9. "Tamer Animals" by Other Lives






If the second half of this album could keep the brilliance of the first half going, this would be my album of the year.  So many amazing things happen in that first handful of songs.  The latter half, while still interesting, feels more like a lesser band impersonating the first half.  But make no mistake, when this album is good, it is frighteningly so...magical even.  Other Lives are now on my bands to watch list.  Hopefully this is only the beginning and they someday get the chance to fully realize their potential.
