Favorite 2019 LPs
2019 hasn't been a stellar year music-wise for me. There were many good albums released, but very few outstanding ones. The list is comprised of LPs I have listened multiple times and enjoyed them. There were many I rarely returned to if at all, so I excluded those. I hope 2020 will be a better year. |
| 1 |  | Jambinai
ONDA
Really atmospheric music, I love the album. Catch them live, because it's worth it |
| 2 |  | Opeth
In Cauda Venenum
Beautiful, heartfelt record. They tried some new things as well and it clicked. |
| 3 |  | Motorpsycho
The Crucible
Really good prog rock album that doesn't overstay its welcome. |
| 4 |  | Yawning Man
Macedonian Lines
Sweet, short and relaxing record. |
| 5 |  | Mark Lanegan
Somebody's Knocking
Less somber overall, Mark successfully ventures into electronic territory. |
| 6 |  | My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
In the House of Strange Affairs
Don't know why people dislike it so much on Sputnik, but these guys are still great. |
| 7 |  | Tim Bowness
Flowers At The Scene
Tim branches out and Steven Wilson's magic touch makes things better. The two have great chemistry. |
| 8 |  | 65daysofstatic
