Albums of the Year Lists: 2017 Edition

Theoretically.

Sounds like the early stuff though and I think it is probably all just part of the ruse.

I’d say it is D&I but could be wrong. Like the album either way.

good to see Richard Dawson getting the appreciation he deserves. personally preferred nothing important though to peasant

Glad someone else loved that Granddaddy album.

Just gave this a spin. Really, really good.

Absolutely feel you with regards to not wanting to ‘rank’ the Mt. Eerie record but acknowledging it regardless. Nice work.
