THE WEEKND - ECHOES OF SILENCE [download]

This is truly R&B at its finest. With one of the most exciting male R&B voices in ages, Abel Tesfaye is a master of mood and manages to transport us to the cramped, smoky nightclubs of his world in a way that is both intelligent and rewarding.~

BLACK KEYS - RUN RIGHT BACK [download]

Somehow the Black Keys have manged to produce fresh and exciting material without changing their base formula. They're still the same rock/blues hybrid that we all know and love, with just a little more rock added in this time around.

CHERUB - LOVE YOU RIGHT [download]

Hot as hell
Back on the road
With all the windows down
Lettin all the smoke and heat
Clear out
Take us back home
I want another round
So I can love you right

AVICII - LEVELS [download]

When a song gives you chills.

GHOST BEACH - FIRST TIME [download]

I just love me some soulful electronic pop.

BEST NEW MUSIC TUESDAY OF THE YEAR!

The Roots

Chevelle

The Black Keys

Need I say more. I have listened to each album all the way through at least once so far. Every album is top notch from first song to the last. I honestly have never seen such a quality week of releases in a long time, if ever. Make sure to check out iTunes, Best Buy, wherever you buy music asap. It'll be worth it, I guarantee it.
