Nothing But The Beat

(Capitol)

Sounds Like: The Frenchie house and electroclash DJ’s newest collection is a lil’ watered down but packed with Top 40 stars and “hits” that’ll easily fill dancefloors.

Free Association: F*ck the Luda jam, marry Usher’s jawn, kill Nicki/Flo Rida’s track.

For Fans Of: Daft Punk, Afrojack x Carl Cox + Will.i.am, Jersey Shore, 3am and D.T.F.

Shelby Lynne

Revelation Road

(Everso)

Sounds Like: The 42-year-old unsung hero of Country has been recording since ’88 but now writes and produces it 100 percent; her 12th is typically sad, modest and beautiful.

Free Association: Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Kellie Pickler, y’all got homework.

For Fans Of: Bonnie Raitt, Tammy/Dolly/Patsy/Loretta x Sheryl Crow, humble talent.

MonstrO

(Vagrant)

Sounds Like: The loud debut of an Atlanta-based foursome with pedigrees including Torche, Danzig and Bloodsimple, they rock hard with rich styles and brut force.

Free Association: Psychedelics, metal and shoegaze show up—thinking man’s metal.

For Fans Of: Mastodon, Vision of Disorder x Zep, Metallica + Queen, stoner metal.
