Looks like it's going to be a great fall for hip-hop. I've been really looking forward to the new Big Boi album, and hopefully the A$AP Rocky, Lupe, and Kendirck Lamar albums are all good.
Usually good to wait a week or two until you read critic reviews of an album but in this case what is interesting is not so much the reviews but that the aggregate is almost the exact same as "Sigh no More" http://www.metacritic.com/person/mumford-sons If you are in the mood for Mumford it is good but it just feels bloating at this point. Not expecting the 3rd album to be any different either.
"Babel" is poised to outsell Justin Bieber in it's first week. Biggest album of the year so far, and the second most digital sales week EVER. Holy moly.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor have a new record coming out Oct 15th, their first in ten years. It's called "ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND!" and you can preorder it now.

I would probably put Lonerism at #2 on my albums of the year list behind Celebration Rock. I really hope they come here eventually, or at least play Coachella this year

Liking the new Anberlin album! Didn't realize they were due for another release as it seemed like they just put out a new album. This one wasn't just pushed through though and better vs last release.
Sometimes when a band says our new album is going to sound amazing you set yourself up for a disappointment. With these guys you can tell it will be amazing!
