There has been a wealth of superb music released in 2016, but much of that has been from artists like Leonard Cohen and Bon Iver, who aren't exactly known for making "upbeat" albums. Listen to this, like I am, tonight, and remember the wonderful times you've had in 2016, and anticipate the magnificent year to come. Full Review »
