I might have missed out on some stuff too. I wasn’t being sarcastic or anything. I really am open to the possibility that I’m wrong.

But what I’ve noticed is a lot of OK albums by good or formerly good artists, a lot of albums that are supposed to be good by newer artists that are actually quite boring, a shitload of truly mediocre releases from indie legacy bands like Iron & Wine, Grizzly Bear, Arcade Fire, GY!BE, etc., and a handful of really mind-blowing albums that are either be super obvious (like Kendrick) or went by without making any waves at all (like Blanck Mass’s excellent “World Eater”).

Some artists I really admire like Ben Frost have come out with good albums that are also their least remarkable.

I was pleasantly surprised by a few records in the rock realm, but not a lot. Yossarians, Milk Music, a few others I can’t recall just now.

I dunno. Feels like a very so-so year.
