My Head is an Animal by Of Monsters and Men: 6.4/10
By contemporary standards, this is a fine album and deserves credit both musically and lyrically in a vast wasteland of auto tuning + vapid and superficial lyrics about dancing and partying. However, it cannot be ignored that this album drags and a lot of the songs have an AC/DC quality of sounding similar or just run too long. The standout tracks are 1,3,6,8 in my opinion. They're mostly the singles, so it was a wise decision to put their best feet forward into the mainstream. One of the better albums of 2012 but must be listened to only on occasion in its entirety, otherwise the droning of some songs or the sameness taint it after consecutive repeated listens.
