Coming off of a previous year I described as lackluster, this is more like it. 38 albums in total, but more importantly, I had a particularly difficult time picking the top 10 for this year. The top 3-4 proved especially difficult – I was pretty certain after a while that Noname’s “Room 25”, perhaps the peak of what one can accomplish with the “personal is political” mantra, was going to take the top spot, but was I prepared to admit that Cardi B’s pop triumph “Invasion Of Privacy” was better than Parquet Courts’ best album yet? And so, apparently, was Tropical Fuck Storm’s unrelenting “A Laughing Death In Meatspace”? It hurt me to rank some of these things the way I did, but because of this, I’m fairly confident that you could pull any of the top 10 albums at random and have a great time regardless. Just make sure to watch the videos for Tierra Whack’s album, too, since they’re a whole work of art in themselves (it’s 15 minutes of your life for one of the most creative hip-hop visual spectacles of the century so far, come on, just do it).

What’s more, typing out the rest of the list made me realize what an awesome year this was simply by how many I realized I was sad to have to leave out of the top 10. Let me tell you, in any number of weaker years (like the last, or perhaps the next one, as you’ll see), contributions by Speedy Ortiz, Superchunk, Open Mike Eagle, Harriet Tubman, No Age, The Pistol Annies, Saba, Amber Mark and more would have made it into that upper tier. It’s a true testament to the strength of this year’s releases that they didn’t; I would strongly recommend checking out much of the second-tier list as well if you’re looking for the outstanding accomplishments in hip-hop, country, indie rock, desert rock and believe it or not, avant-garde jazz (Sons Of Kemet deserve a shout-out here, too, for their unique brass band approach).

One strange quirk I’ve noticed about this year is that it features several artists who seem either to have peaked here, releasing a lesser follow-up in the next few years, or who have yet to release a follow-up at all. Parquet Courts, No Age, Noname, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, The Internet, Cardi B, Tierra Whack, Mitski, Superorganism and sadly even Tropical Fuck Storm and the aforementioned Sons Of Kemet all fall into these categories to varying extents. Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong in some way on at least a few of those soon, but even if they don’t bounce back, many of those artists can rest easy knowing they’ve created at least one masterpiece, which is more than most can say.

Speaking specifically to a few trends I noticed from the previous year, I will acknowledge that “mainstream”-leaning pop remains under-represented here, though I think this may just be my general bias as a critic to ignore most of it or even to recognize that the stuff that makes it on to my radar as interesting enough to write about is still too inconsistent to make a year-end list in terms of quality. Then again, I put Cardi B, breakout pop-star of the year, at #2, so you can’t complain too much there. Second, I should clarify that while I said in the previous year’s essay that I was ready to re-listen to Mount Eerie’s follow-up grieving-process album “Now Only”, I ultimately felt that it couldn’t hold its own against the other albums I selected for this year’s list. Which, again, is just an indication of how good 2018 was; nothing against “Now Only”, it’s still a very good album and you should listen to it if you...enjoyed(?) “A Crow Looked At Me”.

Finally, I’m glad to see a bit more music from outside the “western” pop sphere sneaking onto this year’s list as well. Thiago Nassif’s Tom Zé-like “Três” made the very end of the top 10, but you’ll find Guatemala’s Doctor Nativo, Nigeria’s Kah-Lo, Niger’s Tal National, Algeria’s Imarhan and Mali’s Salif Keita elsewhere on the list, each of which is worth checking out and each of which brings their own unique sound to the table. And on a sadder note, it’s still hard for me to believe SOPHIE is no longer with us after releasing such a final masterwork as “Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides”. We truly lost a once-in-a-generation talent with her.

Guatemala, Je t’aime!

Je vais partager avec vous l'une des expériences les plus extraordinaires que j'ai vécues dans ma vie, et elle s'est produite au Guatemala il y a deux ans.

J'ai rencontré un ami au Costa Rica quelques mois avant mon voyage au Guatemala et il m'a recommandé de visiter un volcan nommé Acatenango, il a dit que l'ascension de ce volcan était une expérience facile, court et magnifique. Il m'a dit cela parce qu'il savait que j'y allais et aussi parce qu'il savait que j'aimais la randonnée. À ce moment-là, j'ai eu un problème de santé et je n'ai pas pu essayer de faire une randonnée intense, c'est ce que le médecin m'a dit.  Mais j'ai décidé d'y aller parce qu'il m'a littéralement assuré : Tu vas adorer l'expérience!

Une fois au Guatemala, j'ai pris toutes les dispositions nécessaires pour visiter l'endroit. J'y étais avec ma meilleure amie et elle m'a dit qu'elle voulait aussi faire cette randonnée, mais elle n'était pas sûre de pouvoir, mais à la fin elle a accepté.   La randonnée est faite avec des indigènes locaux, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus belle, car leur relation avec la nature est quelque chose d'admirable. C'est ce que nous a dit le guide avant de commencer : Ce que vous allez visiter est une partie importante de notre histoire, car ce volcan était là avant nous et il restera une fois que nous aurons quitté cette terre. Alors, nous ferons cette visite avec patience et respect.  Le 1er jour, nous avons marché 6 heures jusqu'au camp de base, et 2 belles choses se sont produites :  Le premier. Nous avons entendu et senti le volcan à chaque fois qu'il faisait de petites éruptions et la seconde, nous avons dû passer toute la nuit devant le volcan actif, à écouter ses éruptions et à voir la lave tomber tout le temps, comme vous pouvez l'imaginer, nous n'avons jamais pu dormir et nous avons aussi dû nous réveiller à 4 heures du matin pour gravir le sommet de notre montagne.  Le deuxième jour, nous avons marché 2 heures (de 3h à 5h) pour voir le lever du soleil, le volcan actif et les 2 océans. 

Quand je suis arrivé au sommet de la montagne, quelque chose de magnifique s'est produit. Ce jour-là, après un an et demi de maladie, je ne me voyais plus comme un homme avec un problème de santé mais seulement comme une personne normale et en bonne santé.
