"This week&amp;#x27;s Glamour Hot List is a genre mashup, meaning there is something for everyone, including new albums by pop lifers New Kids on the Block (!!!), alt-rock auteurs Rilo Kiley, art-rapper Tyler, the Creator, and indie surfer-chic by newcomers Bleached. Decide what best complements your taste, per our hearts rating and Glam Tracks recommendations! Click each album cover below for a link to preview and/or make a purchase. Tune in... New Kids on the Block&amp;amp;#8212;10 OK, not bad, guys, and we&amp;#x27;re glad to see you back in action (By the way, did you know that they are headlining for 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men on a tour called&amp;amp;#8212;cough cough&amp;amp;#8212;The Package this summer?). So it makes sense that 10 comes out now. Now I know that they&amp;#x27;re making the kind of formulaic four-to-the-floor pop that any boy-band making a comeback is likely to make, but what else did you expect really? I prefer this album&amp;#x27;s lighter dance fare, such as single &amp;quot;We Own Tonight,&amp;quot; which is dense with moody atmospherics and sweet harmonies. Also, I never thought I&amp;#x27;d say this, but: more moody Duran Duran-esque ballads, puh-lease. If for nothing else, they give these guys a bit more dimension. Glam Tracks:&amp;quot;We Own Tonight,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Jealous (Blue),&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Back to Life&amp;quot; Our Rating: &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; Rilo Kiley&amp;amp;#8212;Rkives Ah, how nice it is to hear Jenny Lewis and the boys in their element again, if only for a collection of touched-up B-sides and rarities. Lewis&amp;#x27; crystalline twang colors these thoughtful character sketches about wayward lovers and forever stagnant friends shades of autumn leaves, while the boys lay on the melancholy extra-thick with bright-yet-sad guitar strumming and tuneful organ playing. Rkives will surely make you miss this band&amp;#x27;s more regular output, but this can definitely suffice in the meantime. Also, there is a bizarro Too $hort collaboration here that is not to be missed. Glam Tracks: &amp;quot;Let Me Back In,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Runnin&amp;#x27; Around,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;American Wife,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Well, You Left&amp;quot; Our Rating: &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; Tyler, the Creator&amp;amp;#8212;Wolf Hip-hop collective Odd Future&amp;#x27;s most shocking member 22-year-old Tyler, the Creator is still up to his old tricks on Wolf, his third album. And by that, I don&amp;#x27;t mean the deplorable stunt-songs about bodily dismemberment and the like (yikes). I mean his craftiness. The songs here run the gamut topically, from growing up as the odd one out among classmates to longing for his absent father. Sonically, Tyler&amp;#x27;s overall palette on Wolf remains as dark as his previous work, but this go-round is flavored with creative instrumentation nearly befitting a carnival experience. Though there&amp;#x27;s clearly a lot on (and in) Tyler&amp;#x27;s mind, he at least seems to be having a good time. Glam Tracks: &amp;quot;Domo23,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Answer,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Jamba,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Tamale&amp;quot; Our Rating: &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; Bleached&amp;amp;#8212;Ride Your Heart I love this record and all of its California feel-good energy that seems to practically burst through its seams like the summer&amp;#x27;s sun rays. Ride Your Heart is the debut LP from Los Angeles garage-pop trio Bleached, but they sound like total pros. There are countless acts before them who made brands of retro surf-pop from a more DIY approach. I like that sister vocalists Jennifer and Jessica Clavin and Jonathan Safley take things a step further and make the production super-clean. Those brilliant pop hooks aren&amp;#x27;t buried under excessive reverb and the instrumentation is bright, warm, and centered. This album makes me wanna re-bleach my hair and run around the beach for days! Glam Tracks: &amp;quot;Dead in Your Head,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Dreaming Without You,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Next Stop,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Waiting by the Telephone&amp;quot; Our Rating: &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; &amp;amp;hearts; Also out this week: Cold War Kids&amp;amp;#8212;Dear Miss Lonelyhearts; The Band Perry&amp;amp;#8212;Pioneer; The Besnard Lakes&amp;amp;#8212;Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO What did y&amp;#x27;all make of this week&amp;#x27;s album roundup?
