why? I'm just trying to spread music that everyone doesn't already know.
I'm not saying I don't like records that are in the top 30 it's just there's no point in posting them here as either everyone on here already know's it or they can easily find it.

Genuinely believe it's because of the influx of /pol/ users with their generally close minded mentality combined with aggregate increase of underaged posters who came to 4chan after that whole mass celebrity nude leak.
It's depressive to by quite frank and there's no way to get them to fuck off because 4chan is anonymous.

This was a great year for electronic music if you ask me

>>69932120 30 seconds of some tracks are enough to give a precise idea of an album
>>69932120 I really don't get the hype: I might be biased since the new YT is quite different from his 1st album (and I really like it), and even more different from his great tracks on the old Mykki Blanco mixtape. That's why I think I'm just fed up with his (uninspired) new style.
Not fan of (post-)metal sorry.

Serious question. Hoping to get a few answers.

How do you avoid the /mu/ circlejerk? Looking through this thread and it looks like I missed out on some great 2016 releases, but I will go back and listen to some before the end of the week. Where do you specifically go to to find new music?

Thanks.

Where? Just the usual blog-circlejerk: all these albums have been reviewed by p4k, FACTmag, Tiny Tiny mixtapes, etc.

>>69932732
stop promoting your own work here man.

Every fucking year with this shitö

>>69932744
Sites like The Quietus, Tiny Mix Tapes, Resident Advisor (for electronic and experimental), FACT Magazine, etc. Check some album of the year-lists from these, I found so many great releases there

Soundcloud. Like some of the lesser known artists that you like, or, even better, some interesting labels. I can recommend some if you like experimental electronic music, like Phoenix by WWWINGS.

Related artists and songs on Spotify, YouTube, etc.

Ocassionally from threads like this

>>69932822
>missing the intent of this whole thread
The purpose was to promote music that wasn't being circle-jerked on the rest of /mu/
I don't think you can deny that the circle-jerking has gotten a lot worse recently.

It really is an acquired taste. All I can say is just keep on trying records until you like it.

Give Blood Incantation - Starspawn a shot. It's death metal at it's core but it has a ton of progressive/strange detours. That and it's only 35 minutes. Other records to check out

Conan - Revengeance
Khemmis - Hunted
Zhrine - Unortheta

I genuinely wasn't trying to make a "who's got the most hipster aoty" thread. I was just tired of seeing the same albums (even the ones I liked) always getting posted on this board.

That's a very convenient way these circlejerkers can undermine threads like these. I wouldn't pay it any mind, personally.

While I, personally, don't care for albums like Blackstar or Teens of Denial there's nothing inherently wrong with having them as your AOTY. But are they so lacking in empathy that they wouldn't understand how the rest of us could be sick of seeing them?

That's why I think this thread should be a regular. Keep us out of each other's hair

>>69935222
Yea exactly, I genuinely don't want to see another "le name another record more experimental than Atrocity Exhibition".

Why do I come to this board?

I don't think the issue is people posting albums people know are popular and people posting albums where people go "literally what?"

I think the issue is people just posting pictures of albums without describing the album and why they like it. If you guys are just going to post some obscure album (or even a more known album) at least tell us why you like it and what the sounds of the album entail so if any of us think it sounds interesting we can give it a listen too

>>69935493
In my experience people respond negatively to unprovoked, longwinded opinions. They feel it's either pretentious or it puts them in a position where they should articulate their opinion in kind (which most are reluctant to do)

My policy is to post the album and either let people find out on their own terms whether or not they want to pursue it or they ask for my opinion.

>>69923197
Why the fuck don't you post an album then instead of resorting to childish insults

This is a very good point and I myself have been at fault for simply posting an album without giving any background information or reasons why I like it.
However English is not my first language and sometimes I feel like I won't be able to properly get across exactly how much I like an album and thus undermine the chance that others will check out the album.

No problem. Sadly their singer passed away shortly before the completion of that record so that's it for these guys, I guess.

yikes.

after 200 replies, how are you still missing the point of this thread?
I've stated several times that this isn't some sort of competition and is solely just for people to share their favourite records from this year that they feel is under appreciated.
The RYM rating thing was simply to avoid the circle jerk of the more popular choices as they would dominate over the less known releases.

I haven't seen this mentioned here or pretty much anywhere else. Extremely good, but kinda hard to initially get into, IMHO.

Steve Hauschildt has been one of the most consistently fantastic artists in electronic music, with or without Emeralds.

Other good picks:
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Ears
The Gerogerigegege - 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai)
Boris + Merzbow - Gensho
Sumac - What One Becomes

I'm surprised an aoty thread with so many replies still hasn't mentioned Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.
The new Boris + Merzbow record was good also

>>69941612
I feel bad for KAS tho: Synergy is better than her solo album she released months ago…

>>69941899
Spread the word yo

>>69933821

>>69935175
Do you know anything that sounds similar to the background vocals? That's my favorite part of the song.

>>69943771
Thanks for the rec, I'm going to check out more of his stuff. I'm not a fan of this particular song, but I liked 50 cent.

Just tripped balls to this jam and im blown away by how well it uses pervasively familiar audio themes to inspire feelings of nostalgic adolescence. Im a fan.

I'd like a thread like this next year at least once a week.

(OP here) I'll post another one before the end of the new years.
I think we covered a fair amount of music in this thread.

>feelings of nostalgic adolescence

>>69941479
