This year came together crazily the past week or so. I had no clue what my top 10 looked like. Now I definitely know what albums, and even have some incredible ones that won't make the list. Embarrassment of riches lately.

Huge statement but it's definitely top 3 with that and No Heroes. It's fucking great.

Not really feeling a lot of NLDW honestly. It just feels like a lot of unfinished/rushed ideas.

Many have said the scaled back sound of the album was intentional and that the beats were supposed to sound more minimal. It's not nearly as good as The Money Store but I still really enjoy the album.

It's not a bad listen overall but Lock Your Doors - Stockton is kind of a drag, besides Whammy. Whammy is my shit

I'm not feeling Lock Your Doors or World of Dogs and the songs up until the last three are good, but not great. The first three and the last three songs though are fucking brilliant.
