30Dan Deacon • Bromst
“Deacon is at the peak of his creative powers - a madcap genius striving to be taken seriously as both sound artist and traditional musician.” — Pop Headwound
-
29Sunset Rubdown • Dragonslayer
“Sunset Rubdown take the breakup record and imbue it with a little tongue in cheek, a little post-relationship pain, and more head-splitting riffs than should be humanly possible.” — We Listen For You
-
28Mos Def • The Ecstatic
“...a fired up MC clearly relishing twisting words to beats once again.” — Nialler9
-

-
26Camera Obscura • My Maudlin Career
“...top-quality, high-sheen indie pop, with plenty hooks, riffs, singalong choruses driven perfectly by Campbell's effortless vocals.” — The Daily Growl
-
24Japandroids • Post-Nothing
“Turn off your mind, turn up the volume, and enjoy. ” — I Rock Cleveland
-
23The Horrors • Primary Colours
“A visceral album which is at once reverential towards many great bands that came before (Joy Division, MBV, etc.) but always inspired enough to overcome its influences.” — Peripheral Visionaries
-
22The Avett Brothers • I and Love and You
“The album begins so calmly that if it weren't for the poignant lyrics giving you the feeling that deep below the pleasant tones there is an angst ready to spit fire, you might actually think you're in for a mellowing experience. Quite the contrary.” — melophobe
-
21Wilco • Wilco (The Album)
“...brims with confidence from a line up of musicians who clearly listen to and love all shades of rock and roll - and learn from it.” — The Night Owl Presents
