What is your absolute favorite album thus far this year across all genres and why?
Personally, mine would have to be Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy. It's insanely catchy and has great lyrics and came as both a surprise and relief to me when I checked it out. Plus it doesn't hurt that it has great replay value . Besides SRR, I'd to say either J.Cole's Born Sinner (HUGE surprise for me) or Notes From the Underground by Hollywood Undead (Which was a very solid effort from one of my favorite bands).
