The deliberate low-frequency buzz on some tracks hurts my ears and not in a good way, hence why it's in the second tier of mine, without that it would be in the top tier. It's a cracking album apart from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 arctic monkeys tranquillity base hotel and casino - took me a while to "get" it but once i did its stunning after that... i had to have a look at what was released this year, done my usual thing and bought around 100 CDs usually on offer meaning they will be last years and 50 odd vinyls, the only other 2018 album i have bought is interpol marauder, thats crazy for me, im miles behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bicks mentioned, the low frequency buzz thing initially grated with me too, but after repeated listens I got past that and love it’s entirety now. I’ll do a list later, but that Low one will be in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Haven't really heard enough albums to make a top 20, but I can scrape together a top 10/11.

chrisp65 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I struggle to look beyond the last great thing I heard. But as Bicks said above, it feels like it was a bloody good year. Two albums from Colorama, I've only got one of them and need to pick the other up next week. Of course, there's also the quadruple album of previously unreleased bits n bobs from Super Furry Animals. Right now, that's just on loop. There's about 6 or 7 on Bicks list that are also on mine, so I'm not sure whether to be worried about that or not?

sharkyvilla Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I really need to find the motivation to get back into my music. I only bought one album this year, BRMC's Wrong Creatures and that was in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
