the new lambkin/unami 2 disc thing is weird but I'm pretty sure I like it a lot. the digital copy is divided into "UnamiDisc" (disc 1) and "LambkinDisc" (disc 2), but it's almost like disc 1 is Lambkin doing Unami and disc 2 is Unami doing Lambkin? If that makes sense? I don't know, I need to listen to it more and see what info I can get out of the packaging.

>>72712767
i did like this album, but i don't think i could listen to it any more than like 2 or 3 times. it's really intense and depressing, which is good, but i feel like i've got all i can from this album. as a listener, i've already heard through his story, and the minimal simple instrumentation doesn't give much of a reason to go back to it. i appreciate what he's done though, it's such a personal album and it's obvious he's made it for his own reasons, rather than for the listener, which i respect.

>>72712783
i'll look into some of these, will try add some to my backlog

I get why you wouldn't want to listen to it lots. Honestly I've played other 2017 albums way more than this. But every few years I have an AOTY that I love but can't listen to on repeat, and I think this is just another one of those.

>>72713608
i don't go on pitchfork, but really most of the albums on that dudes chart are from popular or atleast recognizable artists.

>>72713608

I'm genuinely interested on how

Mine so far

>>72713594
I bought it and I still go by the unspoken rules of what.cd where erstwhile releases shouldn't get shared until a little bit after they're out physically. I actually am always too lazy to encode them properly and tag them (they come as untagged wavs). I just download the mp3 version once someone else does all that, I would bet it'll be on soulseek around the end of the month so you don't have too wait too long if you don't want to pay (tho if you find you have money to spend later on I'd strongly recommend putting in an order for some stuff because that'll help the cool future releases come out).

>>72713565
Yeah I'm fucking pumped for this!

>>72713656
I'm curious as to what you saw in the Laura Marling album. I like her as an artist, and think some of her other albums are excellent, but I thought that Semper Femina was kinda boring.

>>72713600
Ok well that wasn't the question. Do you not understand what aoty is? Apparently you don't. So why don't you shut up bitch.

>>72713773

What's so bad about it?

Humanz and DAMN. are absolutely wonderful IMO

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
Kelly Lee Owens - s/t
Aaron Dilloway - The Gag File
Eye Candy - Cerebrotonia

These are the only albums from this year that I felt had genuine inspiration

Rock releases are pretty weak this year

>>72713761
I just thought it was extremely solid, i'll listen again tonight to see if it still hits.

>>72713869
Go ahead, make my day.

>>72713924
What were your strong rock releases last year?

About the new Atkinson album

>>72715509
thanks

whats your 8?

>>72712989
I do think that it's a great album, but even he admits that a big reason that he made the album was to be able to provide for his daughter since he's pretty poor rn. In a way, however, it kinda adds to the tragedy of the album

I'm liking a lot of stuff so far, quite a few albums that would make it into my top 20 from other years and we're only a third of the way though

Am I the only one that doesn't "get" Arca?

At the Drive-In and Fleet Foxes will soon be added but they need a few more listens to be sure.

>>72715578
it's more like A Readymade Ceremony but with a better execution. lots of whispery ASMRcore. tho there are a few moments that remind me a lot of the collab.

>>72718957
Just got through a listen of it, I kind of wish the ASMR talking was replaced with interesting field recording stuff.
