Nothing Left to Love
Their best album; and that's quite an achievement, given how consistently great their whole discography is.
Listen to: Ocean of Another |
| 2 |  | Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket
Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula.
This was a very pleasant end of year surprise! Amazing melodies throughout.
Listen to: Hjartats forlorade slag |

The Highwomen
The title track is my favourite song of the year and the rest is excellent, too. Great to see country music done so well.
Listen to: The Highwomen |
| 4 |  | State Faults
Clairvoyant
This has been on constant rotation ever since it came out. Great album front to back.
Listen to: Cemetery Lights |
| 5 |  | The Menzingers
Hello Exile
Ok, so this isn't as good as After the Party (my favourite album from 2017) or On The Impossible Past, but I think I've played some songs off this record more than any other this year. A fun jam.
Listen to: Farewell Youth |
| 6 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
I Love You. It's a Fever Dream.
Great to see him back to his best! This only ranks below The Wild Hunt in my opinion.
Listen to: Running Styles of New York |

LP2
Crazy album, but a lot of fun. This dropped early this year but I've kept coming back to it.
Listen to: Do it Again |
| 8 |  | Bayside
Interrobang
Heavy instrumentation with some killer choruses. What's not to like!
Listen to: Prayers |
| 9 |  | Taylor Swift
Lover
1989 is one of my favourite pop albums and this is right up there. A bast improvement on the underwhelming Reputation
Listen to: Paper Rings |
| 10 |  | Great Grandpa
Four of Arrows
This was a real grower. Lots of really cool tunes.
Listen to: Bloom |
