Best of 2017
2017 was a disappointing year for music. I wouldn’t call it a bad year per se, there were a lot of great albums released. The biggest issue I found this year was there were too many great bands that released albums that were just ‘meh’… The National, Propagandhi, Paradise Lost, Captain We’re Sinking, Smith Street Band, Pallbearer, World is a Beautiful Place, Queens of the Stone Age, Destroyer, Toothgrinder Arcade Fire.…. I could go on.
This is also the third straight year a non-metal album is my #1 (this year it was by far my favorite alubm). Which is only odd when you consider my musical taste's run 75% metal, 25% everything else. Kardashev being my #1 metal album of the year alone makes it an odd year in music for me anyway.
I listened to 141 albums released in 2017 this year, this is my top 25. |
