Top 100 Music Albums of 2017 by 
babyBlueSedan 
Alright, 2017. As always, here are the rules for my post-2013 year charts:
1. Everything I listen to this year will be added here, regardless of whether it's amazing or awful. If I listen to over 100 albums I'll throw out some albums I didn't have much of an opinion on (not necessarily the lowest rated ones).
2. Every album will have a comment. Comments early in the year will be longer and well thought out, and as the year goes on they'll get lazier and some of them will just say "good". It's inevitable.
3. Anything with a final rating of 70 or higher will be added to my collection. I'll list the number of "keepers" in this description. Anything with a 65 comes recommended but in the end was too inconsistent or bland for me. 60s are meh and anything under that I wouldn't really recommend.
33 keepers so far this year.

Pure morbid curiosity? I thought my average rating for this year was a little high so I listened to this.
To my surprise, I didn't hate the lyrics as much as I thought I would. I couldn't stand ILYH because of how self satisfied it was, and I figured with Tillman preaching about the evils of the world it would be even worse. I thought this mostly because of the early song Two Wildly Different Perspectives, which basically boils down to "people have difference viewpoints and don't try to see each others' sides". I thought the rest of the album would be this same type of pointing out the obvious. Which it is for the most part, but there are actually some poignant moments here. Leaving LA is a long, mostly worthless song but the end part about him choking on candy in a department store somehow felt meaningful. Maybe just because that bit felt like a post-Among the Leaves Kozelek song. I also like how the song ends on an unfinished thought, though if not for Fillmore Jive doing the same thing I'd think it was pointless and pretentious. The rest isn't worth writing about.
I also don't like Tillman's sugary, boring voice or the string/piano backing that makes every song feel the same. [First added to this chart: 10/26/2017]
