The Best Albums Of 2018 (So Far)
Albums of the year so far banner
Damn Tony, back at it again with the music list! Indeed. But punny references to old memes aside — and ignore the fact that it's never quite a midyear or end of the year list — it's honestly one of my favorite things to share here.Music, as you may well have gathered, is a passion of mine. Passion? No, strike that, an obsession. And while I love spending quality alone time with a particular piece of music, what really tickles my pickle is sharing what I've been digging.These lists, of course, allow me to do that.Like all the midyear lists before it, the order is arbitrary, everything is worth a listen. To keep things somewhat manageable and less intimidating (or less to bite off and aurally chew on), I've only listed 15 albums. If you're craving more and really want the deep dive, both the Apple Music and YouTube playlists go much deeper.As always, enjoy the music, I hope some of it (if not all of it) finds its way into your soul :) 15.
