Thanks Henrik. #21 Lucy Dacus "Night Shift" came out end of 2017. Made my list last year, but will be higher this year.

It seems strange to me that Low has made on of the most acclaimed albums of the year, but it hardly has made an appearance here. I think only once, unsuccessfully? Granted, they work best in context of the album than as standalone songs, but I would still like to give them a try. So I nominate: Low...

Snail Mail's "Pristine" seems low at the moment. Good to see Soccer Mommy in the top 10. I don't really care for the Mitski song at number 6. They seem to have gone more with Heat Wave so far. The 3 tracks with Speaking Terms in the middle is possibly my favourite 3 track run of the year....

Low is this year’s Slowdive, that get additional love for not being praised enough in the past. Think there's more to it than that. It is different to what they did before, while retaining a lot of their sound, if not in itself particular unique (Jon Hopkins etc. but then even Kid A, heck even the ...

Rather than 'a lot of critics are falling back on who has been [in their opinion] great recently' the fact that the likes of the artists formerly known as Beyoncé/Jay Z & Kanye did release albums, maybe it was a case of critics stopping giving everything they released high marks/rankings. Though...

3. Ariana Grande: "Sweetener" This has been the biggest surprise so far. I know there's been a huge trend lately toward The P-word Which Will Not Be Named (at least by me, because I can't stand that word), but when did Grande become such a critical darling all of a sudden? Thanks to popti...

I might need to listen back to that Mitski album but other than that, half of this top 10 is also in my top 10. Be the Cowboy seems to be raking a few first places, which honestly surprises me a little though I expected it to perform well. There's a remarkable, compact perfection to Be the Cowboy t...

You may be meaning to do so later. I've not got time at the minute, but there is a top 100 on the playlist, which may need transcribed sometime (or a quicker way by someone cleverer than me).

After 1 listen, it's good in my opinion, better than the sum of the singles, last track in particular good among the new non single tracks. Probably too late for a lot of lists, though may compete in mine. Controversially for here perhaps, way better than the new Grimes track (again after only 1 lis...

It sucks that The Skinny gave Fucked Up's Dose Your Dreams five stars but it didn't show up here. I haven't seen it any YE lists so far, sadly.

Or will it be too late to make some lists. Even a lot of the ones we haven't seen are probably being compiled now. Even if some have heard a review copy, maybe won't have had time to fully appreciate even if that good.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever the big surprise so far. I loved French Press, thought the album was good, but had to go back & listen to it again. Certainly risen in my list to edge of top 10.
