Here's Stereogum's list of the best albums of 2017

 

The publication named Melodrama the best album of 2017

This is the THIRD time the album has been named the best album of 2017, by a major publication

 

Some praise from the post: 

"Lorde’s Melodrama is a work of pure pop alchemy, a carefully-crafted collection of songs that speaks to a very particular, universal trauma: the first heartbreak."

"She emerged an auteur with a refined point of view and an album that is distinctly her own."

"Lorde employs a series of distinctly feminine archetypes — the ecstatic romantic, the crazy ex-girlfriend, the hysterical female, the withdrawn sad girl, the daughter of a mother — without ever settling into one comfortable persona that best encompasses her market. There’s so much power in that, both as a young woman and as a young pop musician fated to be prepackaged a certain way. "

"She’s a self-possessed pop star becoming a generational icon on her own terms."

I agree. That album really is exceptional and gets really close to create its own genre. It's the best album.

 

It's a good list. I think Father John Misty's album is a bit higher than it should, but overall I agree with the list.
