BigRedX Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 There's still almost 2 months to go before the end of the year so it could all change, but right now my album of the year is "Love Made Me Do It" by Kat Von D which is completely 80s-tastic! I also liked "Flux" by Poppy, but it's a bit ordinary compared with her previous album "I Disagree" so not a contender IMO. PS why is this in "Off Topic"? It's a perfectly acceptable subject for "General Discussion". Or does the OP not consider their choice to be "music"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Can't choose just one, but my favourite albums of 2021 so far are: Becky Becky - Maraca The Anchoress - The Art of Losing Gojira - Fortitude Jean Michel Jarre - Amazonia Adrian Smith & Richie Kotzen - Smith/Kotzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Warning prog content.... OK now that's out the way the two I have most favoured have been Fish's final studio album Weltsmerz and also Big Big Train's latest Common Ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think there's 2 that have really stood out for me. Dead Daisies - Holy Ground and Cory Wong's Paisley Park Sessions with Sonny T on bass. TBH I've only bought a few 2021 releases so far, and several of them have involved Cory Wong. Wildhearts '21st Century Love Songs' gets an honourable mention though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfacefour Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I bought a lot more new music last year. This year I've been rediscovering more old stuff or catching up from last year. On rotation the most has been Little Simz - sometimes I might be introvert. Skip the overblown first track though... And Anthony Joseph - The rich are only defeated when running for their lives. Some we'll put together jazz poetry with reggae influence. https://anthonyjosephofficial.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javi_bassist Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Angels and Airwaves- Lifeforms Biffy Clyro - The myth of the happily ever after Morgan - the river and the stone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Culture Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Agree about The Art of Losing - absolutely superb. However, my favourite album this year is a reissue - the magnificent, peerless, bombastic Everything Picture by Ultrasound. Tunetastic semi-prog from 'could have been contenders'.

I’m not sure if I’ve bought anything new this year, I’ve discovered lots of new to me stuff and bought my son lots of classic albums to encourage his maturing music taste, 12 and he listens to Talking Heads and other ‘grown up stuff’ he’s also an annoyingly good guitar player.

The overall sound is massive. Definitely one to play loud. Possibly my favourite metal album of the last decade. Really enjoying this. I've not kept up to speed with metal this century but will do some exploring after this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think I've only bought 2 albums this year, both new releases though. Richie Kotzen and Adrian Smith's Smith/Kotzen album is a great collection of songs, definitely one of my favourites at the moment. My favourite of the year though is Eliza Shaddad's album The Woman You Want. I saw her support Turin Brakes a few years ago and she was brilliant. I'm really pleased that In The Morning is on the album, just a fantastic song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, They've definitely been on form over the last few years. The Mission was excellent and they've followed it up with another solid release....! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I've only bought one this year - Ellen Foley's new album Fighting Words. She's still got what it takes: https://ellenfoley.bandcamp.com/album/fighting-words I bought an autographed CD rather than a digital copy as I figured she'd make a bit more from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
