I didn't even know the Japandroids put out a new album... Jack White has the best album this year for me so far.

I might have to check out this Killer Mike character as well.

Grimes - Visions has been my favorite album so far this year.

Jack White, Santigold, Usher, The Temper Trap and Joel Plaskett Emergency also released albums that I really like.

Cloud Nothings, Shearwater, Twin Atlantic, The Maccabees, Dry the River, Beach House.

Concert that would be worth checking out : We are the Augustines opening up for Band of Skulls.

Nothing really stands out too much this year..... I guess that Chill Bump band is kinda neat...

I saw that Paste list earlier this year and I don't think it is updated as most of the comments are from April. The comments usually have more good musical suggestions vs the artual articles. Going to check out the other two links though. Good time of year to search for some new music!!

Considering that it is more of an EP than an album sure I have listened to it and have songs off of it that I have been listening to since September 21, 2010. Not sure if you realize it but Younger Us is a very very old song. Much of the album comes off as old compared to the fresh music they put out 3-4 years ago. Album....er EP is too short imo. Continuous Thunder is about the only song that has made it from from i-Tunes over to my i-Pod. If you like the ablum....great.....it will be short lived.....less than 45 minutes in fact....

I have nothing of value to add but just wanted the thank the posters here. I've found more good music from this thread than any other source lately.

St. Vincent, "Grot"
A seething Annie Clark shines a light on her dark side, eschewing sweetly orchestrated pop for ghostly echoes, teeth-gnashing guitar distortion and a powerful growl that will scare your nightmares away.
