OPINION

GREGORY, Circuit Judge:

The defendant, Barry Glen Thompson ("Thompson"), challenges the district court's revoking his supervised release and sentencing him to eighteen-months imprisonment. Thompson claims the district court's failure to explain its chosen sentence was plainly unreasonable. We agree, vacate Thompson's sentence, and remand for a new sentencing hearing.
