I think there are five or fewer 2017 releases that I’ve heard. The only two I can even think of right now are The National and Arcade Fire.

Oh shit. Just remembered the lame Beck album
Sat November 11, 2017 5:17 am
There is so little new music I find exciting right now.

Seriously, there might be one or two other albums that I’ve bought this year, but I can’t think of any. And I didn’t even buy the Arcade Fire CD. My buddy bought two tickets to their concert and they were giving a free copy of the new album with every ticket purchased. He gave one to me. So as of this moment I can only think of two albums I’ve actually spent money on this year. The National and Beck. Just a few years ago (maybe five or six) I bought around 40 new albums in one calendar year.

Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence
At the Drive In - interalia

I heard that Brand New album on a long drive with my brother. I remember liking the first half of the album, maybe more. There are a lot of noticeable grunge influences in those songs.

RTJ3 was last year. Would have been on my list otherwise.

Still some stuff I wanna check out before the end of the year, and some albums I've listened a few times but need to revisit but here's my top 10 right now, I'll also add my favorite song in every album because why wouldn't I:
1. Protomartyr - Relatives in Descent (The Chuckler)
2. Jesca Hoop - Memories are Now (Memories Are Now)
3. The New Year - Snow (Recent History)
4. The Courtneys - II (Silver Velvet)
5. The National - Sleep Well Beast (Carin at the Liquor Store)
6. Alvvays - Antisocialites (Lolllipop (Ode to Jim))
7. The Mynabirds - Be Here Now (Witch Wolf)
8. Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - Lotta Sea Lice (On Script)
9. Feist - Pleasure (Any Party)
10. Broken Social Scene - Hug of Thunder (Protest Song)
I think this has been a strong year, especially the month of September. The Mount Eerie album is probably one of the best of the year too but I didn't have the heart to give it too many listens.

The FF is damn good, Mike. It snuck up on me -- first few listens it was more of a "this is ambitious and respectable but less enjoyable than previous works." Then about a month later I listened to it again and the whole thing just felt absolutely perfect.
Sat November 11, 2017 8:35 pm
I quite like that 3rd of May song.
Sat November 11, 2017 8:57 pm
Here are 10 that I can think of now, I'm sure there are others I liked a lot that'll come to me later

Natalia Lafourcade - Musas

Charly Bliss- Guppy
Linda May Han Oh - Walk Against Wind
Kendrick Lamar - Damn

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet
Julien Baker - Turn Out the Lights
