Albums 2018 ST Edition
I heard things, I have opinions, read if you care |
| 1 |  | George Clanton
Slide
Has a similar psychedelic vibe to his previous album (100% Electronica), Def a grower upon repeated listens but I still prefer the original as a cohesive whole. I am glad that George is getting attention for this though(3.5-4) |
| 2 |  | Brockhampton
Iridescence
The boys had to deal with a key member of their group leaving and it definitely shows here, while there are some songs I come back to(New Orleans, Berlin, District, San Marcos), Iridescence lacks the memorability of any of the saturation trilogy.(3) |
| 3 |  | Denzel Curry
TA13OO
I've always enjoyed Denzel's stuff, and this no different honestly. last couple tracks push this above his previous stuff(4.5) |
| 4 |  | Death Grips
Year of the Snitch
Death Grips/10 |
| 5 |  | Sleep
The Sciences
AOTY because it's Sleep |
| 6 |  | Night Verses
From the Gallery of Sleep
m/(I can't really think of much else to say than it's a fine piece of instrumental metal) |
| 7 |  | daughters
You Won't Get What You Want
whenever I suffer from insomnia, I like to play this at full volume and pummel my ears into submission
incoming tinnitus/10 |
| 8 |  | The Ocean
Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic
I need to check this band out sometime |
| 9 |  | Horrendous
Idol
I need an instrumental version, on most death metal I can take the vocals just fine but for some reason the way the vocals are mixed here are a turn off for me personally. I can't describe why because I'm not an audiophile
instrumental please/10 |
| 10 |  | Slugdge
Esoteric Malacology
I need to check this band out sometime[2] |
| 11 |  | IDLES
Joy as an Act of Resistance
I prefer Brutalism slightly but honestly this is a worthy follow-up
(4-4.5/5) |
| 12 |  | Zeal and Ardor
Stranger Fruit
I need to check this band out sometime[3] |
| 13 |  | Hermit and the Recluse
Orpheus vs. The Sirens
