground Control – when Rudimental first came out they seemed to be a shopping list of genre busting with the added plus of great featured singers (and the two times I’ve seen em live they were great), but now not so much
Van der Graaf Generator, The Charisma Years 1970-1978
