Albums
of the year
2018
This was a strange year, in the sense that without even planning it I ended up listening to more new releases than any past year. I think it was a subconscious thing, being in the middle of a "oh yeah I'll just build my own house and it will go perfectly with no hiccups whatsoever" type of situation. I was looking for something new and perfect to replace the new home which has yet to arrive. Luckily all this listening paid off as there were some really excellent albums this year. It started off slowly, only for some of the best output to come out towards the end. Killer climax, man.
This year I have not put together a playlist, but instead included a song or video for each review as a taste for the rest. And even though these are numbered as you can see, they are not in any order whatsoever. Except for #1 - that one truly rises above all else this year.

Psychic Data
I'd fully understand if no one understands this description, but this album sounds like to me a mix of The Cult and various stages that Ministry went through. It's dirty and groovy and sexy and I know absolutely nothing about this band, but this does the trick for me in some way that I'm not fully comprehending. Maybe that's the expected result.
