The 2018 end of the year music lists thread

Rough Trade are out of the gates with the first list of the year, as always.

https://roughtrade.com/gb/albums-of-the-year-2018

No, it's not any earlier than usual this year* - they are a record shop and this is what they are putting up in their window for the Christmas market.

Think they are supposed to be in order?

I follow these lists as a source for my thing, sure you have your own reason to be here.

*Actually it's one day earlier

I feel like we did this already... ;)

Listed in order here - https://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/1018-rough-trades-albums-of-the-year-2018/2

10. Oh Sees - Smote Reverser
9. Courtney Barnett - Tell Me How You Really Feel
8. Mark Peters - Innerland
7. Goat Girl - Goat Girl
6. Daniel Blumberg - Minus
5. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Hope Downs
4. Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo
3. Idles - Joy as an Act of Resistance
2. Everything Is Recorded - Everything Is Recorded by Richard Russell
1. Shame - Songs of Praise

xp yeah, it's just one year after another these days

prob wanna change that thread title!

That is truly fucking abominable!

^^^the first in a series

The list, I mean, not the misdating

Aha fuck yes, might want to do that

That said I think a friend of a friend's brother is in Shame so I should check them out huh

Mid-November and I'm still getting the year wrong

there was probably always too much music but only a fraction was available to most people

now there is too much music available

it's nice

also a bit much at times

They have some great albums in there but the ranking seems very arbitrary.

I like the Shame album but #1 is insane (tho it's very on-brand)

Uncut albums list

1. Low - Double Negative
2. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Hope Downs
3. Ty Segall - Freedom's Goblin
4. Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurt
5. Yo La Tengo - There's a Riot Going On
6. Janelle Monáe - Dirty Computer
7. Gruff Rhys - Babelsberg

11. Richard Thompson - 13 Rivers
12. Neko Case - Hell-On
13. Young Fathers - Cocoa Sugar
14. Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son
15. Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Look Now
16. Ezra Furman - Transangelic Exodus
17. Courtney Barnett - Tell Me How You Really Feel
18. The Breeders - All Nerve
19. Cowboy Junkies - All That Reckoning
20. Jack White - Boarding House Reach

So the earlier the list the crummier?

seems so

We haven't had the Radio X list yet, so much crummier is yet to come.

These days the choices are so vast and tastes are so specialized, nearly all the lists will be crummy to most. Jack White is a hilarious choice, but I do love the RBCF album. It's easy to complain, but there's always opportunity for new discovery. Usually the interesting finds are outside the top 10.

RT:
12. Bodega - Endless Scroll
14. Amyl & The Sniffers - Big Attraction/Giddy Up
24. Fatoumata Diawara - Fenfo (Something To Say)
38. Dream Wife - Dream Wife

I didn't know about Bodega, though on first listen probably not top 100 material for me. I do like Amyl & the Sniffers even if it is a bit yelpy. Dream Wife has grown on me steadily throughout the year. I wasn't sure about #7 Goat Girl for a while but it's grown on me too. Another debut that fits well with them on my playlist is Santa Librada, which probably won't show up on any of these lists, as well as Shopping (that might scrape into the bottom of a couple), Spiritual Cramp, Maggot Heart and Melbourne Cans.

Uncut has plenty that I find non-crummy (Idles, Gazelle Twin, Gwenno, Ryley Walker, Hookworms, Julia Holter, Yves Tumor), and I expect many of those will turn up in other lists. Not as much stands out as interesting to me:

30. Mélissa Laveaux - Radyo Siwèl
42. Melody's Echo Chamber - Bon Voyage

Melody Prochet went from collaborating with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker in 2012 to the Amazing’s Fredrik Swahn and Dungen’s Reine Fiske, an upgrade IMO. She had an excuse for her 6 yr gap, a car crash, brain aneurysm and broken vertebrae.

Any guesses for frontrunners? Beyond the domination of Janelle Monáe since early in the year, nothing seems too obvious. Robyn, Christine and the Queens, Confidence Man, Black Foxxes, Rosalía, Noname? Will RYM faves Daughters, Pusha T, Kids See Ghosts and Car Seat Headrest make an impact? I am really not sure which ones will stick. Will Kamasi Washington again be the token jazz choice or will Sons of Kemet hold on to their headstart from the Brit rags? I saw Sons of Kemet live at a free outdoor summer gig and it was hilarious watching people sitting on their blankets with their wine and cheese, unable to make conversation because it was too loud and dissonant, but determined not to show their discomfort. Kudos to those who actually power through that whole album on their headphones. It's good, but can indeed cause headaches! Makaya McCraven would tick a lot of boxes for people if critics aren't too lazy to explore, or Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids.

I most enjoy the interesting fusions with cumbia noir, space rock/psych, prog, post-punk, dub and soul like Dos Santos, Mythic Sunship, Mildlife, Vespero, The Messthetics, Elephant9, Sly & Robbie Meet Nils Petter Molvær, Ben Lamar Gay, The Midnight Hour and Kamaal Williams. Would be pleasantly surprised if any of them get a spotlight.

