THE MINUS 5
The Gun Album

Not a perfectly consistent album, as most albums that involve so much collaboration usually aren't, Minus 5 is filled with '60s pop charm, and some gritty '80s bar rock. While songs like "Original Luke" and "All Worn Out" are nothing special, "With a Gun" is chugs along with perfect melody and is easily one of the best songs released this year.

standout tracks: "With A Gun" and "Cemetary Row"
