The 20 Best Albums of 2019 So Far
Which albums have impressed critics the most during the first half of the year? Above, we rank the best-reviewed LPs released between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019 by Metascore. Albums must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible, and resissues, EPs, live albums, and compilations are excluded.
Natalie Mering moves to Sub Pop for her fourth LP as Weyes Blood (and first since 2016's Front Row Seat to Earth). Mering co-produced the album (titled, presumably, after the fake Titanic sequel from Homecoming) with Jonathan Rado of Foxygen. The result is not just her best album to date—it's the best-reviewed release by anyone so far in 2019.
“Titanic Rising is a new thing, her own stamp on the world. Like all the best musicians and songwriters before her, she’s plumbed the depths of her imagination and brought forth a masterpiece from the depths.” —The Line of Best Fit
