I'll do one for songs as well in a few days. That one will be even harder...

Pretty good year for me. Listened to 35 new albums, more than what I listened to last year (close to 30).

115 for me so far (lists like Alice's will give it a nice boost ), with Foals being the last one. That one might sneak into my top 10 after a few more listens.

[AliceMudgarden]

I've listened to 64 (78 if we count EPs). Still a lot I haven't got a chance to listen to like Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls, Kamasi Washington - The Epic (I think it's 3 hours+ long) a lot of rap, etc.

[Timotheus]

Still need to give The Epic a listen as well. Gonna do it before the end of the year, but time is kinda running out, lol. Divers as well. The stream of that album when it was released didn't work for me and it's not on Spotify. Might have to buy it, because the stuff I heard on Youtube was really good.
