Speaking for myself, I tend to comment a bit late on these, cause I try hard to have my nose buried in Craigslist so I don't miss any good opportunities, and my computer's not a fan of having several tabs open if videos are going. But, I do try to make time when I can, usually I find at least one thing I like I might not have heard.
Really liked Eleventyseven, brings me back to late 90s/early 2000s, when bands like Newfound Glory, Blink 182, Sum 41 etc. were my favorites. Also, Myspace. Y'know, as dead as it is now, apparently that's how Macklemore and Ryan Lewis met, and Black Dahlia Murder have said it helped them a lot, so it at least did some good for music.
Really liked the "Stand By Me" cover as well. "City Boy" was great, too, very thrashy, but melodic. "Take the Risk" was awesome as well.
Good picks today, lots of melody and intensity.
