My album of the year was folklore
Yep. It’s something I can just listen to over and over...which is a weird thing for a Hüsker Dü fan to admit to.
Couple of my favs so far this year
With you on Rival Consoles. Great album.
Was hoping this thread was due soon, have really struggled to find any new music this year. No gigs or meeting my music-minded friends has meant I've been listening to the same stuff all year.
New playlist is inbound.
With the year we've had, I've spent a lot more time listening to old favourites, so I've not bought as many albums as normal.
These are the three that have really taken hold of my brain.
Chromatics -Closer To Grey
Actress - Karma and Desire
NIN -Ghosts V: Together
Taylor’s releasing a sister album to folklore at midnight eastern. 😍

Oh, seeing as it's been bumped. Here's a bunch I thought of in addition to Working Men's Club. I could add another 10-15 but, leaving out my usual artistes* 🙂 Links included, in case anyone fancies sampling:

I've not got that many new albums this year. Of those I have got:
Pearl Jam's Gigaton has engaged me more than their last couple of albums. Nothing earth shattering, but I do like the Pearl Jam-meets-Talking Heads Dance of the Clairvoyants.
Jim White's Misfit's Jubilee and Emily Barker's A Dark Murmuration of Words both seem good and I've listened to them a decent amount.
Eels' Earth To Dora has yet to clearly distinguish itself from their other recent albums. Decent, but not yet caught my attention.
Mark Lanegan's Straight Songs of Sorrow hasn't clicked with me yet.
Fiona Apple's Fetch the Boltcutters seems pretty good but I've not really listened to it enough yet to have a firm grasp of it.
I didn't realise that Bob Mould had released another album, so it's now on my Christmas list. According to Amazon the new Fleet Foxes album isn't out on CD until February, so I'll probably wait until then to get it as I am old and like my physical artefacts.
1. Bob Vylan - We live here
2. Bob Vylan - We live here
3. Run the Jewels - RTJ4
4. Ghostpoet - I grow old but dare not fall asleep
5. then something else: Fontaines DC, Clipping, Flaming Lips maybe WMC after the top 4 the pickings get a little thinner. ...
IMHO.
