Its the last day of the 2017 Rebreys! We’ve had fun and can’t wait to see what the 2018 year in music sounds like. Today we tackle Dumpster Fire of the Year, and our Best Album top 10 list. Congrats to the winners and we thank everyone who’s made it this far with us. See you next year!
Dumpster Fire of the Year
–Nominees–
Evanescence – Synthesis
Passion Pit – Tremendous Sea of Love
The Chainsmokers – Memories…Do Not Open (Winner)
Oh how quickly you can fall from grace. The Chainsmokers were nominated for Best New Artist last year and within a year their debut album is a disaster. Sure, there’s a few radio hits, but most of the album is nearly unlistenable. Passion Pit’s Tremendous Sea of Love is unfocused and boring, and somehow Evanescence made a crop of their bad songs even worse. Overall though, The Chainsmokers kept the dumpster fire burning this year, congrats!
