There's like 50-70 albums left on my wanted list for 2018 alone (got one for several previous years as well), so it's gonna have to wait until I run out of things that I'm more excited about. Gotta admit that it's not super close to the top of that list.

I do want the album, even if the singles didn't quite make me feel super hyped.

But her two previous albums had some immortal tracks, so I wanna give her the benefit of the doubt.

It's super fun, and it's got some AMAZING songs, but I don't feel like the whole album is worth AOTY.

But damn "Make Me Feel" is the ****ing jam that my bi heart needed this year.

Julia Holter's new album blew me the **** away and is my current frontrunner. I'm expecting the new JID album to make some waves on my list too. This album is in some serious need of some dicksucking from MB.

and their masterpiece.

Great Milenko.

I mentioned a while ago in the last bought/listened to thread how I bought the previous album of hers to set me up for getting into this one, so I'm gonna get around to buying it if I like her style at all.

I'm honestly leaning towards Drogas Wave by Lupe Fiasco.

now here's the aoty we've all been waiting for:

I need a lot more time to decide which one is my favorite, but here's the 30 albums that are in the running by virtue of being new albums that I've actually bothered buying this year:

^Honestly I was kind of disappointed by the new Arkona. Not that I thought it was bad, but it just didn't have the instant appeal to me that the majority of their albums have. Maybe I'd like it better on a second listen though.
