The Freshman 15: 2017's Best Debut Albums
While our final list of 2017's best albums won't arrive until later in our month, our best of 2017 coverage continues now with a look at the year's top newcomers.
Above is our list of the 15 best-reviewed debut albums of 2017, ranked by Metascore. Note that albums must have at least 7 reviews—and be a full LP, rather than an EP—to be eligible for inclusion. Albums are ranked by Metascore prior to rounding.
(#14) The five-year-old Washington, D.C. punk band finally put out a full-length album early this year, and the result is an expansion of the band's sound as first heard on EPs such as 2014's Bodies and Control and Money and Power.
“Nothing Feels Natural is a great debut from an exciting band; arguably the best debut of the year.” —Pretty Much Amazing
