Publication End Of The Year Lists 2018 • Page 11

here in the UK Kerrang Magazine has given Turnstile album of the year. As far as the NME goes since they stopped the print edition of the magazine the website has been mainly clickbait and reporting news from other websites.

 

Turnstile is nowhere near my AOTY but that's cool for them

 

Camila is weirdly high but otherwise some good stuff

Rolling Stone with the weird/boring list but managed to include FJM so they're okay.

 

Huh, that's a weird top five...

Some good country records on the list, though.

 

Imagine thinking Scorpion was one of the top 10 albums of the year, though. Yikes.

 

The 50 best albums of 2018

Haven’t looked yet, doubt it will be as weird as Quietus though.

 

RICO NASTY!!!!!!

 

Cool that Lotic is number 1

 

Out of all the fantastic pop music released this year, I just can’t get behind the Camila album being high on these lists. Same for Ye but with rap/hip hop.

 

I wasn’t a fan of the Camila album but then again any album that has Havana on it deserves a spot. Inside Out also.

Also I know I gushed about the Cardi album the first few days but really there are quite a few at best mediocre tracks on there. It should make lists but if you ask me it’s ranked way too high on some lists.

 

Havana was the only song I liked but still can’t justify its place on AOTY lists with one redeeming song. Maybe I just don’t get it haha.

 

If the album was just Havana 10 times plus a Vybz Kartel remix of Inside Out it’d be my album of the year lol

 

My favourite pop album isn't on most of the lists(Allie X) so there's a lot that I don't get

 

Allie X is so good, sad to see it missing.

 

Camila should make an album with the team behind the Bad Gyal album, that’d be crazy

 

I did not remember that I had listened to the Camila album until I looked at the tracklist. Yeah, no way in hell that album should be anywhere near a top 10.

 

Never would have guessed so many lists would place Soccer Mommy above Snail Mail. Seemed like the two had ridden a similar wave this year but Snail Mail had been praised just that bit more all along.

 

I prefer lush by a tiny bit but I am glad to see both of them on so many lists

 

The Best Experimental Albums of 2018 | Pitchfork

Not a bad list.

 

Camila is in my top 10 and I won't stand for the slander. Incredible debut that's super replayable.

 

I think every time she makes a regular pop song it's a missed opportunity. No shots.

 

Rolling Stone Country

40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2018 – Rolling Stone

I disagree with their list this year more than I usually do.

 

Agree to disagree, I’m sorry! I didn’t find any sort of replay value in it haha. Glad you enjoyed it though!

 

Love seeing Prine so high.
