This is also a "frick off" to the ones who think "rock is dead"

I'm not being sarcastic.

Brand New's album is good?

I haven't listened to them since Deja Entendu, but that was a good album.

This is hard. I feel that this year has been insanely deep, and there are so many good albums that have came out in the past month or two, I'm still trying to catch up, so this will likely change. But for now:

The War on Drugs- A Deeper Understanding
Big Thief- Capacity
The National- Sleep Well Beast
LCD Soundsystem- American Dream
The New Pornographers- Whiteout Conditions
Slowdive- Slowdive
Sorority Noise- You're Not As _____ As You Think
Charly Bliss- Guppy
Fleet Foxes- Crack Up
Priests- Nothing Feels Natural

Honorable Mention or Need to listen to a bit more:
The Magnetic Fields
Cloud Nothings
Japandroids
Grizzly Bear
Broken Social Scene
Brand New
Manchester Orchestra
Kendrick Lamar
Alvvays
Everything Everything
Spoon
Mount Eerie

Flying Microtonal Banana is better, in my opinion.

A lot of the usual suspects, so I won't go into those. One album that I'm surprised so many people are sleeping on is that fantastic Kevin Morby album, City Music. It's certainly not the most ambitious or technically impressive album I've heard this year, but it might be the one I've listened to the most.

Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
Spoon - Hot Thoughts
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound
Roger Waters - Is This The Life We Really Want?
Conor Oberst - Salutations
Dan Auerbach - Waiting On A Song
Nicole Atkins - Goodnight Rhonda Lee

Also, based on the 4 or 5 songs I've heard so far, I'm definitely expecting Josh Ritter's new album to be near the top of my list once it gets released.

Chris Stapleton- For a room: volume 1
Gone is Gone- Echolocation
Mastodon- Emperor of Sand
All them Witches- Sleeping through the War
Toadies- Lower Side of Uptown


I'm not saying they are the best but those are the only albums I have bought that have came out in 2017. I picked up a bunch of albums that came up in 2015 and 2016 late last year and early this year.


I did preorder Mastodon's EP that comes out September 22nd.
