Designer1 Posted December 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2018 I always love these end of year album threads. There are people on here whose opinion i trust who will always post a few belters that I've missed, so I know the next few days of listening will be interesting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 OK, my list is, I guess, a slight cheat in that there's a good few on here that are old stuff, but released this year. No order going on here, other than the first one: 1.0 Super Furry Animals - Live at the BBC quadruple album 2.0 Colorama - Cookie Zoo 3.0 Colorama - Some Things Just Take Time 4.0 Gulp - All Good Wishes 5.0 Mr - Oesoedd 6.0 Boy Azooga - 1, 2, Kung Fu 7.0 Gwenifer Raymond - You Never Were Much Of A Dancer 8.0 Jah Marcus - Word In Dub 9.0 Lee Scratch Perry - The Black Album 10.0 Lovely Eggs - This Is Eggland 11.0 The Amorphous Androgynous - The Isness (Abbey Road) 12.0 Lay Llamas - Thuban 13.0 Les Big Byrd - Iran Iraq Ikea 14.0 Primal Scream - Give Out But Don't Give Up (Memphis) 15.0 Causa Sui - Vibraciones Doradas (red) (16.0 Wee - You Can Fly On My Aeroplane)* * original release 1977, clearly a re release I've bought this year, no date anywhere on it, discogs have it dated as 'unknown'. It's really very very good, so it's going on the list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've barely heard of any of the artists, let alone the albums. I'm sure you recognize a few on my list. You really would be out of touch if you haven't heard of Ariana Grande for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion and SR3MM would probably be on my list too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is it's the album that I scored highest on my iTunes rating system, every track got 5 stars. Might be worth checking out Clarice Jensen - For This From That Will Be Filled which goes a step further down the route taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely one of the worst things I've ever heard. The musical equivalent of trying to watch more than 10 minutes of The Greatest Showman. It's a no from me.

Rugeley Villa Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 @Designer1 Throw some decent doom my way. Not too familiar with modern music if I’m being honest. Don’t like screaming vocals. Just some nice slow, dark ,grinding doom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted December 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2018 Ghost - Prequelle for me. A perfect realisation of their blend of black metal, pop and classic rock. So many great tunes and riffs packed into one album that spans everything from doom to prog to almost disco. And the whole lot backed up by a totally absurd and darkly comedic mythology. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
