windsock - I had it around 39 last I checked. I might do a "Honorable Mentions" post later where I give other albums I enjoyed outside the top 30 their due.
Blarobbarg: Vier is a godsend to anyone who loves the cosmic majesty that Yes had up to around 1975 or so. It would be a top class prog record in any year, but it definitely made 2018 for me.
Unitron: Lead Me To The Glow was a bizarre experience the first time I ran across it: it has a lot of great familiar elements that I enjoy in yacht rock and psychedelic rock, but utilizes those elements in headscratching ways. After three spins I became convinced its a masterpiece of sorts though.
OccultHawk: That was what struck me about Avantdale Bowling Club too: you don't see that many hip-hop records out there where the jazz elements are utilized super effectively outside of the whole chilled (but played out) Nujabes aesthetic.