Sleep appear to be the token stoner psych doom choice, though I think many might prefer the Windhand if they heard it cuz of their newfound grungy hooks. With a couple possible exceptions like YOB, the rest of it will remain on the margins. There are a growing number of festivals featuring these bands in the U.S., though nowhere near the level of Europe.

I’m failing to see what the consensus top 3 albums will be when more lists start pouring in. Have a feeling that Janelle Monae might end up appearing in the most lists... Robyn, Parquet Courts, Rosalia and probably Low the ones will see the most too.

We’ll

It's gonna be Mitski and Musgraves, I'm guessing

Depending on the audience hip hop lists will either favor Pusha T and KSG or Denzel Curry and Noname.

Electronic token pick for zines that don’t really focus on house/techno will be AAL, Dj Koze, Ross from friends, Jon Hopkins... maybe Skee Mask.

Sons of Kemet and Kamashi seem like the token jazz picks this year.

Sons of Kemet and Kamashi seem like the token jazz picks this year.

Makaya McCraven, too. (Full disclosure, I'm doing a jazz list for Stereogum and all 3 will be on it.)

I mean The 1975 album isn't even out yet

another year of me being totally baffled that websites adhere to magazine publishing schedules for year-end lists

i guess no one would give a shit in january though

Common journalistic decency dictates that you should wait till the 1st of December.

this evoken record is absolutely incredible thank you decibel

I haven't gotten around to it yet but of those I've heard from their top 10 the Skeletonwitch and Tribulation were both underwhelming, so I'm skeptical as to the rest. Evoken sounds like it'll be right up my alley, though.

I bought exactly five records with recorded-in-2018 material this year (out of over 500 total), I think I'm ready to walk away from this treadmill and focus on old jazz records

Senyawa is pretty cool, I do admit

the last couple Evoken records slayed, stoked to check out the new one

A strange list as always. They inexplicably include token the garage psych noir album from Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, but leave out the amazing Windhand album (not to mention Witch Mountain, Castle, Moab, Weedpecker and Wytch Hazel). I love Uncle Acid, but it's not really what Decibel normally covers, so why even bother? Graveyard, Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows, Lucifer, Druid, Alastor, All Them Witches, The Exploding Eyes Orchestra, The Necromancers and King Buffalo are all just as great.

hasn't been a great year for metal imo, and most of the best stuff falls into the hardcore/emo crossover bracket which decibel clearly doesn't want to touch

agreed it's weird windhand didn't make it. i like that record a lot

That newest Graveyard record is a bit of a dud imo

Time, who apparently do an albums list now.

yes

Will Time be the only list Shawn Mendes gets on?

goddamn either Time has somehow magically become hip or I am officially lame as hell because anywhere from 4 to 6 of those albums will probably be in my own top 10.

Time is I suspect much like Cosmopolitan in that they just let a single writer put together the lists, which means they are surprisingly coherent and curated.

Like the songs list is 1-5 = obvious inclusions, 6-10 = personal favourites

maybe marc benioff is a poptimist

Time lists are the best so far.

with an extremely low bar to clear

still anything that gets more people hearing mitski is a net positive

― #BreakingTheWorld (sleeve)

i mean to get off the treadmill, really i do, but i still love new music as much as i love old music. the i have just as many 2018 records added to my library at this point as i do 2017, which is a lot.

despite this i still haven't heard, or heard, didn't care about, and forgot, most of the acclaimed records in this thread so far. i guess it's good because they're apparently shit? but i'm too old to pretend i have good taste in music. i like records by old people everybody else has forgotten about. like the new chris connelly record!

The only big mainstream album I've heard all year was the Janelle Monáe, and I thought it was...a couple of good singles (and one really bad single) and a bunch of stuff I've already forgotten.

From the Decibel list, I've heard Hate Eternal (very good), Monster Magnet (OK), Horrendous (not for me), Visigoth (great), Sleep (yawn), Funeral Mist (amazing), Haunt (OK), Pig Destroyer (yawn), Judas Priest (better than I expected), and Tribulation (good).

Time list is mega corny but ofc ilx likes it 🙄

Tbf I haven't heard the #1 yet. And I'm only interested in their francophone suggestions anyway.

Norman Records have also done a reissues list, which is much more up my street tbh

https://www.normanrecords.com/features/albums-of-the-year-2018#best-reissues

Admittedly there were several undeniable classics in Norman's reissues list but I have to agree, the top new releases are leaving me relatively underwhelmed.

https://www.stereogum.com/2027032/barack-obama-best-songs-2018/news/

Someone send him an invite for the ILM EOY poll.

Listening to some of these and damn that Jupiter & Okwess track is a blast.

X-post- Yes to that Jupiter & Okwess track on the Obama list.

the playlist at the end of carl wilson’s last music club entry is good (disclaimer: i was part of it this year)

have you heard "individual beauty" (is that part of the reissue?), it was nice

JFC. The people who think he makes these lists himself... He has 100 interns with his foundation. He might sit in on a 90 second session to vet political problems?

