You won't hear a more exuberant album this year than Polysics' Now Is the Time! This decade, even. The Tokyo quartet takes Devo as a stylistic jump-off (the band's red jumpsuits and opaque black sunglasses are a dead giveaway), downs six espressos, force-feeds the rhythm section steroids, turns the volume up as high as it will go, and leaps, fists flying, out of your system.

There's a lot that American bands can learn from Japan's "coolest rock band," Guitar Wolf. For instance, the louder and faster you play, the better you sound; black shades and black leather jackets are, in fact, awesome; it doesn't really matter what you're singing, as long as it's sung like you effing mean it, and yelp or howl like a 1950s sex monster.
