So here it is: another list of music. I’m not going to claim that these albums are the best albums of the year, but they’re pretty close (I just haven’t listened to Kanye yet).
Enjoy.

The Rocket Summer is a band that I always get excited about when a new album is released. I’m not sure if I’d put them in my top favorite bands, but I enjoy all of their albums almost equally. (I know he’s only one guy, so “them” is a misnomer). Anyway. Of Men and Angels is good. I wouldn’t say it’s great, but it’s good. It has some great songs though. “You Gotta Believe,” “Hills and Valleys,” and “Of Men and Angels” are some of the best songs Bryce has written. Of course along with this, there are some of his worst efforts. “Japanese Exchange Student” is no good, and “Tara, I’m Terrible”‘s title is not far off.
