Rise Against - Endgame
Just a truly fantastic album, possibly their best so far, which I'm aware is a bold claim.

Taking Back Sunday - Taking Back Sunday
A triumphant return for TBS, reflective of a more world weary, gritty and haggard angst, as if indignant that girls are STILL capable of such things! Joking apart, while no competitor to the TBS of yesteryear, still an enjoyable listen.
