Neek's 2018 Q2: Albums
Holy shit I listened to a lot of albums |
| 24 |  | Panic! at the Disco
Pray For The Wicked
2.2
Fave Track: The Overpass; Dying in LA
Overblown and aggressively frustrating pop album with a couple decent moments. |
| 23 |  | Kanye West
ye
2.3
Fave Track: Ghost Town
Yeah def not my thing. Like at all. |
| 22 |  | Sting and Shaggy
44/876
2.7
Fave Track: Sad Trombone
Wish I hated this more than I did, some of it is pretty fun, some of it's pretty cringey, some is both. |
| 21 |  | Arctic Monkeys
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
2.8
Fave Tracks: Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino; She Looks Like Fun
engh |
| 20 |  | Thirty Seconds To Mars
America
2.9
Fave Tracks: Monolith; Rider
I don't feel bad trashing this now that I've already broken up with the girl who rec'd it to me, but honestly it's not too bad. There's some really generic pop here but ti's pretty inoffensive. Plus those two tracks totally rule. |
| 19 |  | Janelle Monae
Dirty Computer
3.0
Fave Tracks: Dirty Computer; So Afraid
Some of y'all overblew the hate for this, but I was letdown pretty hard too. I feel like each album she does is an extension of the worst moments from her previous album. |
| 18 |  | Nas
NASIR
3.1
Fave Track: Cops Shot the Kid
Didn't dig Illmatic, don't dig this. |
| 17 |  | The Carters
Everything Is Love
3.2
Fave Tracks: Apeshit; Heard About Us
Might have rated this too low, just felt a bit betrayed considered how much I enjoyed their last solo works. |
| 16 |  | Mike Shinoda
Post Traumatic
3.3
Fave Track: Running from My Shadow
Basically just an extension of his EP into an overblown album, it's pretty good but does too much and too little at the same time. |
| 15 |  | Ghost (SWE)
Prequelle
3.4
Fave Track: Rats
"Any other band: *goes poppier*
Sputnik: fuck this band
Ghost: *goes poppier*
Sputnik: Is this what sex feels like?" |
| 14 |  | Remo Drive
Pop Music
3.6

| 13 |  | Pusha T
DAYTONA
3.6
Fave Track: Hard Piano (i’m sorry)
Never heard this guy before, but I'm surprised at how much I dug this. |
| 12 |  | Kids See Ghosts
Kids See Ghosts
3.7
Fave Track: Freeee
Yeah this was really good, just not mindblowing and nothing stood out to me as much as it did for others. |
| 11 |  | Sophie
Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides
3.7
Fave Track: Ponyboy
Wish I got into this just a bit more, but it just gets annoying/frustrating at certain times, especially on the closer. Still really damn glad I checked it out. |

Light
3.7
Fave Track: Player

Fave Track: No Manners
My favorite Wyoming Sessions release, don't @ me. |
| 8 |  | The Body
I have fought against it, But I can’t any longer
3.8
Fave Track: Can Carry No Weight
I might have rated this a tad high, but when it works it works incredibly well. Love the atmospheric touches on here. |
| 7 |  | Father John Misty
God's Favorite Customer
3.9
Fave Track: Just Dumb Enough to Try
Wish this had more highlights, but it's remarkably consistent and well-written as always. |
| 6 |  | Protomartyr
Consolation
3.9
Fave Track: Wheel of Fortune
That track made this for me. |
| 5 |  | Kacey Musgraves

Just completely pleasant, especially those two above picks. |
| 4 |  | The Voidz
Virtue
4.0
Fave Tracks: QYURRYUS; ALieNNatioN; Pointlessness
Not as brilliant or abrasive as their debut, but I'll take this gratefully. |
| 3 |  | Tropical Fuck Storm
A Laughing Death in Meatspace
4.1
Fave Tracks: Anitmatter Animals; Shellfish Toxin
For some reason I felt like this should've clicked just a bit more than it did, but it was great nonetheless. |
