I stopped listening to new albums about 10 years ago, got lazy, all about play lists etc these days. I still love music but dont take pop/rock as seriously as I once did

Taking music journalism to a new level. One of the great critics of our time.
I really haven't listened to anywhere near enough albums to give a remotely informed opinion on this .
But I have in this period, personally very much enjoyed the bass tastic 2nd Dua Lipa album (Future Nostalgia) and the Everything Everything album Get to Heaven where they briefly threatened to get big then didn't quite make it . It was very early in the period and actually not liked by many of their hardcore fans but I loved Reflektor by Arcade Fire too
As others have said there has been alot of playlisting and not really listening to albums all the way through going on
What others said re death of album listening but those that I listened to most of on loop included Random Access Memories - Daft Punk, Modern Vampires of the City - Vampire Weekend, Honey - Robyn, In Colour - Jamie XX, I like it when you sleep etc - The 1975
Last 10 years is tricky as loads of really great albums came out in or around 2010 (LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening, Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, The xx debut, Robyn's Body Talk) and not sure we've had such a good year since.
I haven’t listened to enough albums as above. I have enjoyed dancing around the kitchen to a lot of Bieber’s music. He has also worked with some great producers in the last 10 years and leading on from this some great collaborations (25 no less on this) so will go for Purpose.
I actually really liked Game Over by Dave (more than his actual albums) but fir some reason it counts only as an EP and not an album, even though the run time is album length and it featured at number 13 on the UK Albims Chart.
just bumping this to say that, having listened to it, if you mentioned Norman fooking Rockwell you should take a long look in the mirror and then punch yourself in the face hard and repeatedly

Unwalt - have you tried Nightmares on Wax as a side dish to Daft Punk? Nowhere near as bombastic but great for a long drive.
Actually the Tron soundtrack by those pesky French chaps is v good.

I don't listen to much current music, and when I do it's usually just individual songs rather than albums.
Best I can do is _Rolling blackouts_ by The Go! team from 2011.
