Include a ranking if you want.
I listened to 9 albums released in 2018. Frank Turner is easily the best. The top 4 albums here are solid, but the rest are fairly mediocre at best. Frank Turner's 2018 release is amongst his best material, though. So well in, Frank.
1. Frank Turner - Be More Kind
2. CHVRCHES - Love is Dead
3. The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships
4. The Wombats - Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life
5. Moose Blood - I Don't Think I Can Do This Anymore
6. The Struts - Young & Dangerous
7. Eminem - Kamikaze
8. Lily Allen - No Shame
9. The Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

Haven't listened enough albums this year to make a proper top 10. From what I've listened, I enjoyed the most The Coral and Spiritualized albums.

My album of the year:
Low - Double Negative
Strong, consistent albums:
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts
Beach House - 7
Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears
Not without flaws but still very enjoyable listens:
Pusha T - DAYTONA
Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD
Robyn - Honey
First Aid Kit - Ruins
Arctic Monkeys - TBH&C
Alexis Taylor - Beautiful Thing
Kanye West - Ye
Somewhat underwhelming:
Roosevelt - Young Romance
Belle & Sebastian - How to Solve Our Human Problems (Parts 1-3)
Manic Street Preachers - Resistance is Futile
Blossoms - Cool Like You
Not including experimental and techno releases as they're difficult to rank in comparison to pop & rock.

Must admit I don’t know much about the albums released this year and that I’ve mostly been listening to instrumental albums released, primarily because I’m lazy and can’t multitask so ambient/electronic music is relaxing when working or reading (I struggle to concentrate on anything outside of music when vocals are involved!).
Erland Cooper - Solan Goose
Jon Hopkins - Singulairty
Nils Frahm - All Melody
Ultraviolet - Kelly Moran
Beach House - 7
Leon Bridges - Good Thing
NIN - Bad Witch (a bit of some Blackstar influences going on here)

6. ye - Kanye West
7. Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves
8. Drogas Wave - Lupe Fiasco

Always love this time of the year but it also reminds me of the growing shift in how we digest albums. It’s sad to say but I definitely listen to more single tracks than full albums because of the ease of Spotify and the fact that so many bands make lackluster full lengths. I realize I am now part of this problem where as 10-12 years ago I was a huge album nut head.
My initial thoughts is I love the following releases. Not ready to rank or go further with 6 weeks left in 2018.
Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Sparkle Hard
Soccer Mommy - Clean
Rolling Blackouts Costal Fever - Hope Downs
Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts
Thom Yorke - Suspiria
Low - Double Negative
Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurt
Bill Ryder-Jones - Yawn
I’d probably come up with a better and bitching top songs list.

What flaws did you think DAYTONA had? Hard Piano imo. With the higher ranked albums I enjoy all the tracks when listening through them, even though some are of course more enjoyable than the others. |

I was wondering what folk thought of the album Negro Swan by Blood Orange? Never thought it would be my bag - especially seeing P Diddy as a guest on one song - but I was surprised at how taken with it I was after hearing a couple of tunes on the radio. Hit and miss for me personally but got quite a lot of lovely melodies mixed in with your usual RnB tropes. Seems to mix quite a few genres so something for everyone. Lennon2217, The Escapist, andybellwillring, given you’re choices thought you guys might enjoy it? |
