The promise wasn't good for the year 2017. I just re-read my post from last year and I feel like, despite of all the misery that has happened in 2017, no other year can be as bad as the year 2016. There seems to be a bit of new hope in the world now. I guess people have woken up to the awfulness that followed the Brexit vote and Trump's election. In music, many of these greatest albums touch on last year's events. I have found some amazing new artists, there are some phenomenal come-back albums and just generally really good new music. I haven't been quite as active in searching for new music this year, so it was a bit more difficult to compile this list of ten best albums, although, the top 5 was pretty clear for a while. There are various different styles in this list and it's difficult to say what would really be the correct order for these, but each one of these albums has offered some great emotions to me personally and that's why they've ended up in my top ten this year.
