Non-Metal Honorable Mentions of 2017

Here's a partial lise of non-metal albums I considered for my top 10. Albums listen in (pretty much) alphabetical order.

Colin Stetson - All This I Do For Glory - Electronic and Bass Saxomophone.

Eddie Palmieri - Sabiduria - Lost track of him since 2005's Listen Here. Good latin jazz.

Eivør - Slør - English version, doesn't count as a new release really.

Ibeyi - Ash - What kept this off my top ten is the (small) use of autotune.

Jojo Mayer & Nerve - Nerve - Doesn't translate as well recorded as it does live.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid - Avant electronic.

Kelly Clarkson - Meaning of Life - Way better than the previous album.

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. - Still overrated...but still good.

Laurel Halo - Dust - Weird electronic thing.

Mike Stern - Trip - Jazzy jazz guitar fusion.

Psychic Equalizer - The Lonely Traveller - Dances the line between Steven Wilson and jazz.

Ronald Bruner Jr. - Triumph - Slightly off kilter R&B with a drummer focus.

Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 3 - Technically released digitally in 2016, disappointing.

Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble - Departure from synthpop.

Talib Kweli - Radio Silence - Rap Hops.

The Physics House Band - Mercury Fountain - Electronic prog jazz fusiony band.

Vijay Iyer Sextet - Far From over - Almost proggy avant piano jazz.

Yazz Ahmed - La Saboteuse - Trumpet with Arabic scales.
