Clearly ready to kick ass and take names in the new year, #JeffRosenstock's highly-energized new record #POST- is blaring with impassioned punk anthems aimed at current affairs, expressing serious pessimism but never bending to apathy. Score: 🎯🎯🎯🎯/5

The inseparable bookend to Vol 1, on #FromARoom: Vol 2 @ChrisStapleton digs into the archives of his own songbook and doubles down on the transcendent lone-wolf sound that helped start a country revolution in Nashville. Score: 🐺🐺🐺🐺/5 #minireview #ChisStapleton #DaveCobb

#BESTOF2017: (Honorable Mention) On #WizardBloodyWizard, #doommetal lords #ElectricWizard have once again given us a nice collection of songs about drugs, violence and murder. This time with a slightly more '70s vibe, but still embracing the doomy sound we all love. #minireview

Essential reading https://t.co/j4oyrW1VEh

On #WarAndLeisure, #Miguel lays out a seductive, psychedelic feast generously spiced with hot synths, blaring guitar and vocals that could cut through bone. Easily the sexiest album of 2017. Score: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 #minireview #WARXLEISURELA #newmusicfriday #newalbum #newmusic

[Mini Music Critic @MiniMusicCritic]

While #U2 still has a couple things to say and plenty pop-rinsed production on #SongsofExperience, their trademark "love will fix the world" attitude feels a bit naive in these times. Score: ✌️✌️✌️/5 #minireview #U2 #SongsofExperience #SongsofInnocence #newmusicfriday

[Mini Music Critic @MiniMusicCritic]

After 15 years of hiding, #posthardcore heroes #Glassjaw are back with their 3rd and heaviest LP ever. With face-melting insanity and high-speed musicianship, #MaterialControl proves their rightful place in the punk pantheon. Score: 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️/5 #minireview #hardcoremusic

The Final Interview with Sturgill Simpson, According to Sturgill Simpson https://t.co/0tcE1kkxPe via @noiseymusic

Jason Molina’s sparse renditions of #BlackSabbath’s “Solitude” and “Snowblin” are characteristically heartbreaking, revealing the veiled sadness that’s always existed behind Ozzy’s songwriting. Score: 🐏🐏🐏/5 #BlackFriday #jasonmolina #NewMusicFriday #minireview #RecordStoreDay

[Mini Music Critic @MiniMusicCritic]

Releasing his LP weeks after his brother @LiamGallagher, @NoelGallagher is clearly asking the two to be compared. While #AsYouWere is a better album, #WhoBuiltTheMoon is a more sonically dazzling feat. Combine them and youd have another Oasis classic. Score:🐦🐦🐦🐦/5 #minireview

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

I’m thankful for big dogs and small dogs, young dogs and old dogs, dogs with great floof, and dogs with no floof, dogs who protecc, dogs who attacc, and dogs who snacc, dogs with wheels and dogs who heel, dogs who save lives and dogs who high five... I’m thankful for dogs

Taking place on #Thanksgiving Day of 1976, #TheLastWaltz was the landmark farewell concert by #The Band, featuring Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Emmylou Harris and more. #nowplaying

[Mini Music Critic @MiniMusicCritic]

#ArloGuthrie's "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" is a Thanksgiving tradition. A tongue-in-cheek satire of '60s counterculture, the song inspired the 1969 film and remains Guthrie's signature tune. Listen here: https://t.co/acssHZyxjz #thanksgiving #nowplaying #alicesrestaurant
