Alright rock fans, let's get our annual thread started.

I'm really digging:

Real Estate "Atlas"
War on Drugs "Lost in the Dream"

Toddnkaya: The sonics are really excellent. The seasoned session players are there out of respect for his talent. I'm glad you like it!
Slaw, I don't like it/ him , I love this man's music and this album, and also Break Mirrors!! I have watched most everything on you tube, read most reviews etc. I have listened to his music every day since you recommended his album.
I would call him a guitar virtuoso of the highest order.
Eric Clapton called him the last guitarist that he thought was really phenomenal !
Producer Don Was says he is a musician that comes along once in a generation . I have to agree! His singing and song writing has reached a really mature state with this flawless album.
If you like singer song writers, you all should should listen to Heigh Ho, it is a masterpiece !! IMHO , and the sound quality is stellar too!
Thanks again Slaw!
Have not heard it yet but this one has my eye from what I read and having been familiar with the band and work specifically for many years.

It's all instrumental, just nice music written composed and performed by talented musicians. All around good stuff. I think even Schubert would find nothing objectionable about this one. :^).
