9. The Showdown - Back Breaker
Never headbanged so hard in my life.
8. Cold War Kids - Loyalty To Loyalty

I keep putting these guys on and just grooving at night.
7. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
7. MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Catchiest songs ever. When you hear a song and you are SURE it was a classic you've been hearing your whole life, you know the album is a winner.
6. Once Nothing - First Came the Law
6. Once Nothing - First Came the Law
Nothing beats stanky-ass southern hardcore with completely awesome breakdowns.
5. Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
5. Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs
Never cease to amaze me. This band is the musical equivalent of a cultured college town or a stroll through Chicago. Plus the singer is totally doing Zooey Deschanel. Lucky bastard.
4. Advent - Remove the Earth
4. Advent - Remove the Earth
Imagine a steamroller covered in spikes racing towards you doing 65. Yeah.
3. The Black Keys - Attack and Release
3. The Black Keys - Attack and Release
Masterful rock and roll that is all summer cruisin' and kick-ass gangster flick.
2. Murder By Death - Red of Tooth and Claw
2. Murder By Death - Red of Tooth and Claw
Johnny Cash vocals through the roof and dirty western twang. What's not to love?
1. La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
1. La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
Imagine everything that is good about every style of rock, from indie to pop to metal to spoken word to classical to everything in between. Now imagine you can hear it all compressed on one disc. This is it.
