Spomladanski meseci in zgodnji poletni dnevi so ponavadi deležni izida velikega števila glasbenih novosti. In tudi letos ni nič drugače. Konec marca smo naredili natančen pregled meseca aprila, danes pa smo pod drobnogled vzeli minuli mesec maj in pravkar potekajoč i mesec junij.
Število zanimivih glasbenih novosti je ogromno, že skorajda nepregledno. V mesecu maju so svoj nov studijski izdelek izdali brooklynski indie rockerji Vampire Weekend, njihovi sosedi Deerhunter in The National, najbolj pa odmevala izdaja nove plate znamenitega dua Daft Punk. Na svoj račun so prišli tudi ljubitelji glasbenih veteranov, saj so nov album izdali zasedba Primal Scream, Rod Stewart in kitarski virtuoz Joe Satriani.
Mesec junij je veliko bolj metalsko obarvan. Svoji novi studijski plati sta tako izdali kultni zasedbi Megadeth in Black Sabbath, na težkokategorniškem pultu pa jima konkurenco z novo plato delajo vedno odlični Queens of the Stone Age. Znotraj art in ambientalnih glasbenih tokov bodo na svoj račun prišli ljubitelji dua Boards Of Canada in zasedbe These New Puritans, Post-Rock privržence pa bo po komaj enem letu zopet razveselil nov album islandskih Sigur Rós. Svojo novo plato bodo izdali tudi nasledniki zasedbe Oasis, Beady Eye.
Žanrsko je spodnji pregled precej odprt, dotični avtorji pa so z žanri označeni zaradi lažjega pregleda in posledičnega izbora. Čeprav vas bodo povečini zanimale predvsem znane in vam ljube glasbene zvrsti, je priporočljivo na vsake toliko časa pokukati tudi h kakšnemu drugemu žanru oz. drugačni glasbeni liniji (širjenje obzorij...). Razporeditev albumov je kronološka, pri izbiri pa je poudarek na sodobnih glasbenih (rock) tokovih.
