THE BEST ALBUMS/SONGS OF THE MIDYEAR - 2018

Wow! We are already halfway through the year, man time is flying so fast. Either way, Today we are counting down the best albums & songs from the first half of 2018. And while 2018 hasn't exactly been a great year in music (esspecially for Billboard) but i still had to make some painfull cuts for my albums list for example, Parquet Courts, Evidence, Ghost, Caitlyn Smith, JPEGMAFIA, Anna von Hauswolff, Judas Priest, Screaming Females, & Lauren Ruth Ward. All of these artists have released albums that i thought were great this year but just missed the cut, but they still have a shot for my top 30 favorite albums of 2018 at the end of the year because tastes change. 

And now let's go to the list, but before that, i would like to shoutout some songs from albums that didn't make the list, but still deserve a shoutout because they're awesome:

And now (Couple months ago), they released their new ''Love is Dead'', how did it go? Sigh... I'm convlicted. Seriously, i was pretty worried about this album.

Now here is an EP that everyone has already forgotten about, i'm not a fan of The Weeknd, but this is still pretty boring and underwhelming. Best Songs: 'Hurt You' ft. Gesaffelstein, 'Wasted Times' Worst Song: 'Try Me' Rating: 5/10                        CHARLIE PUTH - VOICENOTES. Hey! This is actually a decent album, It's got some good grooves & melodies, but there are some low points on the album. So overall, decent album Charlie, this is an improvement.

Boyz II Men, 'Somebody Told Me', 'Slow It Down', 'Empty Cups', 'Attention' Worst Song: 'BOY' Rating: 6/10                      FRANK TURNER
