so far top 5:

kairon IRSE - ruination
clap! clap! - a thousand skies
tigran hamasyan - an ancient observer
chicano batman - freedom is free
migos - culture (lol)

haven't listened to ulver or hauschka yet

>>72051201

This is my current favourite, and will probably be my AOTY.

>>72051201
>tigran hamasyan - an ancient observer

thanks for the reminder my guy, need to listen to it asap

>>72051201
kairon; IRSE is probably top for me so far. prefer it to their last album a lot.

Going to give the Ulver one a listen, though it's been a long time since they haven't disappointed.

>>72051681
i like this a lot

>>72051777
didn't you like Messe or ATGCLVCPALMNOP?

>>72051799
>ATGCLVLSCAP
eh, it's not bad, but nothing special

Messe was probably their best the past decade though, you're right on that.

>>72051681
just checked this out.

wouldn't be my AOTY, but I'm happy there are still bands making music like this

>>72050682
Same boat as me.

What a great little record

2017's been kind of uneventful for me besides Arca. I'm liking Toby Driver's Madonnawhore pretty well, though

>Ulver is top AOTY contender for most of /mu/

/metal/ here, Ulver going synthpop from black metal was just a prank bro, it is funny how you are that shit up.

What the fuck is this.What was Ulver thiking

>>72052350
> What was Ulver thiking

The shape of things to come, as usual.

>>72050682
It reminds me so much of slower Devin Townsend songs

>>72052350
they thought they could do Depeche Mode better than Depeche Mode, and they were right

>>72052146
Drunk is just a load of half baked ideas thrown aimlessly together, kind of like a decent soundcloud mixtape but still subpar

>>72052387
>>72052471
it's actually great , i take that back

not listened to much so far this year but probably either TAOJS or the new Caretaker album

i love this album

>>72050682
the only thing that's caught my ear was the pallbearer and Kairon, IRSE! stuff. Im not sure how to feel about Ulver's journey to this kind of music. I love their black metal. Their folk/ambiet is good. This is good but i just feel so odd

>>72053927
shit son i just heard OP's post and holy shit this is great

>>72050682
Same here, it's fucking great

>>72050682
wow really surprised how well they pulled this off. is there a more versatile music group?

how come there have been no truly standout albums this year? like stuff from the past few years that was deeply conceptual philosophically, complex musically, and masterfully presented-- angel's rig hook, american drift, human story 3, the ark work, etc. masterful singular works? theres plenty of ok stuff but nothing groundbreaking like the ones i listed

This and Ulver's new album, easily.

>>72053490
the instrumentation throughout the album is AMAZING, but some songs, especially songs like Baybee,the lead singer sounds like the 100% typical indie girl in an indie rock group. Still, definitely not a bad album

>>72055958
the instrumentation is just as typical and generic tho?

Looks like it.

>>72053235
This album is too moody even for me

>>72054484
Exactly everything that's came out this year has either been boring or mediocre, it's around this time of the year that an aoty drops but we should see if that changes when Kendrick drops next week

any bangers on the new album, something that bumps in the whip?

i've had You Set Me Free on repeat the past few days

>>72058117
I'm not sure but offhand I wanna say no unfortunately. However since the album is so long and otherwise pretty solid, I think it still might add up to a 4
