E2018: another year<\/h2>

you already know what it is. musical releases i liked a lot this year.<\/p>

with the exception of the Top One\u2122 and the Top Ten\u2122 – the list acts as a sort of “hey i listened to this 2018 release and i liked it”. some i listened to more than others. consider this a selection of good albums released in 2018.<\/p>

RULE #1: if you like the album art, you must listen to it!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>

and if reading album titles and looking at album art isn’t your style, here’s a spotify playlist of a few songs from each. unless the album isn’t on spotify. then go to their bandcamp and listen (and purchase).<\/p>

to summarize: music is rad<\/p>

Top One\u2122 Album Of The Year<\/h2>

Black Moth Super Rainbow – Panic Blooms (Rad Cult)<\/h3>

\"a0434497548_10\"<\/p>

This album hit the right spot the most times. I like how goopy it sounds. By far one of my most listened to albums this year. Seeing them live in support of this album added to my appreciation of it. It’s this other-worldly goop mix of sounds. Perfect music to soundtrack melting into couches.<\/p>
