I don't think anything can top Blackstar.

The immediate, emotional transformation that Bowie's album underwent between the day it dropped and the day he died was some kind of artistic alchemy- the likes of which no one has ever pulled off before:

Songs that seemed innocuous or obtuse suddenly became dramatically super-heavy.

"Where the fuck did Monday go?" was no longer some kind of abstract pondering, but a tear-stained assessment of January 11, 2016.

The Lazarus video, which initially seemed like standard Bowie weirdness, revealed itself to be an open-casket funeral.

It's incomparable, even in a stacked field.

Well I actually like all of those except for Clipping. I discarded your opinion though when you gave the objective 4/10 album by Bon Iver an 8/10.

>>68279695
>Objective 4/10

Don't get upset because you don't get it.

It is a spiritual experience and flows like a dream, personally my favorite album of his. I wouldn't expect you to "get" it, it's more for the likes for somebody's spiritual journey and the music actually matches his messages well. I will still say the track titles are somewhat pretentious but that has nothing to do with the music quality. It will grow on you in time, definetely after you stop taking Fantano's opinions so seriously m9

It will be art angels deluxe

>Clipping.

this dude just doesn't get it.

I will say that CLPPNG and Midcity weren't that great to me (which I believe are Fat Ant's fave clipping. albums anyways) but I had Splendor and Misery rated 10/10 before Fantano reviewed that shit. so Opinion discarded.

But I can understand that complaint on Bon Iver, which is why I say "He doesn't get it", because although it's not a transcendent spiritual experience, it's still an exploratory one which I enjoy a lot. Not AOTY, but certainly not the dissapointment to which you believe it is.

By the way, if I think something different than you, it isn't objective anymore..isn't it?

I agree with this anon.
I really like Haake's drumming on this one, his snare work is top notch. It's tribal, almost. I also like the use of dissonance that is pretty common on the record, and the nearly melodic sections like at the end of Stilfed.
Good album

Bvdub – Yours Are Stories Of Sadness

I think he gets overlooked every year just because of the sheer volume he unloads, but this album was among his best and in such among the best of the entire genre.

Hell even A Thousand Words was a great release too and that was this year, I'd put that in my top 5 as well.

felt too much like a sampler to me and felt too much like a regression back to his 2008/2009 work

don't get me wrong there were a lot of great tracks, but I'd rather have him build through 3-6 good tracks with some well placed vocal samples than just throw me 19 good-great tracks that never stay long enough to build into anything or make use of vocals

>>68279572
That's kinda how I'm feeling. Was Blackstar the best album anyone's put out this year in terms of the music itself? IMO no. But Bowie's death lends the album a deep, tragic, beautiful significance in such a dramatic and epic way. No other album this year, or most any year has been able to pull off anything like that.

It's also honoring Bowie's musical career to have Blackstar as your AOTY, so I think it kind of an obligation for any huge Bowie fan.

Plus the music is pretty great.

>>68286019
Say what you want about the music, that's probably their first album with good cover art

>>68289683
Musically I liked Xiu Xui's new album better.

>>68278628
>>68278843
In one of the best years for music in recent memory, people still manage to pick these pieces of shit.

>>68289719
I liked Californication's cover art. That's the only one

>>68289734
Same, that's my runner-up to Blackstar,

>>68289683
Honestly, I listened to Blackstar before Bowie died and I was really underwhelmed. Then, everyone went on about how this was his magnum opus and a chillingly fitting end to his career. Upon revisiting, it's still kind of a mediocre attempt to dig into popular modern production styles. Bad? No. Amazing? No. It's alright, and Bowie's death shouldn't affect someone's opinion of the album. Yeah, Closer got put into a different perspective with the death of the tortured soul who wrote that music, but it was fucking good music regardless of circumstances surrounding it.

