[LoathedVermin72]

LV, what hip hop albums do you recommend from this year?

I really haven't heard much from this year, honestly. I love DAMN., of course. I like what I've heard from Big Sean's album. And there's no denying Lil Uzi Vert's "XO Tour Life", which deserves its status as an instantly iconic anthem.

[i got bugs]

Damn deserves all of the credit it's getting.. kinda reminds me of atliens at times

[digster]

Not in any real order...

The National - Sleep Well Beast
Big Thief - Capacity
Julien Baker - Turn On the Lights
Widowspeak - Expect the Best
St. Vincent - Masseducation
LCD Soundsystem - American Dream
Josh Ritter - Gathering

The Darkness - Pinewood Smile

That's the only new album I've liked this year. Disappointed with Beck and QOTSA.

[Brett]

Here's eight that I've really enjoyed this year:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Luciferian Towers

Do Make Say Think - Stubborn Persistent Illusions

Avec le Soleil Sortant de sa Bouche - Pas Pire Pop [I ♥ You So Much]

Mogwai - Every Country's Sun

Off World - 2

More time with some other stuff and at least one album yet to be released will affect how a top ten turns out.
