August's Top 10 Albums

It's time for August's top 10 albums. Staying abreast of the month's highlights may help casual readers catch up on what they missed and explore these artists. I am not writing brief summaries of them; I am simply linking to the reviews. Inclusion here does not mean that these albums have been released this month, but it is a list of new or upcoming albums I have enjoyed the most. I have albums in my inbox that are not coming out til October, so I am normally way ahead of the curve in this regard. They are ranked in order of what I have listened to the most. This month it ranges from death metal to surreal indie folk, so you may find your new favorite among them. Here are the Top 10 albums of August
