Blackstar is my #2, beaten by pic related

>Not synarchy of molten bones

>>70008015
It's either this, the new A Tribe Called Quest album, Blonde, or Nick Cave's album.

>>70008015
How can a 4/10 possibly be album of the year?

I enjoyed the new Nick Cave album, but the best and only track I loved was I Need You. I actually slow danced for like the first time to that. My girlfriend and I kinda just felt like doing it at the same time so we just got up and did it. It was pretty magical, as gay as that sounds.

But my album of the year is PIGs The Gospel. It's a hell of a come back album, and every track is just amazing. The writing is great, and Raymond Watts doesn't sound boring or tired like most artists do after being out of the music scene for that long.

>Blackstar (2016), 4/10

>As usual with Bowie, Blackstar (RCA, 2016), produced again by Tony Visconti,, is mostly image and very little about the music. The ten-minute Blackstar, that was supposed to be the centerpiece, is little more than a funereal litany a` la Doors with jazz horns that goes on five minutes too many. Bowie crooning melodramatic in Lazarus (from his Broadway musical about an alien who falls in love) or romantic in Dollar Days is either delirious and pathetic, certainly not entertaining. His tedious voice interferes with the driving jazz jam of 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore and with the frenzied and tense Sue (a 2014 single). Even when the voice is not a distraction, the rest is hardly intriguing: I Can't Give Everything Away boasts an awful distorted guitar against syncopated beats and layers of electronic drones: not exactly genius. This is trivial "music" that any amateur could make, except that most amateurs would be ashamed to release it.

>Bowie died of cancer in january 2016.

Scaruffi again? For fucks sake this pretentious degenerate ought to jump in a dirty hole and complain about how his needs aren't being met, forever until the end of time

>>70017024
He"s right about Blackstar though.

>>70017040
well not entirely

sure its messy and distorted, but bowie knows that his true fans wouldnt appreciate a clean ass fuckin joyride for his final album which he timed just right to match his death.

its like a funeral in an album, which i know is depressing but the thought was there

yes. fantastic album. much better than Nick Cave's Skeleton Tree and Leonard Cohen's You Want It Darker, both of which i enjoyed and continue to enjoy immensely. Blackstar is simply on another level. Radiohead's new one is up there, too.

he didn't actually write this...

there's no way he's that pretentious and have people still take his writing seriously. Good troll which I believed until the end

>>70010756
All that metal and you still fail in recognizing metal AOTY (Värähtelija)

>>70018568
blckkstar is my aoty but this is probably my 3rd or 4th, deserves far more recognition than it's gotten

>>70008015
i thought so too but then scaruffi made a really good point by giving it a 4/10 so not rly

>>70018863
>Music is purely subjective.
No, music is objective. Taste in music is subjective. You don't hear a guitar and say "subjectively that is a trombone" or hear an A chord and say "subjectively it's a Dm chord."

Blackstar was okay. Not even close to AOTY though.

>>70019284

>>70022183
good albums anon. Bottomless Pit, Sleep Cycle, Blackstar, and Atrocity Exhibition all made my year-end list as well. never got around to hearing that ATCQ album though. untitled unmastered was bretty gud but didn't stick with me. and unfortunately I wasn't interested in the singles from Wildflower so I never checked out the album. I like ur taste though famalam

>>70022183
Can you explain to me how anybody could find the Danny Brown 'Get Hi' appealing? It's literally the worst song I've heard all year, and I've listened to a fuck load of cheese prog and HHH's Kel Valhaal bullshit

>>70009460
It is sad people consider this album of the year. IT's good. Don't get me wrong. But Album of the YEAR? Come the fuck on.

>>70017488
this guy is still making albums?

ITS IRONNY BRO

>>70009272
it is and it's also pseudo intellectual, it also is the best thing made this year.

>>70024755
the singles HHH dropped from that EP were easily better than anything on Dannys album

"you don't get it" is the worst argument ever. You think it's album of the year because of your subjective taste, not because you're some mastermind that is the only person who can find deeper meaning in things. Not even the same anon.
