Really like this Samia record which I had slept on until Bartees Strange dropped his cover today. “Pool” is an awesome song.
I was gonna wait until Kid Cudi dropped his album, but here's my top 15 for now: 1. Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher 2. Taylor Swift - folklore 3. The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form 4. Mac Miller - Circles 5. Jessie Reyez - Before Love Came to Kill Us 6. Stand Atlantic - Pink Elephant 7. Gorillaz - Song Machine Volume One: Strange Timez 8. Beabadoobee - Fake It Flowers 9. Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor 10. Charli XCX - How I'm Feeling Now 11. Childish Gambino - 3.15.20 12. Halsey - Manic 13. Knuckle Puck - 20/20 14. Machine Gun Kelly - Tickets to My Downfall 15. Sara Bareilles - More Love I would've included The Dangerous Summer, but I wanted to keep it to full lengths. Also honorable mentions to Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa and Haim.
both of them ended up being about equal levels of fine for me although I’m probably more likely to return to the Taylor album
Berninger album was suuuuch a snooze imo. Maybe I should listen to it more but I just don't want to at all haha
1. Hayley Williams- Petals for Armor 2. Phoebe Bridgers- Punisher 3. Spanish Love Songs- Brave Faces Everyone 4. Front Bottoms- In Sickness & In Flames 5. Touché Amore- Lament my top 5 is easy. The rest I still have to figure out

Damn I really need to revisit that Deftones album, I'm seeing it pop up on a lot of your lists. I listened once the day it came out but never went back to it.
Since there have been a lot of “honorable mentions” sections in here I may as well include the 5 I really tried to squeeze into this list Same - Plastic Western Andy Shauf - The Neon Skyline Polo G - THE GOAT Dides - Fresh Cut Flowers House & Home - Find Sense. Feel Love. Make Light.
Will put my list together soon. Wanna spend more time with Rico Nasty, Mandancing, and The Goalie’s Anxiety.
Subbing for later but for now all I'll say is that this year I gave up buying new albums. I need that money for my family now I have two little kids. I stuck with Spotify, and as a result: . I listened to way more albums (new and old) than any other year -- including full discography runs of classic bands etc . I did not love any albums from this year, at all. I don't think I know how to feel truly invested in an album that I can't hold in my hands. Alright first draft, probably as good as it'll get: 1. Run the Jewels: RTJ4 2. Jason Isbell: Reunions 3. The Weeknd: After Hours 4. The Killers: Imploding the Mirage 5. Taylor Swift: Folklore 6. Touche Amore: Lament 7. Spanish Love Songs: Brave Faces Everyone 8. Brian Fallon: Local Honey 9. The Avalanches: We Will Always Love You 10. I'm Glad It's You: Every Sun, Every Moon