>>68289683
>>68289815
Addendum: as a massive Bowie fan, you are not obligated to name this as AOTY, nor even as a particularly great album. Bowie himself would call that kind of behavior ridiculous, most likely. Blindly praising art solely due to the person behind the art? Gross.

For the most part I've listened to very few albums from 2016, but I'll rate what I've heard.
>>68286431
Crystal Castles - It was okay, it was like III, which I liked, but not as consistent, and although the new singer was good, she's still not as good. 5/10
>>68286917
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Good, catchy, but ultimately not my style. 6/10
>>68274419
It's like To Be Kind, but with less stand out moments, but still more consistent. I liked it, but will probably not listen to it again for another 6 months or so. 6.3/10

>Album
Starboy by The Weeknd

>Released Album
Views by Drake

>Mixtape
Slime Season 3 or JEFFREY by Young Thug. Slime Season 3 is better. All of the songs on there were great. I only liked Harambe and Floyd Mayweather from JEFFREY. Guwop and Wyclef Jean weren't bad though.

That's from this year. If we're talking about in general then Cry Baby by Melanie Martinez. Probably one of my all time favorite albums. Absolutely amazing. Didn't get the credit it deserved. Very underrated, but it's not like it's an unknown album. It peaked at 6 on the Billboard charts and it has spent 59 weeks on the charts while recently going up again. Good to see that she's getting the recognition she deserves. Not bad for a debut album on top of that.

In terms of favorite mixtape in general then probably If You're Reading This It's Too Late by Drake. Probably the best thing he's done. I was hoping Views would be more like it, but the only song that reminded me of IYRTITL was Hype, but Views was a calm album in general. Like a mix between Nothing Was The Same and Take Care for me with more feelies.

Just dropped 7 hours ago ( even though I listened to it leaked yesterday ) and its easily the best album of the year so far for me, right above moose bloods Blush.

Joyce Manor really came thru on this one. While it's not the rowdy Joyce manor that most of /mu/ loves, it's still so very excellent. Probably my fav Joyce manor album ever. Each song after the other is a bop, I had to save every single song to my playlist, and I don't usually do that. Highly recommend.

O.K. yeah, that's not really what I meant. If you love Bowie but don't actually like the album you're obviously not "obligated" to call it your AOTY, and in fact doing so would be stupid. If you love Bowie and do love the album, you're still not "obligated" to call it your AOTY, but I think that doing so is paying your respects, kinda like putting flowers on someone's grave.

well, ok, aren't you a special snowflake.

since when is an album being hard hitting and angrier the only measure of how good it is, I'm happy for you, glad you enjoyed it but it was way more samey to me and they aren't that good at being angry, of the top of my head Nails, Full Of Hell, The Chariot, Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Dangers, Hate Fuck, Admiral Angry, The Flex, Arms Race, Blind Authority and Employed To Serve ALL make far more visceral, harder hitting and just straight up more interesting angry music.

>>68304192
all hard hitting stuff is relative.

Why it's my aotysf:
-the first few songs, spit it out to take control, are obviously quite generic lyrically when it comes to any politicore punk, the instrumentation is simplistic as hell, since there's only really two people, but yet the garage punk vibes in production (hats off to Mike D) are fantastic, the rawness behind the execution is key to the recordings, over the overproduced lightweight debut record.
-then the album gets more interesting, the Skit, "Mr Industry", is lyrically far more focused on the negligence of the current administration and the last 4 (David Cameron, Cameron and Clegg, Brown, and Blair) of industry and the working class. The music in the next few tracks simmers down, with some post-punk vibes in Lies especially, and executed well within the album, then Fuck the Hi-Hat returns to the original message of the album, to be punk, to be raw, and to try things out whilst reusing old punk tropes (notably the lack of hi-hat).
-Then the final few songs shimmer as being similar to the best tracks off of the first album, but with far better production.
-Final reason? I haven't listened to that many albums this year, so out of this, Blonde, AMSP, and a few bandcamp records, this wins it.

Blonde
