Miranda LambertThe Weight of These Wings

Twenty-four songs across two discs: 'The Nerve' and 'The Heart.' Rawer and more urgent than Platinum, with pop sheen stripped away in favor of fuzzed-out guitar leads and a scuzzier vibe. 'Vice' toes the line between country and pop. 'Tin Man' is a devastatingly effective stripped-down ballad: 'Take it from me, darlin', you don't want a heart.' Won ACM Album of the Year. Lambert's fifth consecutive.
