The Best Albums of 2017, According to Us

"I was still reeling from Views when Drake released More Life, which is ironically titled because that's exactly what it gave me. Up-tempo masterpieces like 'Passionfruit' and 'Blem' pair nicely with Drake's signature sensitive tunes like 'Nothings Into Somethings' and 'Do Not Disturb,' which sampled a song from one of my other favorite albums this year. Clearly, Drake is nowhere near done churning out hip-hop anthems." — Britt Stephens, editor
