2018 Favorite Albums (20-16)


Continuing my countdown of my favorite albums of 2018:

20. The Amazing - In Transit


This Swedish band continues to impress with their intricate sonic explorations. On their fifth record In Transit they bring more emotion and rawness to the proceedings, but still maintain their massive, oceanic sound.



19. Drake - Scorpion


Yes, it is overlong, stuffed with some filler, and is rather a mess. But what would Drake be without broadcasting everything about his life? He still maintains his undisputed reign over hip-hop, R&B, and pop.



18. SALES - forever & ever


There is something exquisitely sublime about this bedroom/dream pop record. The sleek, sparkling production draws you into SALES' atmospheric world.



17. Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears


I'm All Ears is this year's most gonzo pop record. What's more amazing is that these two women are only 19, and show so much originality and verve. It's going to be very exciting to see what they do in their career.



16. MGMT - Little Dark Age


Where MGMT finally stop hiding the hooks. Brilliant and much welcome return to form.
