I'm honestly curious if anyone can come up with a good answer to this, because last year I had to narrow down my top albums of the year list to 50, while this year nearly every new release I've heard has been a disappointment in one way or another.

Hell, the new Jesus And Mary Chain album came out and it's their first album in 20 years which on paper sounds like it should be incredibly my poo poo, but I'm listening to it now and it's just kind of...there. It's not wowing me or anything.

Bonobo (who I love) put out an album that did nothing for me aside from a couple tracks, and same goes for The Flaming Lips and The Shins and Real Estate and Thundercat. And that new Arcade Fire track ain't anything special.

At least there's new Gorillaz, Ride and Slowdive to look forward to.

I've noticed a trend for myself over the last year or so where the more amped I am for a disc, the more I'm usually disappointed by it at release. Then I jam it a few months later and wind up loving it.
