The Rubinoos Back to the Drawing Board (RUBY WITH BLACK SPLATTER VINYL) 02/10/2017 and with a newfound sense

and with a newfound sense of social commentary on songs like "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" and the anti-homelessness single "Another Day in Paradise

and stands so far beyond the mainstream jazz of the day--in scope and execution--that it deserves its own category

and "Too Much" was nominated for Best Rock Song

with a mix of chugging guitars and synths that feels more organic and less like blatant '80s worship (and also bears a striking similarity to Julian Casablancas' solo album Phrazes for the Young)
