Released Sept 2013 |
Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You A
Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt B+
John Mayer - Paradise Valley C
Released Oct 2013 |
Neko Case and Pearl Jam are two of my favorites; but, until their latest releases I thought their best music was behind them. The Worse Things Get gives Furnace Room Lullaby a run for its money as the best album of her career. Lightning Bolt is not Pearl Jam's best, but it's their best album in over a decade.
John Mayer is an artist who has the potential to be one of the future greats. Yet, the bland Paradise Valley would suggest otherwise. Mayer is a brilliant dude with a tendency to do and say stupid sh*t - a perfect combo for making intriguing music. However, as he mellows out and settles into Americana/adult contemporary territory I hope he doesn't get all top forty cheesy on me.
