Badlands Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 She’s good value is Cardi B with her guest spots and her internet patter, but that album was very weak for me. Not heard Money yet though. From the daily 20 mins I spend in the car with the OH, I noticed CB was getting a lot more play on the commercial radio stations as the year progressed. Wouldn't surprise me if she became a bigger deal over here with album 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Coombes - World's Strongest Man Big Red Machine - BRM Artic Monkeys - TBH&C Interpol - Marauder The Shins - The Worm's Heart Paul McCartney - Egypt Station Parquet Courts - Wide Awake! Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? Mastersystem - Mastersystem Kurt Vile - Bottle It In Villagers - The Art of Pretending to Swim Looking back at my list, these are all decent albums, but nothing for the ages.

ConorC Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Let's Eat Grandma way underrepresented in here. Denzel Curry too. Edit: Love that 'Everything Is Recorded' album too, came out so long ago that I thought it was a 2017 release though.

Tbf, album released at that time gets counted in with the next year, not as if you can really give it a fair shake against albums that've been out for nearly a year in some cases.

SwedgeAntilles Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I really need to spend a bit of time re-listening to a lot of albums I liked but played only a few times. For some reason this year I've had three or four on heavy rotation. Good few weeks to make up for it though and get my list together.

FloorFiller Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Agree that it's a month too early for this, especially with some of the albums we've still got coming this year, but I also don't like that people are making lists without me. ... I'll wait. Anderson. Paak and Kanye could end up running away with this (still holding out that Kanye hasn't totally lost it, possibly foolishly).

Mr.Tease Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I think this thread would be more useful if people also list their favourite albums of all time, so I know who to trust! At the moment we just have lists with no idea if the lister shares our taste in music. Edited November 6, 2018 by Mr.Tease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but I can get random lists of albums recommened by YouTube or whatever, it’s just nicer to know what someone’s personal tastes are like when they make recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a real, the point of these threads is really just to see what the eFests consensus on the best albums of the year are rather than to act as recommendations. If you read/post in the New Music 2018 thread you're more likely to get that. If an album is popping up in loads of lists that I haven't heard then I'll probably give it a listen, but if a Frank Turner album pops up in one person's list I ain't gonna listen to a Frank Turner album in 2018.

Ah! I mainly read/post in the old music thread, so I’m clueless with more recent music. I just thought I’d post a way to make it a bit more accessible (I do need to get up to speed with albums released the past few years, I’ve been neglecting new music!). I do usually just check out the albums that keep getting mentioned, but nothing’s particularly standing out, and there’s always the risk of missing out on a lesser heard one.

Wakey321 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 A few from me but have to say its hard to beat First Aid Kit - Ruins as my winner. Gaz Coombes - Worlds Strongest Man Idles - A joy as hard as resistance The Coral - Move Through The Dawn Johnny Marr - Call the Comet The Orielles - Silver Dollar Moment Shame - Songs of Praise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been the same but I decided to make a concerted effort this year to actually keep on top of new music and I'm so glad I have. So many great albums I've heard this year that I'd have totally missed in years gone by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate just listening to snippets of songs on YouTube etc- most of my favourite albums took weeks/months to get into, so I’m worried I’m missing out on stuff I would have grown to love.
