Paramore: Paramore

4 stars

The latest album from Paramore frays away from a specific sound and pursues many different genres in what is an excellent album from the alternative rock band. On this album you can find throwbacks, pop songs, a country song and even a ukulele interlude in an album which switches up its’s sound often, all while highlighting the vocals of lead singer Hayley Williams.

My Top 5 TracksNow, Still Into You, Ain’t It Fun, Hate To See Your Heart Break, Grow Up

Fall Out Boy: Save Rock and Roll

4 stars

The fifth album from alternative rock band Fall Out Boy features guest appearances from The Foxes, Big Sean, Courtney Love and Elton John while coming in at 11 tracks and just over 41 minutes. The band is still happy to experiment, mix things up and try new sounds five albums in and have released an excellent ambitious album this time around.

My Top 5 TracksThe Phoenix, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark, Alone Together, Save Rock and Roll, Young Volcanoes

Most Anticipated Albums Of 2013

With 2013 all wrapped up here at GoodMusicRadar.com as we continue to catch up to current day music here are the most anticipated albums and releases which I am currently looking forward to most for this upcoming year. Check out the list of anticipated albums set for possible release in 2013 below.

A$AP Rocky: Long Live A$AP Long Live A$AP was the studio debut album from rapper A$AP Rocky and was released on January 15th. In May of 2011 Rocky and his crew quit selling drugs in favor of starting a music career and having already shown the ability to make a notable mixtape, now is Rocky’s first shot at creating a notable album. The album already has hit single Goldie and F*ckin Problems. This album could see A$AP clearly breakthrough into the public eye with the rapper already securing a Grammy performance with Rihanna as well as opening up for her tour.

Devlin: A Moving Picture Devlin is one of the top British grime rappers and released his sophomore album on February 4th. The album has features from Ed Sheeran and Wretch 32 with this album being his first release where he has a large following. This album will show whether Devlin can progress and show why he has referred to by many as one of the U.K.’s top rappers.

Joe Budden: No Love Lost The third album from Slaughterhouse rapper Joe Budden was released on February 5th. The album continues to show Budden’s continued growing maturity as well as growth as an artist with the rapper gaining more of a spotlight due to Slaughterhouse.

Justin Timberlake: The 20/20 Experience One of my most anticipated albums of the year is Justin Timberlake’s long awaited third studio album which was released on March 15th. The album features the hit single Suit & Tie which has an appearance from Jay-Z.  The album from Timberlake follows up his 2006 album and has a soul/R&B feel to it from the triple threat.

Album and Mixtape Review Catchup: 9/2012-10/2012

Below will be the ratings for the albums, a brief writing on each album and the top five tracks from the album along with a link to download individual tracks from each album. To download individual tracks from each album click on the top five tracks from the album and to purchase the album click on the album title. The top tracks from each album are listed in order of how I ranked the best songs from the project.

Matchbox Twenty: North

3 stars

A strong three out of 5 stars for the first album in ten years from the Pop rock group Matchbox Twenty. The album has more of a pop sound from Rob Thomas than you may be used to from their past albums, but on songs like She’s So Mean and Parade they pull it off perfectly.

My Top 5 TracksShe’s So Mean, Parade, I Believe In Everything, I Will, OverJoyed

Two Door Cinema Club: Beacon

4 stars

A strong four stars out of five for the second album from this Irish indie rock trio. The album was released on August 31st and is an extremely consistent release from the band. Catchy harmonies, smooth melodies and harmonies set to kinetic beats are plentiful on Beacon which is a great release from this indie rock band.

My Top 5 TracksNext Year, Wake Up, Sun, Sleep Alone, The World Is Watching

Pet Shop Boys: Elysium

3 stars

The 11th studio album from English popsynth group the Pet Shop Boys gets three stars out of five on this light-hearted pop album. The album was released on September 5th and is yet another solid album from the duo.

My Top 5 TracksLeaving, Requiem In Denim and Leopardskin, Hold On, Invisible, Winner
