Waiting for either Kero Kero Bonito or Grimes to release music. If they do, the year will be perfect for music, no matter what other shit gets released.

>unironically listening to meme music

What's the deal with RYM's algorithm for this? Soen is at #4 with only 60 ratings. It's score is 3.77, but Sampha has 367 ratings with a score of 3.52. Shouldn't he be higher?

>>71032455
because metal is more important

>>71032414
it's not meme music, it's pop music elevated to art.

>>71032556

>>71032506
That actually makes sense though. It's a whole .25 higher with still a good amount of ratings, I think that totally justifies its spot. Regardless it's gone down a lot so it won't matter next update anyway.

>>71032314
no

>>71032592
But Sampha has over 6 times the ratings. Just seems a bit off to me.

>>71032275
At least it's deep interesting music and not shallow boring noise like the last 19 years.

>>71032687
you are shallow boring troll

>rym drones in charge of having a taste

>>71032275
Maybe try developing your own tastes and listening to other newly-released music besides what is on the RYM charts? Maybe try giving the year a chance?

>>71032742
>listens to grimes

>>71032745
past 2 years were dogshit, I have no more hope

>>71032679
And the prog metal album's rating is a fuck ton higher. Makes perfect sense to me, but I've delt with the rym formula for years now.
>>71032745
desu, I've listened to a fuck ton of underground stuff this year, and I feel like so far 2017 is worse than 2016. It's early though, so who knows what's going to come next.

>>71032789
2016 was fucking great, what are you talking about?

If you aren't a hip-hop fan (as advised) the last 4 years have been an utter disaster. Few releases deserve to even get rated.
2017 is no different than 2016 or 2015.
Maybe you're waking up

>>71032804
>fucking great
nothing was fucking great last year

>>71032805
OP here, completely agree
2014 and 13 were super dope tho

>>71032805
this might be true if you only listen to rock/pop

>Bedwetter - Stoop Lights and Haze of Interference

Now you have 8 songs, put them in one album and you have AOTY

(there are more good releases but they're not in your pic)

>>71032818
I think you just dont like music because compared to 2014 and 2015, 2016 was fucking legendary.

>>71032894
not my problem you're the kind of person who will hate on anything just because pitchfork mentioned it. Also Bedwetter and Sampha are clearly not meme rap

>>71033016
well it's enough to be online sjw activist to be mentioned by p4k

>>71032894
what do you consider a decent 8 in years past? Because that sounds like you either barely listened to anything from 2016, or are just trying to hate new music just because.

There's be no yearly RYM chart without Max Richter and progressive metal god damn

>>71033084
in 2016 maybe bowie that's about it

>>71032846
this is true if you listen to anything except hip-hop and easily digested edm
If you do, you're living the dream right now

>>71033227
How many albums from 2016 did you listen to? I listened to like 2-300, plenty of good stuff.

>>71034707
I guess maybe. I just don't see the point in listening to one album 10 times and barely changing your opinion of, when you could listen to 10 albums and maybe have slightly less informed opinions about it.
>>71034810
You listened to 160 albums and found 1 8? Are you one of those dudes who has like the majority of their albums in the 1 star category or something? Because that just seems retarded. Like just statistically, there is no way you listened to 160 albums of any kind and only found one 8. Your rating system has to be just fucking ridiculous.

>>71032302
Ew, the new Foxygen was awful.

>>71034814
Metal is just the music version of getting tattoos and growing a beard. Forced masculinity for weak faggots trying to compensate. That's why the fanbase is full of skinnyfat dweebs and obese autismos. True cuck music imho

>>71034865
there are some 8s but not a single strong one, more like barely made it

>>71032275
The new Xiu Xiu is sooooo good tho.

>>71034832
I am open minded and listen to various genres of music unlike you

So far Grails has already released the AOTY.

Still waiting on Father John Misty's full album to make the definitive call unless something else worthwhile gets released before year's end.

If you're looking for new sounds in rock or shoegaze you're looking in the wrong genre buddy. The new Kairon album is solid, even if it isn't wholly original, and I can't think of a better release that occurred in the last two months.

For anybody actually looking for good music that deopped this year:

(9) Foxygen

(8) Information Flash - Ego Murda Sound
(8) Preists - Nothing Feels Natural
(8) Awa Poulo - Poulo Warali
(8) Julia Byrne - Not Even Happiness
(8) Crushed Stars - Displaced Sleepers
(8) Amnesia Scanner - AS Truth

Black Lips new album is Expected to come out this year, it's produced by Sean Lennon though. They usually have a 2-3 year waiting period

>>71032275
Ty's new album was actually disappointing, I hope he bounces back with a cool collaborative project

>>71038543
Of the top 25 records on this list, 4 of them are live albums, 3 are soundtracks, and 4 are classical recordings. That leaves 14 actual records of original music. Of those 14 albums, only 3 of them were released in January or February: ITAOTS, Shape of Punk to Come, and Moon Safari. However, Wikipedia and Allmusic's information on Shape differs from RYM's, saying it was released in October, not February. That leaves two albums of the top 25 that would have been on RYM's chart at this point in the year in 1998. This also doesn't take into account how audiences felt about Neutral Milk Hotel and AIR in 1998 and RYM's tendency to inflate ratings of older music and deflate ratings of new music (no new release has gotten an aggregate 4 on the site since 2007).

>>71034431
>kys
commit suicide

>>71039386
Well ITAOTS and Moon Safari are objective 10/10s, whether people felt that way on initial release or not. We don't have anything even approaching that level this year.

At least last year we got Blackstar very early.

This entire generation is chock filled with idiots.

Idk guys. I am kinda happy that hip hop, metal, and electronic have had quite the resurgence this decade after a somewhat weak 2000-2009 for all three genres. They definitely dominate as genres this decade, and the only people who hate this decade's music so far are people who hate metal, hip hop, and more experimental takes on "electronic music." Great thing's that I love all three.

Perhaps stop listening to boring indie garbage and finally get on the good music train?

>>71040808
