12. Between the Buried and Me - Coma Ecliptic (Progressive Metal)
Not their heaviest album, but one that focuses on precision and great songwriting. For once we aren't bowled away by brutal riff after brutal riff; rather, breathing, original melodies are highlighted throughout.
11. Desaparecidos - Payola (Political Emo Punk)
Non-boring Conor Oberst. Shaking voices convey emotion. Better sound quality than the first.
10. Jeff Rosenstock - We Cool? (Poppy Punk Rock)
Catchy. Poppy. Experienced. Hilarious. Variety and excellence in every track.
9. New Design - Far From Home (Emo Rock)
Shout out to a great band from Brampton, ON, who deliver catchy melodies you'll feel like singing along to when you see them live with my band Riverbeds in 2016.
8. Citizen - Everybody is Going to Heaven (Grunge Revival)
Man are the 90s ever coming back. And it's awesome.
7. Galaxie - Zulu (Blues qui danse / mongole à la guitare)
Un bon mélange entre Tigre et Diesel et le vieux stock. Des grooves juste parfaits. Moins de solos remarquables, mais les riffs compensent.
6. Superheaven - Ours Is Chrome (Grunge Revival)
Man are the 90s ever coming back. And it's awesome.
5. mewithoutYou - Pale Horses (Post-Hardcore / Art Rock)
Shaking voices convey emotion. Beautiful, complex songwriting.
4. La Querelle - Home, A Beautiful Place to Get Lost (Emo / Post)
Shaking voices convey emotion. Great follow-up record from a great Montreal-area band that you should seriously check out. Bro love. <3
3. Make Do and Mend - Don't Be Long (Punk rock)
Straight up, heart-on-your-sleeve great punk rock. Rough voices and great guitar leads.
2. Delta Sleep - Twin Galaxies (Math)
This would be number one if I hadn't gotten into it only 4 days ago.
1. Pet Symmetry - Pets Hounds (Emo / Punk Rock)
Everything Evan Thomas Weiss (Into It. Over It., Their / They're / There) touches is gold. Beautiful lyrics, catchy melodies.
