There is no reason to postpone this anymore, and I have some free time, so I've decided to finalize my list and share it. 2018 has been a very great year for me, both musically and in terms of my personal life, but of course this post will be about the former. Different than last year, I have, for the first time, used a spreadsheet to note and systematically follow the new releases. In the beginning of the year it was more structured and after September I decided to keep it a bit more relaxed, but I feel like I did a good job of catching a lot of exciting new music. Haven't seen many shows since I don't live in NYC anymore, but managed to listen to a lot of (I believe around 800) albums. I'm probably missing some albums regardless, but it's an impossible task to do. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to keep up the same tempo next year, but I'm hopeful I'll try my best.
Honorable Mentions
Below is a list for some of the albums that I haven't picked for my top 100, but wanted to mention regardless. If you're looking for Robyn, DJ Koze, Mitski, etc. in this list, you will be disappointed. It's not that I didn't enjoy these albums, but they are on every other list, and I wanted to keep this HM list more focused on underrated albums. Here it is:
Against All Logic - 2012-2017 Ati ve Ask Ucgeni - Gecenin Karanliginda Autechre - NTS Sessions Bruce - Sonder Somatic bvdub - Drowning in Daylight Colin Stetson - Hereditary OST Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want Django Django - Marble Skies Eindkrak - Brullend Staal Elz and The Cult - Psychodrama Gang Gang Dance - Kazuashita GAS - Rausch Gruff Rhys - Babelsberg Gwenifer Raymond - You Never Were Much of a Dancer HVL - Ostati Jaye Jayle - No Trail and Other Unholy Paths Joey Dosik - Inside Voice Jon Hassell - Listening to Pictures Joyfultalk - Plurality Trip Leon Vynehall - Nothing Is Still Michael Price - Tender Symmetry Mutual Benefit - Thunder Follows the Night Neneh Cherry - Broken Politics Ólafur Arnalds - re:member Portico Quartet - Untitled (AITAOA #2) Ryuichi Sakamoto - Async - Remodels Smino - Noir Soft Kill - Savior Son Lux - Brighter Wounds Wye Oak - The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs

And of course, thank you all for all the suggestions throughout the year. Here's to a great 2019!
Fuck sake, I can keep on trying to check up on albums I've missed but there's gotta be a point where I gotta tell myself "Okay Bing, enough albums checked out! Onto the next year!" and I'm probably not the only one with that kind of feeling. According to RateYourMusic (I saw in the AoTM19 thread someone looking for new releases, well here's my recommendation) I listened to 500+ different records (albums, mixes, eps, scores)which is the most I've ever done and will probably try to slow it down a bit next year on aswell. Another thing that made it very easy to keep up making these lists is again using RYM and only add the ones I really liked in one list which ended up being my AotY list now but yeah, because as you can imagine if you try to order 3/4/500 different records that's a hell of a job, no? So, that made it a lot easier this year and that's also the reason why I scewed it down to 50 and not 100 or whatever.

Last Edit: Dec 19, 2018 13:05:56 GMT -5 by Pea - Back to Top
lists keep getting posted and I keep seeing stuff I never listened to/don't remember/never heard of. My list may never be finished.
This is how I am every year. I hear about new things or get reminded of albums that I either forgot to listen to or never got a chance to go back to and really evaluate. Eventually, you just have to draw a line and know that comments are coming about things you left off. Invariably, garageland asks me why some album is not on my list and it's usually because I had forgotten about it rather than me not enjoying it.
Not posting my list yet since there's still a few albums I need to listen to, but here's some I feel that haven't gotten as much recognition around here:
Autopilote // Mai Lan (I know a lot of you liked the really dumb indie dance-pop of Confidence Man and The Presets, so...) Bad Habit - EP // Your Smith (still one of the best from Minneapolis!!) Deus É Mulher // Elza Soares (they're totally different genres, but especially recommended for those who liked the Angélique Kidjo version of Remain in Light) Miserable Miracles // Pinkshinyultrablast (I'm a big Pinkshinyultrablast evangelist but really if you still like Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, you'll like this) Temet // Imarhan (I know the comparison is obvious but this is like if Tinariwen was good.) WASTEISOLATION // Black Dresses (super cathartic noise pop)
lists keep getting posted and I keep seeing stuff I never listened to/don't remember/never heard of. My list may never be finished.
I'd had simply giving up haha, plus I don't think it really matters that much to include a record you now only just discovered to end up leaving records out you listened a lot throughout the year.
