There definitely has not been one album that's dominated the year the way there has been the last three years (DAMN., Blackstar, and To Pimp a Butterfly). Unless something starts to leap away from the pack - the only potential candidate I can think of is Dirty Computer - the spreadsheet could end up being very interesting (not that it isn't always interesting, but the toppermost-of-the-poppermost is usually pretty anticlimactic).

Yeah, there's nothing that looks set to totally dominate this year.

I think it'll be interesting to see where TBH&C ends up. It seemed to have quite polarizing reviews which I feel can help. If half of the publications think it was really great and half hated it, it still means it'll find its way on a lot of lists unlike, say, another album that everyone agreed was like 7/10.

Took me a second to figure out this was Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino. I think it's going to be one of those albums that received a somewhat lukewarm response on initial release but ends up with a high ranking on the EOY spreadsheet, kind of like most of Lana Del Rey's albums, or a couple of Kanye's - or, for that matter, most of Arctic Monkeys' own other albums besides the debut and AM.

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.

Jack White might pull of something similar this year, too.

Anyone else surprised that Robyn missed the cut for both Mojo and Uncut?

Not really, looks like neither has even reviewed it.

Anyone putting the Arctic Monkeys anywhere near the top 10 needs their head examined.

Respectfully disagree! I love me some lounge-pop Bowie-esque concept album about a lunar hotel/casino. But I get that it's a super hard sell.
