Well, guess I knew all three albums that dropped today. I marked 10 albums out of rwlh's list when this topic went live and have been listening through them. Heaven or Las Vegas was one of those albums, and I listened to it on Sunday. And wow, I really loved it. The ethereal vocals and instrumentation is really beautiful throughout. I don't think there was a song I didn't enjoy in it. Frou-frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires is definitely the big standout though. Absolutely gorgeous song.

Djesse Vol. 3 is probably my second favorite album out of the entire list. Jacob Collier's unique take on music and complex harmony is just enthralling to me. There's so much going on in every track, and it's mixed so well, and I really love that. In Your Bones is pretty great, although my personal favorite is All I Need. Also worth mentioning my favorite moment in the album is the beautiful loop at the end of In Too Deep. I also feel that Jacob Collier in general is someone you need to listen to several times before connecting with his music. I recall not feeling much from his music when I first heard it several years ago, and over time it grew on me to the point of him probably being my favorite artist now.

American Idiot is another album I like a lot. It's one of the essential punk rock albums out there. It does drag a bit at points, but there's so many good songs that it's not a huge deal to me. Boulevard of Broken Dreams is one of the songs of all time, and deserves the top spot.

Sad to see these three drop here, but at least they're not low tier.
