Foo Fighters
"But Here We Are"
Roswell Records
A grief record unlike any other. Dave Grohl channels pain into anthems, and the result is one of the Foos most emotionally resonant albums.
"Rescued is an instant classic."

Tool
"Oddments"
Volcano
Tool's long-gestating follow-up to Fear Inoculum proves the wait was worth every second. Dense, crushing, and mathematically perfect.
"Carey's drumming alone is worth the price."
