Added, and September is now tied with August in number of butts on album covers...maybe (I have no idea what's happening on one of those covers).

The new Foo album is out on the 15th

The National AND LCD Soundsystem?

Man, I knew 2017 was holding out on us.

In for Ariel, LCD, Cut Copy, Godspeed! and The National.

In addition to American Dream getting stellar reviews, Mogwai's album is also sitting at an 84 currently.

(I love the incidental juxtaposition between their album covers)

New deerhoof on sept 8th (although they released it early on bandcamp)

New open mike eagle on sept 15th? I dunno if you guys are into much rap.

From early reviews, looks like Alvvays is underperforming, The National will be doing about as well as their other albums, while Neil Young and Mount Kimbie are doing well but only at 5 or 6 reviews. We'll see how more reviews change these numbers.

I'm happy to see The Horrors are starting off with strong reviews; I was afraid they were going to be a band that peaked near the beginning of their career and simply sputter out over time.
