Dishonorable Mentions 2017

Beck - Colors 
(Beck’s bright and bubbly pop album has got some great production, but lacks any real depth.  The single “Up All Night” really does sound like it could have been sung by Katy Perry without much being lost).  

At the Drive In - in • ter a • li • a
(At the Drive In’s return had me hopeful as they were one of my favorite bands in high school - but it’s completely unnecessary, disposable, and I truly wish it didn’t exist to taint the band’s otherwise solid discography).  

Freddie Gibbs - U Only Live 2wice

Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star - Shabazz Palaces 
Quasar vs. the Jelous Machines - Shabazz Palaces 
(if they cut these two albums to be like a 20 minute EP that'd be dope - soooooo much fluff) 

Homeboy Sandman - Veins

Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins 

Wolf Parade - Cry Cry Cry 

Arcade Fire - Everything Now 

Dirty Projectors - Dirty Projectors