I’ll buy that if you attest & have knowledge that it’s true, but... what purpose is served by releasing an intern-written list?

i gave them a chance to sell me on why i should actually listen to the dita von teese album, but no, i'm sorry, i don't believe i will.

Oh, thanks. Tbh I didn't really know 5 Against 4 until you mentioned it on the classical thread but it seems like something I've been looking for.

He'd probably fit right in here. His tastes are highly eclectic (although this year's list is a little more homogenous than usual so far), especially for a contemporary classical buff, and he's an excellent writer to boot. I crib quite a few of my favourite yearly releases from his blog and his concert coverage and accompanying records are great as well. I too am skeptical of the Ditta Von Teese but who knows? It's interesting to have included it in an EOY list that's so heavily skewed towards classical/ambient/'avant-garde'/soundtracks. Looking forward to part 2.

*recordings. That word gives me a hard time for some reason.

Turns out all the tracks on the Dita Von Teese album were written by Sébastien Tellier so it self-consciously comes across as a Gainsbourg/Birkin tribute, down to the inclusion of a couple of French-language songs. If you're a Tellier fan – I find him mildly amusing, no more and no less – you'll probably like it.

And here's part 2:

20. Computer Magic - Danz
19. Gottfried Huppertz - Metropolis
18. Ryoji Ikeda - Music For Percussion
17. Toivo Tulev - Magnificat
16. Coppice - Surreal Air Fortress
15. Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir - Choral Works by Schnittke & Pärt
14. Michael Cutting - Stills
13. James Newton Howard - Red Sparrow
12. Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears
11. irr. app. (ext.) - A Transfigured System
10. various artists - Phantom Images
9. Rich Shapero & Elsiane - Rin, Tongue and Dorner
8. ionnalee - Everyone Afraid To Be Forgotten
7. Thom Yorke - Suspiria
6. Fia Fiell - All In The Same Room

I'm shocked Kate Bush's box set didn't make that top 10!

My year-end Top 10. I'm a little skeptical as to what's going to materialize for Pazz & Jop, but if nothing else, its puzzling continuation gave me a push to again do this. Not sure I would have otherwise this year--and wouldn't have done so at least until February without the deadline.

That's a terrific blurb on "December 24th," a track I played several times that night.

Thanks. So frustrating that it's so short...

“Aliens in Our Midst,” their Twinkeyz cover. The Twinkeyz? Honest to god, never heard of them, but, if we can finesse our way around the lyric about the five-year-old friend who likes to dress in his sister’s clothes, my school’s music teacher and I are hoping to perform it at a future school assembly with my grade 3 class. (We’re very enlightened, promise; parents and principals sometimes have different ideas.)

Is there any way for an adult to attend a school assembly as a non-relative/teacher without looking like a creep?

(I mean, I went to my niece’s Christmas pageant last month, but they did nothing cooler than “Let It Go”).

If it happens, and I hope it does, I'll post a YouTube video privately and send you the link. As the nine-millionth reconfiguration of "Louie, Louie," it's amazingly easy to play on guitar (if it weren't, it'd be beyond me).

it's interesting to read that your way into "Miki Dora" was through the backstory! I fell in love with that song the first time I played the album, the slow build of the music and his voice drew me in, it wasn't until much later that I learned what the song was about

http://505indie.com.br/acervo/os-50-melhores-albuns-brasileiros-de-2018/

Elza Soares at 10; Carne Doce's Tonus at #1 (who?); 23 is Marcelo Cabral, avante-samba rock pal of Romulo Froes in Sao Paulo; 31- Gilberto Gil; 34. Heavy Baile – Carne de Pescoço is funk carioca; 38 is Ava Rocha-- more avante-samba

That's it?

One of the best lists for last, The Finest Kiss always finds singles I never knew existed. I added the ones available on Spotify to the end of my singles list: https://finestkiss.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/2018-singles-of-the-year/

Not all singles, but pop tracks selected from Dream/Art/Jangle pop, Shoegaze, etc.: https://open.spotify.com/user/1212496385/playlist/1TingElLqQsoqmRciGAUoy?si=ouXrBmV1TQutTAy4ShCoyg

yeah i've been digging the stuff on colemine this past year, nothing wrong with genre exercises if the feeling's there

had to look up whomst the Y in "GAPDY" was. earnestly thought it was Yeasayer

uhh wrong thread lol

https://finestkiss.wordpress.com/2019/01/06/notable-albums-of-2018/

As is often the case, I'm not on board with his #1, but it doesn't matter, there's plenty of great discoveries to be found. It also prompted me to re-listen and re-consider albums by Spirit of the Beehive, Honey Bucket and others. Ural Thomas & the Pain is a great choice for soul.

yeah, very good list ^ and the first one i've seen mention that Clearance record, which i really liked.

I’ve only seen the Shopping album on two other lists. Maybe the ILX love for Sacred Paws last year might carry over.
