One might consider this as a best of list for 2018, however, this list is not based on best selling or most popular releases, instead, what you will find here is twenty of my favorite studio release for 2018.
If you are one that has an open mind and loves all that music has to offer, then I implore you to check out each of the following albums, which you have not heard before and give them a few full spins.
2018 was a year filled with a diverse array of tasty delights all of which were released on one more of the following formats; CD Digital and even Vinyl. The albums are shown and listed alphabetically and not in order of most essential release as this is not a competition for best of, I consider all of these as essential albums of 2018.
Hopefully, you will find a fairly decent list of bands and their music.
Thank you,
Un-qualified-Kritic.
