Post by Otisredding »

The best albums of 2018 (update June 15)

The numbers presented next to each album title are the weighted average rating, and, in brackets, average and number of ratings (out of 31 included sources). The weighted average is based on a formula that includes a) the average of ratings and b) the number of sources that have rated the album.

The magazines I used for the ratings were:
EUR + Australia: Gaffa-dk; Gaffa-sw; Humo; Indiestyle; Jenesaispop; Laut; Mondosonoro; Musikexpress; Nojesguiden; Ondarock; Plattentests; Sentire Ascoltare; The Music
UK: DIY; Drowned In Sound; The Guardian; Music OMH; NME; The Line Of Best Fit; The Skinny; The 405
USA + Canada: Allmusic; AV Club; Consequence Of Sound; Earbuddy; Exclaim!; Paste; Pitchfork; Popmatters; Rolling Stone; Under The Radar

Highlights: These are the top three songs from the album according to Allmusic, Consequence of Sound, Jenesaispop, Plattentests, The Skinny, Beardfood, BostonGlobe, Nowtoronto, Entertainment Weekly, etc…

As of this writing, you seem to have moved Daytona to #3 but without changing its rank or rating (#10, 80.3) from its debut last time - please fix this.

I'm a little surprised at how low Kids See Ghosts is, too - I'm expecting it to climb higher next time (although I could be wrong). Not at all surprised that YE is nowhere to be found here, though. The consensus seems to be that West lavished a lot of time and effort on Daytona and KSG but basically tossed off his own album by comparison. There are going to be two more West-produced releases in this cycle (Nas today, and Teyana Taylor next week), and it'll be interesting to see where they all end up, both on Mega-Critic and in the EOY lists.

I'm more surprised that Father John Misty and Oneohtrix Point Never landed as low as they did.

Well, I know that YE has been bashed by many critics, but I have mostly followed RYM recently, where it actually almost has the same rating as TLOP. And KSG might be in RYM’s top 5 of 2018 in their next chart update.

If ye doesn’t make it onto AM after the eoy lists, then I will be very surprised.

All three albums (I'm including Pusha T) are already in the top 12 for 2018 (and the all-time top 10K) on BestEverAlbums as well.

I'm a little surprised at how low Kids See Ghosts is, too - I'm expecting it to climb higher next time (although I could be wrong). Not at all surprised that YE is nowhere to be found here, though. The consensus seems to be that West lavished a lot of time and effort on Daytona and KSG but basically tossed off his own album by comparison. There are going to be two more West-produced releases in this cycle (Nas today, and Teyana Taylor next week), and it'll be interesting to see where they all end up, both on Mega-Critic and in the EOY lists.

I'm more surprised that Father John Misty and Oneohtrix Point Never landed as low as they did.
Yeah I'm pretty disappointed that the lyrics of Ye came around just a couple of weeks before the release. It's like the work from all those previous months was for nothing.
I feel like that

Glad to see Wide Awake! so high, but Little Dark Age is waaaay underranked. Hopefully climbs at year end

Well, I know that YE has been bashed by many critics, but I have mostly followed RYM recently, where it actually almost has the same rating as TLOP. And KSG might be in RYM’s top 5 of 2018 in their next chart update.
I think in RYM the difference between 3,22 and 3,35 is actually rather big.
If ye doesn’t make it onto AM after the eoy lists, then I will be very surprised.
I really hope not. I thought that critics were way too generous with Life of Pablo, in a way they wouldn't have been with any other artist. Likely Kids See Ghosts may steal it's thunder.

And yet another topic has been hijacked by Kanye West.

I have done it. Thank you.

To continue the theme of being pernickety:
46 - Gas: Rausch - 75,7 (78,4 / 12)
45 - Yo La Tengo: There's a Riot Going On - 75,5 (74,5 / 24)
Regardless, awesome work again, OtisRedding.
