The beautiful Florence Welch returned in 2018 with her first album in three years! High As Hope is powerful and Florence’s most personal album yet. Outside of a good front to back listen, the album produced some great singles that will be great when The 1975 finally premieres their stage show for the album in 2019.Ĥ. What also makes A Brief Inquiry a great album is that it follows a theme and it uses some great transitionary songs.
The album sees a level of maturity as it covers big topics such as mental health, politics, and death. Lyrically, Matty Healy tackles what it’s like living in the modern world, especially with everyone in their Internet bubble. It mixes heavy production, with guitars, and the occasionally jazzy symphony. The album is a mix of everything we love about the British band. The 1975 never seems to disappoint, and in 2018, the band hit us with their third album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships.

There are even some soft, acoustic tracks woven into the mix, and there’s emotion in every single one of the songs. From the heartache in opener “Never Sure,” to the classic upbeat and perfect-for-driving song, “If I Were You,” the album is solid. Sunnyland shows maturity but also emulates everything we love about Mayday Parade. Sure, Mayday Parade might have been the soundtrack to your emo days, but in 2018 the Florida boys are back with arguably the best album since their debut album in 2007.

The album tackles the struggles of coping with death and learning how to move forward through hardship, even when it isn’t easy. Post Traumatic was made in the wake of the passing of Chester Bennington, Mike’s close friend and bandmate. Then again, as a member of Linkin Park, Shinoda is no stranger to success. Post Traumatic may be Mike Shinoda’s first solo album, but we think he deserves to be on the list among some of today’s top alternative artists. One must-hear song from Thank You for Today is its closer, “60 & Punk,” a song showing that your heroes aren’t always what they seem. Their two singles “Gold Rush” and “Northern Lights” have also seen a lot of play on alternative radio stations. Thank You for Today is an album that shows growth and honesty through stories of changing times and swelling instrumentals. The reason why Ben Gibbard and his crew are so successful is that they’re always willing to try something new while still sticking to their iconic sound.
