2017 is a complete disappointment so far. no album has blown me away this year. I really like Crack-Up, async, and A Shadow in Time but even those didn't really blow me away desu. Everything 'not bad' has just been extremely okay. The new albums from Feist, Thurston Moore, Kendrick, Magnetic Fields etc. fit that bill. Even the new Arcade Fire is looking to be mediocre.

Its clearly the issue where the new releases this year are dominated by comeback albums and bands otherwise established in the 2000's with little to no new artists entering the industry at a notable scale. The 2010's do not have an Arcade Fire or a Fleet Foxes - bands that have achieved enormous critical acclaim alongside relative commercial success.

On mobile so I can't type too much but there's been some amazing releases this year.
Brendan Byrnes - Neutral Paradise (microtonal synthpop)
Clap! Clap! - A Thousand Skies (african influenced uk bass)
Tiny Hazard - Greyland (art pop) seriously this album is so bizarre and fun I love it
Hadouk - Le Cinquiéme Fruit (jazz)
I have so many more great albums from this year but these ones stood out to me the most.
