I think it’s fair to say that 2018 has been a phenomenal year for new albums, and I believe this poll, undertaken by our core contributors, is testament to that. What stands out for me is the remarkable diversity of musical genres included here. No snobbery here at God Is In The Tv, no sirree, as pop meets metal and rap shakes hands with electronica, Americana and fiercely primal punk (amongst many other styles). I’m sure you will have your own favourite, and if it’s missing from both parts of our list today and on Monday, why not let us know? We’d hate to miss out! – Loz Etheridge, Albums Editor.
