Album Sweep: April 26, 2014 - Part Two...






I'm back with the second half of this week's "album sweep", sampling the records making their way on to the Top 200 Albums sales chart in Billboard magazine this week. You can check out part one by clicking here, and as before I've included highlighted links to buy anything you see as well as some of the artists' other work when available...

Arriving at #67 is punk "supergroup" OFF!, which contains members of the Circle Jerks, Redd Kross, Burning Brides, and Hot Snakes, with their third album Wasted Years. It's the highest they've been yet...

James Durbin, who finished fourth on the "Scotty McCreery" season of American Idol, lands at #83 with his second full-length studio set Celebrate. His debut Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster made it to #36 in 2011, while an EP of his American Idol highlights went even higher at #31 that same year...


Singer/songwriter Eric Hutchinson arrives at #97 with his third major-label release Pure Fiction. His last, Moving Up Living Down, went to #29 in 2012...


British electronica artist SOHN enters at #104 with his first full-length effort, Tremors...


Norwegian "nu-disco" DJ and producer Todd Terje dances in at #120 with It's Album Time...


Michigan-based metalcore outfit For The Fallen Dreams score their third charting album at #162 with Heavy Hearts. It's their highest peak to date...


The cast of Glee are back at #194 with Glee: The Music: Season 5: Bash, an EP of  six songs from the episode...


The final entry at #199 comes from the Faint, an alt-rock group that counted Bright Eyes leader Conor Oberst as a member in a former incarnation, with their sixth album Doom Abuse. Their last set, Fasciinatiion, went to #46 in 2008...


That's all for the second half of the new bunch... out of these eight the two I would go for first are the SOHN and Eric Hutchinson albums...
