I’ve enjoyed a lot of releases this year and was wanting to know if anyone else has too.  Which have been your favorites?
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Raconteurs and Tool so far for me. Am starting to listen to Lumineers and hoping it compares to their first two

    I have to go with Raconteurs and Tool as well.  Really enjoy The Black Keys and Vampire Weekend’s records as well.

    Tyler the Creator - IGOR
    or
    Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell

    Probably one of those. Lotta great records this year though.

    Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Servants Of The Sun 
    and close runner up ...
    The Claypool Lennon Delirium - South of Reality

    Sebadoh - Act Surprised
    Calexico & Iron And Wine - Years To Burn
    Foy Vance - From Muscle Shoals

    I only got hold of Foy Vance’s follow up ‘To Memphis’ a few days ago but it will almost definitely make the list. 

    I’m looking forward to the new ones from Joseph Arthur, Mark Lanegan, Neil & The Horse, and Magpie Salute too

    I heard one of the songs off of Karen O and Danger Mouses album last week.  It was really good, “Woman.”  I’ll have to check the rest of the album out.

    “Ministry” is extraordinary.

    Album of the Year:
    Oso Oso — Basking in the Glow

    Second place is Vampire Weekend. I'm surprised at how good the new Liam Gallagher is.

    Tool, who else? 
  • Glorified KCGlorified KC Posts: 2,672
    Mine would probably be Fear Inoculum, however I finally took the time to listen to Help Us Stranger and am hooked.

    That new/last Sheryl Crow cd has enough special guests on it to make it in the running for top 5 for 2019, for me

    THIS is a truly excellent release. IDK if we'll ever get another Portishead LP, but this made me want one even more. Its gorgeous.

    Tool has been mentioned a lot already. 

    I'd give a close second to the Reignwolf album. 

    But my most anticipated album in a LONG time comes out next week, October 4...Dermot Kennedy. 
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    Listened to the Black Pumas this morning.  Good record.

    Fear Innoculum is about the only decent album in the last 3 or 4 years and for me, its easily the best of that same time frame and it's not even close.

    Prior to that it was Hardwired for me. Rock has taken a beating in the last decade.   

    So two kick ass albums since Lightning Bolt.. rough wait for good music. Not even sure there is a 3rd album I could be bothered to stream unless it's like 2009 to 1950.

    Perhaps This Land by Gary Clarke Jr.
    But there were several good ones. Black Pumas by Black Pumas is amazing (their first album). Kevin Morby's Oh My God is pretty awesome. Foals released a good one too, and the Raconteurs. And Car Seat Headrest put out a really great live songs album called Commit Yourself Completely. There are more albums that I loved this year, but I'll stop there. I think 2019 was a pretty damn good year for album releases so far (I am mystified by the post right above mine!!). And Joseph Arthur has one coming out in October!!! And so does Michael Kiwanuka!!! I can't wait!

    Mdou Moctar - Ilana. I caught these guys at Wilco's Solid Sound festival and they were amazing, I played the CD all summer.

    Never having heard her before, I took a chance and I've actually spun the new Lana Del Rey album many times.

    Derbydave has the correct answer: Black Pumas
