I would say Inviting Light is in my top 5 as of now, it hasn't connected with me quite like After the Party though.

 

Dua Lipa is not in enough of these lists.

 

Agreed, also SZA

 

Y'all gotta check out Limitless Lee's new record. It's sick.

Paramore - After Laughter
Richard Edwards - Lemon Cotton Candy Sunset

Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up
Kendrick Lamar - Damn.
The Menzingers - After The Party

so far, 2017 > 2016

 

I have a clear top three.
1. The Menzingers: After the Party
2. Kendrick Lamar: Damn
3. Father John Misty: Pure Comedy

 

I haven't done a huge amount of listening so far but as of now my list of favorite would be:

1. Ryan Adams - Prisoner
2. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound
3. Tigers Jaw - Spin
4. Spoon - Hot Thoughts
5. Rise Against - Wolves

I expect this list to grow and change in the next few months. I'm anticipating a couple that I expect will change my top 5 quite a bit.

Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile To The Surface
Brand New - @Kevin360 (release date TBA)
HAIM - Something To Tell You
PBTT - (if they release something)
Rainer Maria - S/T

There are more but I can't remember what else is coming out!

 

Fuck... wasn't expecting to see this thread for a couple weeks. I've got a general idea but I'll make a proper list tomorrow... and update my cumulative list.

 

My top ten:

1. Paramore- After Laughter (I highly doubt this will move from the number one spot by the end of the year)
2. New Found Glory- Makes Me Sick
3. Bleachers- Gone Now
4. Diet Cig- Swear I'm Good at This
5. Tigers Jaw- Spin
6. A Will Away- Here Again
7. Cayetana- New Kind of Normal
8. Adult Mom- Soft Spots
9. '68- Two Parts Viper
10. Eisley- I'm Only Dreaming

Most Anticipated:
Manchester Orchestra
Julien Baker

 

these are the only albums I've really liked so far this year, no order:

Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
The Menzingers - After the Party
A Will Away - Here Again
Code Orange - Forever
Chris Stapleton - Songs from A Room: Vol. 1
New Found Glory - Makes Me Sick
Paramore - After Laughter
Tigers Jaw - SPIN
Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound

Anticipating:
Manchester Orchestra
Turnover
Pianos Become the Teeth (currently recording/just finished)
Citizen
Circa Survive
Prawn
Copeland
La Dispute (hopefully)

Pinegrove are recording, but i bet that comes out early next year instead of really late this year. that would be awesome though. 2017 hasnt seemed as good as 2016 so far, but we'll see how the 2nd half goes.

 

1. Bleachers - Gone Now
2. Paramore - After Laughter
3. Lorde - Melodrama
4. The Maine - Lovely, Little Lonely
5. All Time Low - Last Young Renegade
6. Kendrick Lamar - Damn.
7. The Menzingers - After the Party
8. Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
9. Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 3
10. Charly Bliss - Guppy
11. John Mayer - the Search for Everything
12. The Mountain Goats - Goths
13. Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up
14. Portugal. the Man - Woodstock
15. Young Thug - Beautiful Thugger Girls

Those last 4 I still need more time with, and could very easily end up higher on this list. Pretty much based on my first impressions.

 

I'll probably have a tentative list up within a week. Lorde kinda fucked up my top 5, so I've been dealing with that. I also need to make sure I hear the Planetarium album from Sufjan before committing to anything.

 

I'll probably get mine out next week.
