I've been waiting on this for a long time. My friend and I obsessed over Swim when it was released back in 2014. We completely forgot the group even existed until it popped up in New Releases on Spotify.

I have low expectations for Florence+ The Machine after hearing the first single, probably another good, but not great album. It seems like 2018 is going to be worse than 2017 (last year was not perfect, but good anyway). In 2017 I had 15 great albums, 12 good ones, 0 average and 10 bad albums. This year almost at halfway point I have only 5 great ones and I'm expecting only 4 more of those, 5 good, 4 average, only 2 bad ones (I feel like I've been avoiding those) and 7 others by bands I don't know and have no expectations, just a feeling that none of them will be amazing. If I want average or bad albums, I think I just have to listen to the most mainstream stuff.
Hey everyone, just a reminder that if you're doing your lists with custom font colors, do NOT use an actual RGB/hex code for your "normal" text. There are multiple forum skins in use on the LPA, so when you mark your text to be black or white, it makes your post a little more difficult to read (and, let's face it, less aesthetically pleasing) to read on the dark or light themes respectfully. If you take out your black/white tags, it allows the forum's native theme to take hold for easier visibility. This message brought to you by a guy using a dark forum theme that makes the above post's black text unnecessarily difficult to read.

It's May and I've only listened to like, 3 or 4 albums from 2018. I'm currently bumping the new Cardi B, Drake, Migos and Post Malone, and one of those isn't even an actual album (Drake). King's Dead by Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future & James Blake is my song of the year so far. Can't get that shit out of my head I'm gonna go ahead and add... Tell Me How You Really Feel by Courtney Barnett Kids See Ghosts by Kanye West & Kid Cudi Post Traumatic EP by Mike Shinoda Beyondless by Iceage Apart EP by Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson Uniform Distortion by Jim James There's also the new Pusha T and Nas albums produced by Kanye, Earl Sweatshirt, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Drake, Frank Ocean, Blood Orange...
