    How is nobody talking about the new Direct Hit! album? That record is so freaking good. That and the new Endless Mike and the Beagle Club (St. Paul, another insanely good album) are my picks for albums of the year so far. New Blink is a banger too.

    I really cannot believe Standards made only 1 staff or mod list. That's criminal. Here's my list: 1-3 are basically interchangeable, as are 4-5, and then 6-10.

    1. The Dirty Nil- Higher Power
    2. Into It Over It- Standards
    3. PUP- The Dream is Over
    4. Pinegrove- Cardinal
    5. The Hotelier- Goodness
    6. O'Brother- Endless Light
    7. Hands Like Houses- Dissonants
    8. Thrice- TBEITBN
    9. Hail the Sun- Culture Scars
    10- TIE: Saosin- Along the Shadow/ Gates- Parallel Lives/Diarrhea Planet- Turn to Gold

    The latter 3 could easily change out with everything from 6-10.

    standards is good but not amazing or anything
    like it's one of the better "chorus" records but like there's been so much good to come out this year, a lot more ridiculous misses than that

    Haven't put much thought into this at all so far as I wait until December. But I love the idea of already coming up with stuff because usually when December comes around I see everyone's lists and there's a ton of stuff I've never heard of. For example I'm going to listen to Pup since so many people put it in their lists. Here are the albums I've listened to a lot so far in 2016:

    Brian Fallon - Painkillers
    Cassino - Bottlenecker
    Run River North - Drinking From a Salt Pond
    Tokyo Police Club - Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness Part 1
    Gregory Alan Isakov - Colorado Symphony
    Kevin Devine - Live at St. Pancras Old Church

    Albums that are shit and were a huge letdown:
    M83
    Say Anything
    Bloc Party

    the earth is not a cold dead place.

    1. Car Seat Headrest- Teens of Denial
    2. The Hotelier- Goodness
    3. The 1975- I Like It When You Sleep...
    4. Chance the Rapper- Coloring Book
    5. Sioux Falls- Rot Forever
    6. Kanye West- The Life of Pablo
    7. Radiohead- A Moon Shaped Pool
    8. The Range- Potential
    9. dvsn- Sept 5th
    10. Daughter- Not to Disappear

    Just missed the cut:
    Explosions in the Sky- The Wilderness
    Mitski- Puberty 2
    David Bazan- Blanco
    Pinegrove- Cardinal
    James Blake- The Colour In Anything

    Blood Orange would be top 5 and it was released before July 1st but I didn't listen to it until July so I'm considering it Q3.

    Unfortunately, this probably isn't too accurate because I'm so behind on music right now. Still haven't listened to new St. Lucia, DIIV, The Joy Formidable, or Explosions In The Sky. I'll get to it eventually ha.

    For the rest of the year I'm really looking forward to the new Two Door Cinema Club album and maybe new Now, Now, The xx, or Paramore if they're out by the end of the year.

    The rivalry is back on

    My list is almost identical to the one I posted earlier, but

    1) Daughter - Not To Disappear
    2) James Blake - The Colour in Anything
    3) Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide To Earth
    4) St Lucia - Matter
    5) Aurora - All My Demons Treating Me As A Friend
    6) Highasakite - Camp Echo
    7) Chairlift - Moth
    8) White Lung - Paradise
    9) The 1975 - I like it when you sleep...
    10) Kings Kaleidoscope - Beyond Control

    The order is pretty fluid. I really enjoy all of them, but I doubt I've heard my AOTY yet.
