Although it has been quite some time since the last Shins release this is another great addition to their list of wonderful albums. Great songs and music well performed and produced.
Another set of great songs. Hard not to like such a talented singer songwriter who just gets better with age. Extra songs on deluxe edition are worth the "upgrade".

Sting strips back some of the "excesses" of his most recent releases. If you like the Police and early Sting solo albums this is for you. Catchy songs and great musicianship.
Another wonderful display of the still "under the radar" Amos Lee's songwriting and singing skills. A lot of slower songs but some great more uptempo songs such as the gospel tinged Running out of Time. Best Buy edition contains bonus tracks!
Kings of Leon quickly went from being one of the biggest bands in the world to "last year's thing". This album shows they still have the ability to make great rock music. Perhaps not quite as good as their early releases but still worth owning.
Dan Auerbach never sits still. Although he is best known for his work with the Black Keys he shows off some great songwriting and singing/musicianship in this side project. This really grew on me with repeated listens.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals — the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer — star in this film-noir inspired horror story.
