Top 20 Music Albums of 2018 by carpents 
I listened to more small/independent artists in 2018 than any previous year, and want to get some more exposure for them. (Including my release!)
I also give albums that I enjoy many listens, so I don't get to explore as many new albums as some.

Darker than her (really good) previous album, I like where she's going.

"The first time I tasted somebody else's spit/I had a coughing fit" is easily the worst lyric on the album, and a terrible start. I almost stopped the album to move on; I'm glad I didn't, because the rest of the opening song is terrific.
This album has some very high highs for me, but a couple songs have gotten a bit stale with repeated listens. Overall the album is great. [First added to this chart: 03/09/2019]

Was just a bit dull for me. Edit: Has grown on me a lot over the course of a year.

The songs are crisp, the guitars are excellent, and the backup vocalist on New Year's Eve is wonderful.

I've listened to 11 of these and 10 are in my yearly chart for now. That's a great hit ratio!
