Music I purchased in the second quarter of 2012:

• Bear Vs Shark – Right Now, You’re in the Best of Hands
• Beecher – Breaking the Fourth Wall
• Bled, The – Heat Fetish
• Bullets and Octane – In the Mouth of the Young – Some good tunes, but not enough of them. It’s almost like they’re forcing it to work.
• Bush – Sea of Memories – Nice to see they’re back in action, but this is one I probably won’t return to often. Not that I regret getting it; my tastes have just moved on.
• Damned Things, The – Ironiclast
• Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
• Neon Trees – Habits – Seriously good.
• New Found Glory – Radiosurgery
• Mars Volta – Noctourniquet – I’m going to mourn for days if it turns out I never get to see these guys in concert.
• Melt Banana – Cell-Scape – I don’t know how a screaching Japanese chick works … but it does.
• Meshuggah – Kolos
• Much the Same – Survive
• TesseracT – One
• Viva Death – One Percent Panic – I’ve had two of their songs for years – always meaning to get a full album. And, now that I did, I wish that I didn’t.
• War of Ages – Eternal
• Warm in the Wake – American Prehistoric
• Wilhelm Scream, A – Career Suicide & Ruiner – I like the former a ton. The other is decent.
