Many great albums were mentioned in this article and the best one out of those albums was crowned the superior album of 2018. Many, I am sure were probably expecting a more popular record to hold the title but it’s the lesser known albums out there that really pack true art and emotion. 2019 will bring even more great records, if 2018 is any indicator that music has reached a new level, then we have nothing to worry about in 2019!!!
