Favorite Song: “Arms Like Teeth”

#9: Sleep On It – Overexposed
Favorite Song: “Autumn (I Wish I Was Better)

#8: Neck Deep – The Peace And The Panic

#7: The Maine – Lovely Little Lonely
Favorite Song: “Black Butterflies And Déjà vu”

#6: Seaway – Vacation
Favorite Song: “40 Over”

#5: Enter Shikari – The Spark
Enter Shikari are such a unique band and a lot of people are surprised when they learn I love them. Their new album The Spark is such a great combination of their older sound and new sound.
Favorite Song : “The Revolt Of The Atoms”.

#4: Ed Sheeran – Divide
As everyone knows, I adore Ed Sheeran and I actually saw him for the first time last month in Columbus but that’s beside the point. His new album is nothing short of perfect (pun intended since he has a song called perfect).
Favorite Song: “Castle On The Hill” but “Perfect” is definitely competition.

#3: Dayseeker – Dreaming is Sinking, Waking is Rising
Dayseeker never fails to impress me and even though I just started really listening to them this year, I really enjoyed this album.
Favorite Song: “Cold, Dark Winter”

#2: Silverstein – Dead Reflection
Well, let’s start out by saying I have listened to Silverstein since Discovering The Waterfront and this band holds a special place in my heart. They’ve been around for such a long time and still killing it! I have fallen in love with Dead Reflection and listen to it almost daily.
Favorite Song: “Retrograde”

#1: I The Mighty – Where The Mind Wants To Go/Where You Let It Go
Wow, okay, I don’t even know where to begin. I have been blown away by MANY albums this year but the clear winner is Where The Mind Wants To Go/Where You Let It Go . Honestly, I love every single song on this album but, I will admit some took me a few listens before liking them. This album has great variety and I found myself loving it more and more with every listen.
Favorite Song: “Sleepwalker”
