Top 31 Music Albums of 2019

Man, this has not been a year that impressed me at all. So many halfassed albums that feel like a need to release *something* just because chronologically, it was time. So many failed experiments, or stylistic changes which are fine but not on par with artists' current quality threshhold. 2020 looks to be a great year, I'm really excited for new Pinegrove, 1975, Oh Wonder, Grimes, Foxing, Airborne Toxic Event, Tame Impala, even Green Day's "motown and soul" record sounds more exciting than most of what this year coughed out. There's half a dozen releases due Q1 2020 that I'd expect will be better than my AOTY. Bleh. Help. Send recs. Send good music. Make good music.
Not outta hope yet. Busta's Christmas mixtape taught me never to give up hope until January 1. But damn if there's been a whole lot of disappointing releases this year.

Alright, this was my surprise of the year so far. I've never heard of either of these guys, only found the album while trying to see what else billy woods has been up to after enjoying "Hiding Places", and this was his other 2019 feature. In doing what little research I could, it looks like stoneset is the producer and Teether the rapper? Both are new names in what appears to be the fairly new world of Australian underground hip hop. At its best moments, this album is able to hit some incredible chill beats and lackadaisical rhymes to just kinda float in, while still bringing enough energy to drive itself forward at other moments. I will say that there are moments where Teether (I think) sounds a little like a parody of MC Ride, and the general mumbling quality of his voice could grate after a while, but for whatever reason, it didn't really bother me, maybe due to it's relatively short run time at a little under 38 minutes. I'm not sure if these are the kinds of tunes I could casually slide into a playlist, but this is a project I see myself returning to. While the features didn't really stand out to me for the most part, the 4 tracks with features did have even better beats, with "To Sleep" probably being my favorite of the album.

Well, I was frustrated with some other artists for trying to drastically reinvent their sound, but it's all I can expect out of King Gizzard. This isn't bad, and it adds another element to their already almost comedically diverse and long discography, but there's something that feels oddly cheesey here? Like there's such an early XTC/Tuxedomoon delivery to the vocals as opposed to the usual for this genre that moments I'm sure were supposed to be politically charged and angry kinda just feel goofy? It's not overtly bad, but I almost wish they'd leaned into that delivery and some of that energy and done something more like the early days of New Wave, the like 77/78 takes on poppier post-punk, rather than leaned into the metal elements while also keeping that delivery. Whatever, it's fine. Just like everything this year. Am I just getting cynical?
