Not a great year for albums as far as I'm concerned. Run the jewels 2 was incredible though, they even got album of the year from Pithfork and Complex. I really recommend it. Copper Gone was good too but the rest was not all that great.
In Return by odesza was amazing. They're such a talented dou and I'm definitely looking forward to what else they have coming out.
This Is All Yours by alt-J was pretty good. It's a much different sound from their first album and I don't know if Gwil leaving is the change but overall it's a good album.
Our love by Caribou was a good album. Some songs felt drawn out though.
MrGnarlson2nd this. There were some good ones for sure, but nothing stellar.
They just don't make music like they used to.
"They don't make albums like they used to" Ok Dad.
There was some really solid albums this year, D'angelo's album that just dropped was amazing, RTJ2 was stellar, a bunch of up and coming rappers had good projects such as Isaiah Rahsad, Dej Loaf, Mick Jenkins, Vince Staples. Freddie Gibbs and Madlib dropped a dope collaborative album, FKA Twigs' LP1 was some really good alternative R&B.
Personally I think if you say that nothing good is coming out you're most likely close minded or not looking hard enough.
Another awesome album this year was Transgender Dysphoria Blues by Against Me! It is another early in the year release, but damn powerful.
I've been singing Black Me Out for the entire year, because it's raw, emotional, and damn catchy. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/744247/Against-Me----Black-Me-Out
