Your favorite albums this year so far

Most albums this year for me have been pretty big disappointments (White Women, What is this Heart?, Turn Blue each have 2-3 real great songs and the rest just isn't fun to listen to) so my favourite album so far this year came out of nowhere, Glass Animal's ZABA. Very smooth and constantly high-quality songs.

Ya, some of his older songs sound straight out of sonic or something. Really easy to listen to.

the new Spoon album when it comes out.

Been loving both of Troy Sanders two new albums:

Also getting my dose of crazy conceptual prog metal with Barrows new album Red Giant

Been meaning to listen to Jack White's new album too, also interested in Chris Letchford's jazz album though from what I've heard it sounds a little bland.

The new Allegaeon album is damn good. Also these guys are hilarious

Wretched released a killer album this year, this is a great instrumental off of their release "Cannibal".

And finally some shameless self promotion for my band, released this guy last month.

It took a little bit for it to stick, but Little Dragon's new album has me hooked. Cool stuff from them, as usual.

@captain_max707: Yeah I liked a few songs from that album the first and only time I listened to it. I've been meaning to give it another listen or two, though.

@redbullet685: I'd say it's definitely worth another shot. It's pretty dang consistent in terms of quality, with Pink Cloud and Pretty Girls being standouts.

I can't stop/won't stop listening to that RiFF RAFF song now.

@kurtdyoung: My work here is done, then. That song is fantastic.

He he good to know I'm not alone :D

architects new album,every time i dies new album and beartooths first album are the best.

Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation

Really unique stuff here, featuring Dan from Revocation on guitars.

Archspire - The Lucid Collective

Canada has been putting out some of the best tech metal recently, and this album is no exception.

Abhorrent Castigation - Throne of Existential Abandonment

Sick, brutal, German death metal. Lille (Defeated Sanity, drums) really shines on this album.

Also @cgeare mentioned some fantastic albums. I am really digging your new album, great work.

To calm down from all the angry metal and rap out there, I love Finnish folk dude Joose Keskitalo's new album Ylösnousemus. Simplicity meets very morbid lyrics.

this album was amazing,just barely missed my top 3 albums.

Mac DeMarco - Salad Days

Aphex Twin - Caustic Window LP

Freddie Gibbs -Piñata

A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Sea When Absent

RiFF RaFF - NeON iCON

Owen Pallett - In Conflict

I don't like it as much as He Poos Clouds, but he took his sound in a new and interesting direction.
