Album: m b v Artist: My Bloody Valentine Label: Self-released Grade: B+ My Bloody Valentine's landmark achievement, 1991's Loveless, is full of stunning moments from its mind-altering opener, "Only Shallow," to the guitar-distorted fantasy of "Soon." However, there's a particularly stunning moment in the middle of it all where vocalists Bilinda Butcher and Kevin Shield sing on "When You Sleep." "When I look at you/I don't know what's real," they sing. How can they be so self-aware?

Big Sean- Detroit This year proved to be another monumental one for rapper Big Sean. After dropping his debut album, Finally Famous, in 2011 and gaining enormous buzz because of his label, the ground was firmly set for Big Sean to drop his 2012 mixtape, Detroit. Big Sean released three tracks from the mixtape before its release, the most notable being "RWT." Although Big Sean's first major track, 2007's "Getcha Some," held the same context as "RWT," the surge in lyrical talent from the 19-year-old rookie who still hadn't found his niche to the confident 24-year-old man we hear today is undeniable. "Everything I rock, I designed it/realer n***a, won't find it/ OK, I be stackin' that cheddar, bet that s**t won't expire/Got me ballin' so hard, I need me Jerry Maguire," Sean raps. The boisterousness in tracks like "RWT," "Mula," featuring French Montana, and "Higher," wasn't the only method heard on Detroit.
