Honestly I haven't kept up to date particularly this year so it'll probably look pretty different at the end of the year. Also I thought Shadows in the Night was just brill.

I think the Drake album is fine, and yeah Shadows in the Night is perfectly okay - I'm a huge Dylan fan but I'm probably not going to listen to it again in the foreseeable future.
TPAB > Section.80 > GKMC - but none of them have ever been close to being my AOTY, although I completely enjoy all three.
I think Currents is... not good. I've never liked Tame Impala but I almost wish he would just go back to ripping off Lennon.
The Epic bores me a lot - the middle part is pretty good, but as a whole I think it's way too smooth and pretty safe. I see what he's going for but, as I think I've said before, there's no reason for me to ever listen to it instead of Pharoah Sanders or Alice Coltrane.
The singles from In Colour are fine. I've heard some people saying "Loud Places" is the best song of the year and I think that's kind of ridiculous, but like it's catchy and the backing vocals are pretty cool, plus I'm into the songs it samples.
