Let's talk album releases for May, 26th! Lil Yachty "Teenage Emotions" Yachty has been an enigma since releasing his debut mixtape Lil Boat.  He simply doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard and is obviously polarizing for that reason. Whether it's the name, or the hair, or the vocals whatever has turned you off of Lil Yachty isn't worth avoiding this album.

If you weren't excited for the new Phoenix album before, it's time to be. 4. "Hook, Line & Sinker" - Royal Blood If there is one thing you can give Royal Blood's eponymous 2014 debut album, it's that the singles were all fantastic, they look to keep this trend up. Hook Line & Sinker doesn't change up the bands formula or bring anything drastically new, but it doesn't have to. The formula has at least an album more before the staleness sets in and they know it. The song jams like it's 2017 (when rock music is going out of style). 3. "Adeline" - Alt-J Alt-J now have a trifecta of fantastic singles previewing a 3rd studio alb...
