Cannot wait for the new Spoon album.

What other band out there has got better with every album over 9 albums?

Best band on the planet right now.

A Series Of Sneaks is their best album so don't agree with the overall point. Looking forward to their latest effort all the same.

Temples' is much better than their shite debut.

Agreed. The first one is pretty dire. Listened to the new one on the strength of the singles they have released and am very impressed.

Very disappointed with the new Brian Jonestown Massacre album, and not too impressed with Tift Merritt's either.

2. Deaf Havana - All These Countless Nights
3. Our Hollow, Our Home - Hartsick
4. Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - Modern Ruin
5. Decade - Pleasantries
6. Vant - Dumb Blood
7. WSTR - Red, Green or Inbetween
8. Ryan Hamilton & the Traitors - The Devil's in the Detail

1. Creeper - Eternity, In Your Arms.

2. Wiley - Godfather.

3. Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayers.

4. The Menzingers - After The Party.

5. Migos - Culture.

6. Sampha - Process.

7. Kehlani - SweetSexySavage.

8. Murs - Captain California

9. Big Sean - I Decided.

10. Rick Ross - Rather You Than Me.

 

Thought I'd jump in with an update. Apologies that mostly what I'm listening to at the moment is rap, I hear rumblings of a new Kendrick Lamar album very soon too.

I found Creeper on the new releases on Spotify, bloody outstanding album! I still have another 7/8 albums to listen to so expect a few more changes shortly

Also, are we classing Drake's latest effort as an album? Not listened to it yet but there's a good chance that once I do it could be top 10 material.

I was something of a Creeper sceptic until I gave the album a listen today.  I'd heard so much hype about them for the best part of a year and I just didn't think it could possibly live up to it.  Happy to say I was proven wrong.

Spoon's Hot Thoughts and Hurray for the Riff Raff's The Navigator are both top notch.  Two more terrific shows from SxSW, which I really can't recommend highly enough if you can afford it.

 

ETA: Hurray for the Riff Raff is/are just incredible live. The album's great, but try and catch them/her live.

Someone from Vampire Weekend has released an album under the name of Dams of the West. It's called Youngish American and I'm very much a fan of it. Not breaking into what's now a superb top 10 list for me but it's highly enjoyable.
