# 1 The Wonder Years, 'No Closer to Heaven'

Release Date: September 4

Why We're Excited: The Wonder Years told Fuse that No Closer to Heaven is the release they're most proud of, saying they wouldn't put the thing out if they didn't completely love it. A quick listen to "Cardinals" makes it hard for us to disagree—this is the guys at their most dynamic. The LP's something of a concept album, closely documenting the loss of a loved one. If you're still looking for that one record that will carry you into the new year, look no further. —Maria Sherman
