That was a good record, but I felt as though it had the potential to be a lot better. Whatever, Wriggle scratched my clipping itch enough so that this was not an entire dissapointment

For me, it has got to be Gensho

As someone who actually finds himself enjoying some jazz here and there, I found BBNGs latest effort to be unlistenable. Musically dull, which is generally hard to do with jazz.
>but they are a le hip hop group
even so, some DJ could sample much better jazz than them, and it would sound better.

all in all the album was bad bad not good

>some DJ could sample much better jazz than them, and it would sound better.
Wut

I literally don't understand this criteria at all if I'm even understanding your point.

>>69682800
It's bad jazz and bad hip hop. That's my point. It fails at being good hip hop because a DJ could do better, it fails at being good jazz because the solos lack emotion or depth.

>>69682859
>because a DJ could do better
Literally what

Bbng are original compositions, yes?

I seriously have absolutely zero idea what the correlation is between bbnv 4 and a "dj"

>>69682894
Yes, and as noted in the criticism of their "Jazz" section, their original compositions are dull

>>69682954
Compared to?

>>69682965

Do you think it means anything that he added a period at the end of the title?

Did you hear her new song with Massive Attack?

>>69683059
Holy shit, preach the controversy

>>69683076
The Spoils? Aye, gorgeous track...hope they continue collabing

>>69683099
See >>69683234

>>69683042
It could be that he's trying to make it an imperative verb instead of a noun, which would be communicating with somebody else (possibly the listener) rather than describing the album.

>>69683234
That'd be so crazy. I guess my big wish list from this year would be Jesu/SKM. I really think they're on to something.

Radiohead is AOTY, but the top row of this collage are all AOTY-worthy albums.

>>69683790
>no solange
>no tribe
>no beyonce
>no kanye
>no chance

I pretty much agree with the rest of this, or the ones I've heard at least. I didn't love Skeleton Tree, but I think that's really just not my kind of music.

>>69683335
>this video is not available

>>69683838
Solange is basically Interludes: The Album. I know the statement she's trying to make, but it gets in the way of the actual music, some of which is pretty damn great.

Tribe is good but i think people are seriously getting carried away with it being "as good as their first 3 albums". it's good but not THAT good.

Beyonce is a 6/10. Which still makes it her best work by light years.

TLOP is... weird. it's a disaster of an album that happens to include 4 or 5 of the best songs he's ever made.

Coloring Book is 2nd only to Painting With for biggest disappointment of the year. That shit is just way too fucking cheesy.

>>69683790
Honestly, could you be any more basic?

>>69683838
>being this much of a drone

>>69683928
Does it feel good disagreeing with everyone about everything?

>>69683955
sometimes. depends who i'm arguing with.

the people who think that A Seat at the Table or Lemonade are AOTY because of the statements they make are flat-out wrong and don't actually care about music.

>>69683988
I agree, I mostly thought you were all wrong about Chance. Also, I don't really think TLOP is a disaster of an album. Sure it has some bad songs, but the crazy, chaotic structure combined with the empty spaces gospel feeling was great imo

>>69684199
And?

>>69684084
Nah dude, it was a "reimagination" of old songs.

>>69684296
im pretty sure it was the exact songs but with no percussion in the mix

>>69681849
I wasn't big on this one compared to their last few releases, but the couple of singles they've put out since have been good

>>69683562
Seconding this, I got tickets to their gig in Manchester for free after they moved Death Grips from academy 1 to academy 3, hadn't heard about them before that but they're definitely becoming my one of my favourites.

>>69684469
Would you happen to know what any of the movie samples are from?

>>69684469
Just heard this for the first time, really digging it

>>69683660
haha what is this some kind of neofolk parody band?

>>69684625
For more industrial noise rock/metal this year check out Surgical Meth Machine and oVo - Creatura although neither are as solid as Street Sects who put on a surprisingly terrifying live show

>>69684315
Yes, but that's not all they did. Some songs have weird noisy breakdowns. Plus when you add in the merzbow[how the album is intented to be listened to] the songs are completely transformed.

>>69684862
you're meant to play the merzbow at the same time?

>>69685031
Yes you friccin goober!

>>69686911
literally doesn't always mean literally you pedantic fuck
is english not your first language?
have you ever read a book before?
do literally have autism?
if you can't see how the meaning of a word evolves over time as is the nature of an organic method of communication such as L - A - N -G - U -A - G -E it's not surprising that you don't understand why I said you literally posted the same top 10 as pitchfork
let me break it down for you
literally
ˈlJt(ə)rəli/
adverb
adverb: literally

in a literal manner or sense; exactly.
"the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the roundabout"
synonyms: verbatim, word for word, line for line, letter for letter, to the letter; More
exactly, precisely, faithfully, closely, strictly, strictly speaking, accurately, rigorously;
rareliteratim
"their name, translated literally, means ‘the river’"
antonyms: loosely, imprecisely, metaphorically
informal
used for emphasis while not being literally true.
"I have received literally thousands of letters"

i was obviously saying that you literally have the same shit taste as every literally shit critic on pitchfork as you literally posted the same utter shite they literally posted in their list so you literally have bad taste and literally don't know it which astounds me as i literally just told you that you have abhorrent taste on par with only literal retards and pseudo intellectuals such as yourself
you're not smart
you don't have good taste
you aren't better than anyone
you're not even better than yourself

>>69686987
haha autism

that guy's list isnt even nearly the worst p4k drone ITT

what are you doing

>>69687029
i'm just annoyed that he thinks he doesn't have pitchfork tier taste while emulating them almost 1:1
the audacity of people like that disgusts me

>>69686987
you literally are doing it again

>>69687057
I haven't checked pitchfork in 10 years goy
I just post what I like
sorry I literally annoyed you

>>69686987
LITERALLY the worst person you can be

>>69683433
I'd never heard of these guys before. Thank you so much for introducing them to me!
Bastard is a great song, really melancholic in a beautiful way.
I also really like Think It Over, it's got some real The Sea and Cake vibes going on.
None of their songs has more than 1000 plays on Spotify, but I'm sure that will change and wish them luck in the future.

