Completely slipped my mind - I was apprehensive at first but am really enjoying after repeated listens. Most likely in my top 10 and climbing.

Only a handful. My favorite there is the Nils Frahm record, but serving my point, not his best work imo. Lots of interesting stuff on the list though that I will check out. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think I've been blown away by a single album this year, and by that I mean I don't think there's any 2018 I've been able to add to my casual listening repertoire, other than Mid-Air Thief's Crumbling (still probably my AOTY). Doesn't mean there haven't been great ****in albums this year (like the Gendel and Wilkes collab or the new Daughters record) but they just haven't connected with me enough to make me love them. Maybe I really do have to pick up streaming so I can listen to more things whenever and wherever.

I'd be interested to know which ones you end up liking.

I don't even really know what the "talked about" albums are.

I've seen that album get attention on MB and I remember Fantano talking about it. But I didn't notice it being talked about much on the net in general.

I feel like I should be able to at least remember a few records that were very hyped many places on the web this year, but I'm blanking out when I'm not allowing a bit of memory-aid by way of Googling music sites.
