Special: 2019 In Review: Best Albums of 2019

Top 5

blink-182 - Nine

Record Label: Columbia Records

Choice Cuts: On Some Emo Shit, Darkside, I Really Wish I Hated You, The First Time

Why? Definitely reminiscent of the untitled blink record. This album has dark themes throughout based upon the state of the world as well as the state of yourself and well-being. That being said you couldn't really tell if you didn't pay attention to the lyrics as this album is still bouncy and may just end up being my favourite since that untitled record, perhaps even surpassing it. blink makes it clear they don't need Tom or joke songs to put out a compelling record.

Waterparks - Fandom

Record Label: Hopeless Records

Choice Cuts: Easy To Hate, Watch What Happens Next, Cherry Red, War Crimes

Why? At this point it's obvious Waterparks will always be trying something new and FANDOM is riddled with new toys and tricks for the band to use. Awsten Knight went as far as to say that he almost scrapped a song (Telephone) because it was originally just a plain pop punk song but instead evolved it into something sonically different. There's still dashes of songs you can imagine being on their previous releases but layered in such a way that they also would seem out of place.

Sleep On It - Pride & Disaster

Record Label: Equal Vision Records

Choice Cuts: After Tonight, Babe Ruth, Under The Moment, Hold Your Breath

Why? Sleep On It's 2nd album is cut from a similar clothe although the evolution isn't as drastic, it works. Pride & Disaster fires on all cylinders as the album is full of hit after hit. Zech's voice is the highlight just above the improved harmonies and musicianship. If Overexposed was the gold standard, this might be the platinum standard.

Grayscale - Nella Vita

Record Label: Fearless Records

Choice Cuts: Desert Queen, Painkiller Weather, IN Violet, Twilight (My Heaven)

Why? Grayscale definitely went poppier on this record and that's not a bad thing though they definitely buried the lead with the two lead singles even if they had pop twinges to them. If I wasn't for lead singer Colin Walsh's distinct voice I might think this was a The 1975 record (again not a sleight) but even if you're not into that there s still a few pop punk bangers like Twilight and Desert Queen along with the previously alluded to Painkiller Weather and In Violet.

Set It Off - Midnight

Record Label: Fearless Records

Choice Cuts: Criminal Minds, Killer In The Mirror, For You Forever, Midnight Thoughts

Why? This album is so strong I couldn't keep it out of the top 5 but the hold backs are there is a quite a few filler tracks that could've been cut from the 15 song tracklisting and still let you feel okay about the album length, that said when the songs are on they are on, mixing styles, catchy corus' and lead singer Cody Carson's strong vocals make Midnight a treat for SIO fans and non-fans alike.
