Following this last year's week list, it's time for me to talk about the format I listened to the most in 2017: albums. I've already mentioned the ones that disappointed me the most, and what's left is to to talk about the ones I loved the most. Firstly, I was trying to do a 75-albums list but I decided to narrow it down to just 50, and leave this space to recognise albums that I find pretty interesting and worth-consuming, but somehow couldn't make it to my list of favourites. These are the shoutouts I didn't want to stop mentioning and that I will certainly hope to go back in the future. They are ordered alphabetically because I didn't want to pose a hierarchy, since I like them in pretty much the same way or with the same amount of power. Here they are:
Converge - The Dusk In Us
A lustrous example of how to mesmerise with violence and cacophony.
Dale Crover - The Fickle Finger Of Fate
An exhilarating jam rock album from one of the most experienced drummers around.
Daniel Caesar - Freudian
Some majestic broken-hearted R&B songs that appeal, congeal and warm up at the same time.
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
If 2017 is to be a drama, let's love the fact this album serves as its script.
IDLES - Brutalism
Brutal songs that feel as gut-punching and cerebral as realistically necessary.
Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet
A clear example of self-service and self-improvement taken the form of a hell of a record.
Jens Lekman - Life Will See You Now
Some of the most charming and sympathetic soft pop songs of the year.
Protomartyr - Relatives In Descent
Another surpassing album that's as frenetic as menacing in its own ethos.
The Mountain Goats - Goths
A wonderful concept record from one of the most consistently lit bands out there.
The xx - I See You
The indie-going-popular band returns with their catchiest, liveliest album to surprisingly refreshing results.
