I'm not usually a big Guitar Solo guy, but that little piece on Carin is pretty wrecking. |

There's a live EP that comes with the Japanese version of Sleep Well Beast that's really, really good. 1. Wasp Nest 2. Bloodbuzz, OH 3. Brainy 4. Exile/Villify 5. Sea of Love |

The last two albums bored me to tears but this one really has its hooks in me. |

I def. need to revisit High Violet and Trouble. I didn't really give them a fair shake TBH. |

They are all just wonderful. And maybe I'll feel the same with Sleep Well Best after some more time, but as of now I'd only rank it ahead of the debut. |

to be fair, though, i don't have a running list of 2017 albums to rank it against. this is a decision based on SWEEEEEEET EMMOOOOOOOOTIONNNNN. |

I've barely bought any new music in 2017. So I guess this would be my favorite new album too. |

I love this album, definitely more than TWFM, probably more than High Violet (even if the highs on that album may be better than anything here), no way it touches Boxer. I do believe that the singles are the strongest tracks though (probably I'll Still Destroy You too). I really love Carin at the Liquor Store. Nobody Else Will Be There has grown immensely on me. I'm listening to it right now. I actually haven't listened to the album that much, I really need to be in the right mood for it, even more than their other albums. But when I am it's incredible. |

I could pick any of the first 6 as a favorite Guilty Party I'll Still Destroy You Carin at the Liquor Store The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness Day I Die Dark Side of the Gym Turtleneck Nobody Else Will Be There Empire Line Sleep Well Beast Walk it Back Born to Beg |
