Is it me or has 2017 been pretty fucking boring for music? Feel free to prove me wrong but I can't think of a single stand out album from the year

Kendrick, Vagabon, Mount Eerie, Arca, Jlin, Slowdive, Sampha, Perfume Genius, GAS, the xx, Ty Segall, Blanck Mass, Bing & Ruth, Syd, Future, Feist, and Jay Som to name a few. It's been a good year.

Oh, yeah. I was thinking about the limited edition re-release.
Anyway, Iron Reagan and Power Trip had releases this year.
>>73101752
Eeeh its pretty good but I'm still waiting for a full album.
Slowdive's album was underwhelming
Nothing much has really interested me this year, but thats normal I usually catch up after the new year

I haven't found anything really great yet but I'm sure there's some great obscure stuff that came out this year that I won't find for a while. it's just that the popular releases this year haven't been great, the underground stays great year round

That's right! I've been disappointed in pretty much all the releases from artists I was looking forward to hearing, but there's been so many good releases from artists I've never heard before.
Clap! Clap! - A Thousand Skies, African influenced uk bass, a really fun album, each track is short but have some great sounds.
Brendan Byrnes - Neutral Paradise, microtonal synthpop, a really excellent use of microtonality in this release, Byrnes has a good understanding of working outside the standard 12 tones, and manages to create tracks in a pop structure with some wicked microtonal sounds.
Hadouk - Le Cinquième Fruit, as someone who's not that keen on jazz, I liked this album a lot more than I thought. It must be the choice of instrumentation because it has a lot of flute and strings, which I enjoy quite a bit. I think this album definitely can appeal to a lot more people than just jazz fans.
Кpacнoзнaмeннaя Дивизия Имeни Moeй Бaбyшки – Пocмepтныe пpиключeния, this is a russian indie pop album, I was drawn into it by the colourful album colour, and the album itself didn't disappoint. A pretty fun listen.
Temples - Volcano, A neo-psychedelia album, it's got great synth sounds, memorable melodies, and keeps a pretty nice atmosphere throughout. I'm not sure if these guys are well known or not but this is my first experience with them.
PASSEPIED - &DNA, a Japanese pop album, nothing amazing but a fun listen, some cool melodies within it.

If any of these sound interesting to you, I recommend giving them a listen.
