01 :: Gaslight Anthem - American Slang - 5/5 02 :: Against Me! - White Crosses - 5/5 03 :: Lostprophets - The Betrayed - 4.8/5 04 :: Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality - 4.7/5 05 :: God is an Astronaut - Age of the Fifth Sun - 4.7/5 Worst: Minus the Bear - Omni - 2/5 Deftones - Rocket Skates - 2.5/5 Stone Temple Pilots - Self Titled - 1/5
The new Rosetta album is not their best. The Galilean Satellites is just such an amazing piece of work (as a whole). New Lostprophets has some major flaws with the writing, and I never really cared for them outside of "Sway" and "We are Godzilla..." but for some reason I have not been able to stop listening to the album. Specifically songs like "Where We Belong" and "Darkest Blue" ... I don't get it, either. Still, the difference in review is extremely miniscule and can change depending on my mood.
I haven't given Rosetta enough listen to compare it to the first album, but I really disliked the new Lostprophets :/. Wasn't toooo into God Is An Astronaut's new album, was a nice listen, but nothing too amazing. A bit like their last couple albums actually...

01. The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang 02. Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise 03. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis 04. Lostprophets - The Betrayed 05. Deftones - Diamond Eyes Only albums I've listened to in full so far this year.
No particular order Eminem - Recovery Holy Fuck - Latin Nada Surf - If I Had A Hi-Fi (Japanese Edition) Broken Bells - Broken Bells How To Destroy Angels - EP Vampire Weekend - Contra Angels & Airwaves - Love Ellie Goulding - Lights
I think that Drake came out with the most solid album thus far in '10. There's just so many different influences on each track. I was pleasantly suprised at how much he can change up his style!
How To Destroy Angels - EP David Choi - By Your Side Eminem - Recovery Bone Thugs-n-Harmony - Uni5: World's End Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Phantogram - Eyelid Movies B.o.B Presents: Adventures of Bobby Ray Dream - Love King Broken Bells - Broken Bells Drake - Thank Me Later More to come as I remember them.
