great choice OP
this is mine, i can't say it's the deepest or most experimental album this year, but I can't stop listening to it, pretty much every song is unbelievably catchy
Just realizing I have a lot to listen to still
>>73118467
>>73118583
Oof, been meaning to listen to both of these for a good while now. Glad to see they're well-liked.
>>73118636
I couldn't search this on Tineye, what album is it?
>>73118659
Ersatz Window - Boxing 14/15
>>73118672
Sounds pretty interesting, will have to give a listen. Cheers!
A great use of microtonality in a pop structure! This artist has a clear understanding of the tunings he uses and it results in some amazing moments within this album.
Easily this
>>73119591
nice rec anon im enjoying this
>>73118366
>>73118366

>>73119612
>live album copout for a suffyfag
"No"
Stabscotch - Uncanny Valley
Easily one of the best releases I've heard of the 2010's so far.

>>73121616
Oof you fucking rebel.
>>73121616
All trash
Expected more from a tripfag
>>73121811
Good edgeposting
I can't believe my favorite album of 2017 is a meme
>>73121811
post yours, coward
>>73119795
Haven't listened to much this year but Forget is fantastic and seeing Xiu Xiu was life changing
unfortunately have yet to be truly floored by any releases this year
>>73118366
Words can't describe how much I love this album.
>>73118366
My top 5 so far:
5. Chalice Hymnal
4. Thin Black Duke
3. A Crow Looked At Me
2. async
1. Elektrac
it is archival but it's the best.
>>73121942
it's not my aoty, but I'm glad elektrac is getting some love. it's a good-ass album
>>73121855
>Phil Elverum constructs a gut-wrenching eulogy to his late wife after she dies of cancer
>Released to near universal acclaim
>Avant-teens on some Japanese image board decide that it's now a meme
It's my AOTYSF too. I think it's beautiful and poignant.
one of the best classically styled rock records I've heard recently
>>73118583
this is so fucking good
10/10 pop album coming through
I've never had a audio induced panic attack before this record
>>73118366
I was memeing Luke vibert's album or whatever you want to call it but nah, I had a link to Async when it leaked but put it on hold , guess I'll have to listen to it now

>>73121855
>>73119795
>>73119689
these i sort of listened to but wasn't in the right mindset to actually pay attention to them. Guess I'll listen them now .
>>73121989
>>73122006
We'll see about that
>>73122023
You sure guess a lot of things anon.
>>73122023
What's your AOTYSF?
>>73121989
My AOTYSF
>>73122141
Everything I do is based on a coinflip and winging it
>>73122175
Probably, jamiroquai , I really like that style of music and I was pretty surprised how it's not shit. Better to go in on something with little to no expectations. And the new why? Album. I'm probably forgetting about one but can't recall like not since I've been on a hip hop bing for a couple weeks now.
i love this album so much
Not joking. I've listened to this tape more then anything else released this year. Every song has beautiful production that goes from one song too another. And Carti is able to flow over the nice beats pretty effortlessly, without taking away too much from the production.
>>73122349
Tape?
These are my favorites from 2017 so far.
>>73121616
damn son where'd you find this
>>73122349
>nice beats
How is this anything other than some cloud-ish trap with copy and paste mumble lyrics? tried to honestly listen to this but he is just so annoying, no, everything is annoying about this project.
>>73118467
Didn't really like it.
4th wave when?
>>73122349
>>73118636
whats with all the shill-core this year being shoegaze? i dont mind tho pretty nice album
Not counting the obvious Slowdive, tricot is up there
>>73122682
Fuck I loved this album, really took me by surprise.
>>73122582
this.
this tape is wack as fuck
>>73122023
share the link pls? the archive one is dead
Haven't heard too much from this year desu, but I really liked this one
>>73123955
Also pic related and Xiu Xiu - FORGET, that has already been posted in this thread.
These 3 are my AOTYSF

Really enjoyed these too
Gonna try to listen to everything else in the thread
But >>73123691 and Life Will See You Now as close seconds
The new Nana Grizol.
>>73122682
haven't listen to it yet but looks interesting. do you think it's better than their debut album anon?
>>73124543
not him, but i think it's about the same, maybe a bit better
>>73121616
absolute ass. you're the cancer of this board
Powerful Man is the shit. Sandy is my dude
>>73121616
am going to see Pallbearer tomorrow and never listened to anything by them. What can I expect?
>>73118366
Juana Molina - Halo
Fantastic album, with great lyrics and compotition
>>73124790
>>73124543
It's a little poppier than their first few albums. Tracks like Yosoiki especially are more straight-forward dance rock, but still really enjoyable.
>>73123646
That's the one I had , it's dead for me too . I'll listen to it on Apple Music or Deezer
This is such a good listen.
>>73124846
oh damn this is amazing.
>tfw your AOTYSF is from 1997
>>73125152
Jlin - Black Origami for those wondering
Narkopop is the only thing I've heard from this year so it wins by default
>>73118583
listening now it better be good asshole
>>73125462
Not that guy, but its the type of album I'd put on to make out with a grill for the first time.
I'm not claiming this as my AOTYSF, mostly because it just came out and I've only listened once, but it was an amazing listen. Very much a contender.
>>73125545
yikes i thought this was a total mess, definitely their weakest for me. not cohesive at all and the mixing just isn't good
Just finished seeing them play live, definitely my favorite sound of the year.
>>73125648
I agree with you that it is pretty all over the place, but I just love the way the experimented on this one. Definitely held my attention the whole way through, unlike their past stuff.
What didn't you like about the mixing?
>>73125770
>>73125770
it sounded like "house of the rising sun" was recored from an iphone, "hit me like a snare" just had way too much going on to make it a nice listen, "deadcrush" overlayed his annoying high voice to make it even more annoying... just didn't do it for me. if the album sounded more like "3WW" and "Pleader" i wouldve enjoyed it so much more
See: leak
I had to think about it for a minute but this one's gotta take it so far
>>73125958
this desu
>>73120787
This is a great album, but it's not my AOTYSF. I have been listening to 99 Point Static on repeat though. Doseone goin' hard.
My vote so far goes to Cinderland by High Plains. There's a good amount of stuff I'm looking forward to though. The new album by Alder & Ash is very exciting to me.
planning for burial - below the house
/sad/core
I prefer their more hardcore leaning early work over straight up death-grind, but I cannot stop listening to this. I also can't stop listening to the new Forest Swords.
>>73125168
>reddiohead
I bet you thought you'd get hella karma from that comment, huh?
>>73126186
>sees radiohead
>all they can think about is reddit
Interesting
>>73126186
idiot
Since this is the greatest album of all time It's also the greatest album of 2017 and every other year
I like Cigarettes After Sex too.
>>73122535
where did I find what?
The only right answer here.
Where's the love for Dilloway?
This probably
Really solid album
>>73130706
this shit is great
easily in my top 3
it's my fav dilloway album so far
When will people realize that DAMN. is a meme album that lost its appeal after 2 weeks? Christ
>>73130842
This is probably mine too
Nice choice