Listen to some older music

Corey Feldman is not without its moments and even at its worst it's quite endearing. Does it ever even get painful? Maybe it's length can be exasperating but that's about it. As I recall Babyfather and Rob Zombie were more difficult to hear and without subsequent reward.

>>69682700
Well this first song is quite awful I'll agree with that so far.

probably elseq. a lot of the good music this year has been singles or eps it seems. like burials new ep, nightmarket is quite amazing, sounds like ambient breakcore with how he chops up his songs.

>>69695562
>>69695189
>>69695163
All he's saying is that the vast majority of music was released outside of the current year, and therefore most of the good music was also released outside of this year. Also, time has a way of weeding out over-hyped albums and you can find better albums that way as well. I fall into the same trap though and the vast majority of what i listen to is new.

I still have literally no idea what you two are doing.

This is a thread about 2016

?

>>69695583
I've just listened to a lot of old albums already and I like to check out new stuff. What's wrong with that? It's a 2016 thread, why would I post anything other than this year I've heard?

>>69695609
All he's saying is if you've listened to that many albums from 2016, you're probably neglecting older music.

>>69695622
Do you have rym?

>>69695626
that's such a loaded statement. By your argument's reasoning, nobody should listen to new music, and everyone not listening to old music is doing something wrong

So why don't you just post your rym with maybe a little text sample? Only half suggesting, just curious.

>>69695691
And make them go all the way to my account and scour for my ratings for the year? I could link them to the top 100 list I guess but I like to post all my ratings because I'm equally interested in the people talking about the albums I hate to me and maybe telling me how to get into them as the ones who have similar taste to me. Better than just posting Blackstar and Atrocity Exhibition like that have been posted 400 times without sparking much conversation

I consider more & more the new ital Tek as a potential AOTY desu

>>69696509
It came out today and there was no hype before it came out. It's an incredibly unique album, a lot of exploration.

I think I stopped listening to anything new a year ago. Only new thing I listen to was the new Lone album. I thought it was better than the previous one but still really bad.

I've got a new years eve release date for wasp factory

it's my favorite part of life

You guys do realize the album is a 20th century phenomenon? It literally only existed because of the limitations of physical distribution. If you are still listening to albums you are behind the fucking times, $orry

>>69697141
This is such a ridiculous mindset. An album is literally just a collection of songs released in a package, and it's still an album by any other name. It won't be dying any time soon. Compilations, greatest hits, just random congregations of tracks, it's all albums or mixtapes.

>>69697169
>package.
Exactly. No one buys music in a package anymore. In fact I don't think many people even buy music. By the year 2k16 you should really be thinking in terms of mixes - not mixtape btw, again an antiquated concept. Psh - what was I thinking posting on a board whose most modern fascination is literally called "post-civil"! Enjoy your nostalgia trip!

>>69697169
Why even respond to him?

>>69697198
Because I'm right. The concept of an album is completely based on distribution methods that are no longer relevant. If you want to discuss modern era music, you are better off discussing mixes and the artists themselves. That's why this board has such shit taste: you only listen to oldies, and stuff imitating oldies. Pathetic!

Top 10 EPOTY

1. Nails - You'll Never B-1 of Us
2. Carly Rae Jepsen - Side B
3. Black Sabbath - The End

5. Die Antwoord - Suck On This
6. Massive Attack - Spirit/Spoils
7. The Wild Now - Tides
8. Krallice - Hyperion
9. Barghest - split w/ Teeth
10. Widower - Unholy Oath

>>69697233
>I only listen to oldies
>just posted literally +300 albums I've heard this year

again this ideology has no grounds. Just because technology has advanced to not needing albums doesn't mean they have no reason to exist

Ok post some bleeps

>>>69696969

>>69697243
idk about the other ones but that you will never be one of us is an LP and it isn't uncommon at all for punk bands to have ~20 min full length releases.

Some other good punk EPs from this year:

>Blood Pressure - Need to Control
>Turnstile - Move Thru Me
>Spine - Deny
>Red Death - Deterrence
>Judiciary - The Axis of Equality
>Primal Rite - Complex Life of Passion
>Outshined - The Way
>Praise - Leave It All Behind
>Nasa Space Universe - 70AD
>Mindset - Nothing Less

post yours then faggot

>>69698751
Nails etc. are EPs in relation to their own discography. For end of the year comparisons of literally every single release in existence the terms EP and LP are specically about length and apply to everyone.

>>69699057
There has never been a concrete definition of what length makes an EP. It's up to the artist.

Also the only nails EP was Obscene Humanity, the two previous releases were also LPs.

Haven't really kept up with much that's been out this year, but Oranged Out and Ultimate Care II are the only albums I've heard this year that I'd consider potential AOTY.
