10. "Dance Fever" by Florence + The Machine is not an album made for me but I still enjoyed it, although not as much as her previous albums, but again this is not an album intended for me.  9. "Entering Heaven Alive" by Jack White is his second album released this year and although it was a nice change of pace of the hard hitting first album it didn't have the same thematic through lines as the first one.  8.

As opposed to another album on this list, the inclusion of many instrumentals took you out of the experience of the album and made it feel like an incomplete collection of music. "Jaguar God" and "Asleep in the Deep" are the stand out tracks here. 9. "Yellow Coat" by Matt Costa This album was a light filler in the quiet parts of my month but never became more than that. I kept expecting to have the songs seep into my brain and become easy listening and catchy tunes but that never happened. It was disappointing to me knowing it could have been so...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures took me back to my college days in Huntington, West Virginia at Marshall University.
