Is This the Life We Really Want?
Roger Waters
Ignore all controversies over the man and focus on the artwork. From an angry Brit ex-pat comes a symbol to the American condition. It's The Wall updated for a 21st century angst. This is the timely protest album you want.
DAMN.
Kendrick Lamar
I rarely have patience for rap/R&B, but this album caught my attention. Check out "Element", "Humble", and "Fear" now.
Heaven Upside Down
Marilyn Manson
Hyped as SAY10 and delayed for quite awhile, this album delivers with songs like "Saturnine" (read the lyrics) the pseudo-title track ("Say10"). "We Know Where You Fucking Live" shows Manson hasn't lost his anger.
Whiteout Conditions
The New Pornographers
Never really liked this band until I heard this album. "This is the World of the Theater" and "Second Sleep" are good starters. More like White House Conditions, am I right???
