Bjork - Fossora
This one may be one of her best.

Viagra Boys - Cave World

I didn't actually buy a lot of new music this year, but I am getting a lot of mileage out of Harry's House. Or, Madonna's Finally Enough Love is up there even though it's a compilation.

Alvvays Blue Rev.

Hand down the best surprise of the year.

Future Teens - Self Help

Though I will say I am having a hard time deciding this year so it could change.

A few of my favourite releases of 2022

Warkrusher - Epitaph
Tormentum - Demo 2022
Terminal Filth - Death Driven
Chronic Blackouts - Triumph in Flames
War//Plague - Manifest Ruination

Eric Hilton - Lost Dialect
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lV08OfC3Mzr2lgRJtU6Hkei5tpWpxkLQo
Fourth solo release from half of the downtempo duo Thievery Corporation, it has all the stuff you love about his style. Big fan.

Or

Jack White - Fear of the Dawn
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n2w-rXn2Fhfb1VxMCPFMD353OrHsxosfo

Really dig this new weird electronic sound that Jack is working on, starting with Boarding House Reach and taken further here, while still having a couple bluesier rock tracks. His other release this year Entering Heaven Alive is a bit slower and more typical blues garage rock.

Honorable mentions to:
The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention
Angelique Francis - Long River
Pink Floyd - Animals 2018 Remix (yes it came out this year)
Carole King - Home Again (live set outside in New York during that tour)
Dredg - Leitmotif (20th anniversary reissue)
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II (repress)

He remade Comfortably Numb into a slower, stripped down version as the opener for his This is Not a Drill tour, released it as a single earlier this year I think.

Absolutely agree. Can't stop listening to it.

I think the only full albums I listened to are The Weeknd and Adele. I'll say The Weeknd.

The Halo Effect - Days of the Lost. Love me some melodeath and these lads pull it off in spades

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava

The Weeknd - Dawn FM
Gospel - The Loser
Death Cab for Cutie - Asphalt Meadows
JID - The Forever Story
Special Interest - Endure
NNAMDI - Please Have A Seat
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, & Lava
Wormrot - Hiss
Titus Andronicus - The Will to Live
Built to Spill - When the Wind Forgets Your Name

idk these are just ten albums that came to mind. I listened to 500+ new albums this year and could never really narrow it down

The Chosen - Enterprise Earth
Eternal Steel - I AM
Ghetto Gods - Earthgang
Forever Story - JID

David & Nick did way better then.

Can't really call it an "album", tho.

Arctic Monkeys - The Car
The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention

Not sure how I feel about the Animals 2018 remix. It's good but I've gotten so used to the little production quirks of the original mix that the differences feel weird to my ears.

City of Caterpillar had an awesome return with Mystic Sisters too.

This is so fucking good.

Tormentum - Demo 2022

https://youtu.be/--IYsVAH9II

Quite a few.

Napalm Death - Resentment Is Always Seismic
Annihilator - Metal II
Ghost - Impera
Crematory - Inglorious Darkness
Amon Amarth - The Great Heathen Army
Megadeth - The Sick, The Dying And The Dead
Ozzy Osbourne - Patient Number 9

Out of those, probably Amon Amarth.

This is the best album of the year for d-beat.

Chronic Blackouts - Triumph In Flames

https://youtu.be/oZRDQO3ulEs

Un Verano Sin Ti - Bad Bunny

Tchornobog/Abyssal split - https://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/album/tchornobog-abyssal
