What Is Your Favourite Album Of The Year So Far?

[@jackphelps1997]

A few favourites so far.. Tyler, the creator - IGOR Fontaines DC - Dogrel Anderson .Paak - Ventura Little Simz - Grey Area

[@Antomoxetine]

Igor 🔥

[@carsonworb]

Jack Phelps dogrel is the correct answer

[@johnmarcdegaard6589]

Grey Area maaaayy be the rap AOTY. And it's from a British rapper too looool

[@jackphelps1997]

@@johnmarcdegaard6589 British rap game is strong with the likes of Stormzy, Dave, Slowthai, Little Simz etc etc

[@johnmarcdegaard6589]

@@jackphelps1997 Exactly!! I only said looool because British rappers/grime artists have never been given the recognition they deserve in the US music market until now, which is pretty sick

[@blunderbrain11]

Man I was really hoping for PUP’s Morbid Stuff to at least get an honorable mention. It’s definitely my favorite so far

[@jonahgonzales5583]

As I clicked on this video, I said out loud "Easy. Morbid Stuff"

[@blunderbrain11]

Deku Scrub Link and now we’ve got Bayside’s Interrobang and Menzinger’s Hello Exile

[@windack768]

Dude, the new Periphery is so f-ing good... Reptile and Satellites are such fantastic songs and the perfect way to open and close an album. (that last chorus in satellites.)

[@MickZarco]

I really love the riff from Mark that got made into Satellites, I just learned to okay it, could play it for hours and still love it.

[@AskesisGrappling]

Soooooo good. I got back into it this week now they announced a UK tour, and theres just so much on that album and so varied and it all works in the best kinds of ways. And yeh, the audaciousness of opening on a 17 minute(?) long song, madness. Oh and of course who doesnt love closing on "Suck my balls"

[@dclarkmusic]

My favorites so far: Son Lux - Remnants Tool - Fear Inoculum La Dispute - Panorama The Physics House Band - Death Sequence EP Jambinai - ONDA Sensible Soccers - Aurora Local Natives - Violet Street Brad Mehldau - Finding Gabriel

[@lionhinder]

Love that Freddy Gibbs was mentioned we have a man with great tastes

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's new one is great. Looking forward to Tool's Fear Inoculum.

[@ponchodog9692]

[@toxicity42]

Tool - Fear Inoculum. A brilliant call-back to their biggest albums while being the perfect situation to use ideas that the band have had since Opiate or Undertow.

[@mmmmike0]

My top 5 (in no order.) Aesop Rock & Tobacco are Malibu Ken King Gizzard And the Lizard Wizard - Fishing for Fishies The Mountain Goats - In League with Dragons PUP - Morbid Stuff Beast Coast/Joey Bada$$/Flatbush Zombies - Escape from New York (Honorable mention because it only just came out. The new Ty Segall album is really good... and it's just a single not an album, but Open Mike Eagle's Beatdown City is my favorite song of the year)

I'm gonna come across as slightly boring and basic but the Rocketman Soundtrack, I have listened to it basically all day every day since the film came out. Absolutely fantastic.

[@mattwilcks5156]

I’ve only listened to 2 new albums so far this year. Slipknot - We are not your kind Billie Eilish When we all fall asleep where do we go. I enjoy them both, but will probably only be listening to Fear Inoculum when that drops 😀

Rival Sons - Feral Roots Released in January, it's a fantastic album from start to finish, one which defines the band and their style. The title track has a feel of pure-bred rock music out in the wilderness, other singles such as Do Your Worst, Back In The Woods and Too Bad are all out rock anthems to make you feel like a badass. Rival Sons were that band back in 2011 branded as "the next Led Zeppelin", but they've got some brilliant albums under their belt now and this latest one is, absolutely, their very best.

[@millerhxc]

I fucking love that Ash loves Angel Du$t as well as Turnstile (I never cared for TUI). I was also surprised by how much I actually liked Pretty Buff. It might be more "indie" than their other stuff but it's still mostly uptempo, well written and fucking infectious. I'll check out Ashnikko, that sounds interesting. Disease is a good album and Beartooth are great in general but it did find the reuse of pretty much the same song structure on each track a bit off putting. Some of my favourites this year so far along with Pretty Buff are This Means War! - Heartstrings, The Wildhearts - Renaissance Men, Blowfuse - Daily Ritual, Bis - Slight Disconnects and Pizzatramp - Grand Relapse.

Love keeps kicking by Martha is great, if you like that Morbid stuff by PUP is a must listen to. The Periphery album is incredible (I also had failed to get into them prior to this one). My album of the year so far is probably There Will Be No Intermission by Amanda Palmer... but I love her music and it's mostly tracks that've been slowly being released for the last couple of years so for entirely new to me stuff it has to be either Proto by Holly Herndon or ITEKOMA HITS by Otoboke Beaver.

Whitechapel's "The Valley" has been my favourite album of this year by far. Really pushed me back into death metal/core again.

[@gagalover2k10]

Lliam Quarm I’m not the biggest listener of deathcore but that album is a masterpiece

[@neneargueta8332]

Slipknot - “We Are Not Your Kind” Whitechapel - “The Valley” I immensely enjoyed these two records. I want to try to listen to “Atonement” by killswitch engage and “Strength in Numb333rs” by Fever 333 because I have heard those are also very good albums

[@coyoteartist]

Now that I've figured out what the heck Josh said the name of that band was, I just listened to Love Keeps Kicking on the KZbin. Reminds me a bit of the '90s actually. And I love me a good video. Specially one with a guitar riff or solo featured like that.

[@AlexGreat321]

Fever 333 - Strength In Numb333rs. Rach needs to check it out. It's awesome. Its like Rage but with more hip hop influence Bilmuri - White Milk. It has a saxophone solo in a wave song. That's all you need Bad Omens - Finding God Before God Finds Me. If you miss Sempiternal era BMTH listen to it. Attila - Villain. The fact I'm saying this shows how good it is. Attila went from party metal to actually talking about real issues. Subhuman is a great song The Wildhearts - Renaissance Man. Proper old school rock music if you like that sort of stuff.

Other than Billie Eilish, I have not heard of any of these, and not listened to even the one I have heard of. My age is showing. It'd be great if you discuss what genres your albums of the year fall into just to help people watching figure out which might be in line with their tastes.
