Post your favorite albums of 2018

[Sgt Brutus]

I’ll start

Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Not a fan of most of his work, but the instrument work is nice on this one imo. Doesn’t feel like fratty white guy rap like blue slide park.

Melvins - Pinkus Abortion Technician
John Prine - The Tree of Forgiveness
Sleep - The Sciences
YOB - Our Raw Heart
Corrosion of Conformity - No Cross No Town
Judas Priest - Firepower
Ghost - Prequelle

 

[Clayton]

Night Versus - From the Gallery of Sleep

Joe Satriani - What Happens Next


Thats all I have so far so nothing with lyrics. A lot of 2nd tier stuff like the newest Nine Inch Nails mini album and the new Jack White but a lot of the rock I've heard as only been ok. I don't see the appeal in Ghost.

 

[Omar 382]

I don't see the appeal in Ghost.

I, too, thoughts Kids See Ghosts was pretty overrated. It was a hell of a lot better than Nasir (ugh, what a let down), but only maybe 2 or 3 songs I would consider good.

I really don't know my favorite album from 2018. In fact, I think KSG and Nasir are the only two I've heard in totality, lol. Oh yeah, Kanye's solo album, Ye, which was alright. I guess Ye is my favorite.

I tried to listen to an hour and a half of Drake on his new album, but despite a few good songs, all it did was make me stare at a rope and a notch on my dresser contemplatively.

Oh, no, I was referring to this band.


I think this is actually the #1 rock song right now.

his last few albums have been solid. Blue Slide Park was a very long time ago. He has definitely matured.

I didn't think too much of em' until I saw em' open for Maiden. They put on an excellent show.

John Coltrane...."Both Directions at Once" (The Lost Album)

It's an amazing album to say the least.

I posted a thread on it here in the music forum last month.

Been listening to them

I agree except for divine feminine, I think that ones hit or miss

Watching Movies might actually be my favorite now

Yeah, I'm liking this. Well produced.

Hurt Feeling and Ladders are both pretty accessible. Self Care and Wings both seem like good tracks, too.

I feel like thats cheating. Coltrane is like finding a lost treasure and not a new invention. I'm a big fan of the Sons of Kemet - Your Queen is a Reptile album which is some feisty new jazz. Its definitely a different brand than Coltrane but I like how aggressive it is at times.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cheating?? LOL...hardly.
But I will agree that's it's definitely a lost treasure....and although it may not be a "new invention" as you put it, it's still infinitely superior than most of the stuff people are clamoring for these days.

I like some of the Sons of Kemet stuff....I have their 1st album "Burn" and I saw them live at the Monterey Jazz festival a few years ago. They're damn good for a British bunch...and you can hear the Sun Ra influence.

Here's another 2018 album from the Jazz realm I would suggest...
Kamasi Washington - "Heaven and Earth"

Check it out.

coc is still making music....

Adam Holzman - Truth Decay

Keyboardist Adam Holzman played with Steve Wilson and Porcupine Tree a few years ago. His latest album combines a bit of Jan Hammer and Tribal Tech. Check it out...

Adam Holzman - Truth Decay

Sounds like the perfect title, considering the state of our current political climate, among other things.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I don't have speakers, but the video sure seems gayer than springtime.

 

[Clayton]

I'll throw 'Jon Hopkins - Singularity' album in the mix of good albums. I seem to be listening to about one techno album a year and this is the one I've gravitated towards in 2018.

 

[beardown07]

Ghost's 2015 album, Meliora is a pretty dang good album.





I saw them open for Maiden....it was 104 degrees that day. They came out in their full get-ups and kinda blew Maiden off the stage, IMO.

They are Swedish, so they are a bit different. I was indifferent until seeing em' live. They put on a great show.

Was reading some shit the other day, that stated Dave Grohl has suited up as a nameless ghoul for them multiple times for live shows. I believe Prince was rumored to have done the same.

Corrosion Of Conformity, yes. They reunited a while back with the original 3 members for two albums, and Pepper Keenan returned for this latest album.

 

[shopson67]

Some high points off the top of my head...

Obscura - Diluvium
Hatchet - Dying To Exist
Ultraphonix - Original Human Music
The Temperance Movement - A Deeper Cut
Stone Temple Pilots - Stone Temple Pilots
Magpie Salute - High Water 1
Darkness - Live at Hammersmith
LA Guns - Made in Milan
Dr Dog - Critical Equation
Ghost - Prequelle
Fantastic Negrito - Please Don't Be Dead

Likely to pick up the new AIC, Nothing, and White Denim later today.
