I concur, the new Disclosure album made me wonder why I ever liked the band. I've held them close to my heart. Saw them in 2013 when they played Coachella against RHCP (there were a handful of people there, so everyone had a great spot). I respect their desire to evolve, this however was a step towards safety, and away from creativity. 2 Step / Speed Garage, whatever, suffered from this the last two times (late 90's and again in 2005/06), a lack of evolution and a pivot towards pop (save for Burial, and other standouts that went dark and are timeless to me) This album is so bad, the star power cant save it. The up tempo tracks (what few there are) are sophomoric. How on earth there are so many positive reviews on ITunes makes me scratch my head.
The Bob Moses album. Wasn't familiar till this thread. Really liking it! I can't wait to listen to this in headphones. The blues elements remind me of what I like best about Darkside. Long tracks, really well produced. Like the sonic elements. My only critique is that it feels slightly one dimensional. Not looking for a massive variation and tone, just maybe another track with the same tempo as "Too Much is Never Enough" to provide some balance.

Patty Griffin's new album is outstanding. She incorporated more blues in the new one. "Living with Ghosts" is still one of my all-time favorite albums.

Currently torn between Bob Moses and CHVRCHES. Saw the latter last night (was amazing) and seeing the former this Thursday, so I'll be able to make an informed decision by Friday.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die- Harmlessness
Absolutely no contest for me this month and I really do love that Ought album. This album is pretty much perfect on every level, especially how dense the instrumentation is. Also lyrically it's hard to come by a better band than TWIABP at the moment. Amazing followup to their amazing debut
It was close between this, Kurt Vile, and The Libertines, though nothing really stood out to me this month. I used how much I liked the cover art as the deciding factor.
I haven't quite decided yet. But these are the ones I can't stop listening to. Steven A. Clark - Lonely Roller Ryan Adams - 1989 Big Grams Mac Miller - GO:OD AM The Dead Weather - Dodge and Burn Iron Maiden - Book of Souls
