Your AOTY so far
>>73562709
it's nice but I'd be super depressed if this were the most impressive thing I'd heard this year
>>73562709
Sugar, Down the Line, and Be Nothing are great songs. I actually enjoy the whole album after listening to it a few more times after initially being very underwhelmed. But from all the Captured Tracks-core artist to release something this year, new Mac Demarco is still my favorite.
>>73562748
>Dark Ambient, Drone, Dungeon Synth, Power Electronics
yea ill throw like 2 bux for this on BC sounds great
>>73562764
Album cover looks dope as hell so i gotta grip this too
>>73562833
Yeah Alder Deep is not just some bandcamp artist. I've talked to the artist a bit on the dungeon synth forum and they're a real master of this new dungeon noise microgenre that's emerging
>>73562764
>>73562833
i recognize the artist. it's denis forkas (spelling?). great artist. has done some other album covers
>>73562918
A new subgenre of DS is emerging? Interesting.
Normally I'm not very interested in DS because it's normally so thin but this could become one of my favorite genres.
ty for posting Alder
>>73562979
Yeah check out Ranseur as well. He's like the og of this noisy new dungeon synth.
>>73563036
Mah nigga

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-
wait, you're serious?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
>>73563242
even if this album were good (it's shit) you'd still be a fag for liking Gorillaz
>>73563641
>>73563649
>>73563641
>>73563649
It's lackluster in parts, but isn't flaming garbage like most of /mu/ thinks it is. Submission, Charger, Let Me Out, We Got the Power, all are good tracks.
FUCK Ascension though.
>>73563696
>2008
>>73563751
oh, albums FROM this year? don't know any
https://rateyourmusic.com/~Androol
>>73563242
this isn't AOTY worthy but it's better than /mu/ claims it is.
>inb4 you're just a gorillaz fanboy slurping up anything damon puts out
it's actually first the first gorillaz album that i really liked. demon days bored the hell out of me, and plastic beach was maddeningly inconsistent.
To be honest, this. Although if that's not allowed, then CHUCK by Chuck Berry is my AOTY so far.
>>73563763
You're literally retarded

No one cares

What a retarded opinion

Anniversary release of Sgt. Pepper is like a brand new album.
I haven't heard a whole lot of albums I've really liked this year so far
truly sublime
>>73563949
I find that amazingly hard to believe
>>73563763
interesting album though
might give it a peep
>>73563980
I finally started exploring through his discography. Drinking Songs has 1.5mil views yet this one only has 7,000 views and it's his best. Fucking youtube algorithms.
>>73563714
lmfao don't give us that fedora shit. you're the one who likes gorillaz fuckin pleb
>>73563966
>start this album
>really good jazz starts playing

>>73569007
Holy fucking shit dude
You're a fag
>>73563895
This. I also really liked pic related but I don't know if it counts because it's a 5 track EP but it's definitely what I've listened to the most
don't really have one yet, but I'm pretty hopeful it'll be the new Milo album.
>>73568572
t. nu-male
Is it just me or has France been kicking ass this year?
Pryapisme, Mary Bell, Comity, the list goes on.
>>73569395
Fuck yeah
If quads Kids Bop 34 is AOTY
>>73570007
Close, bro. Kids bop is always aoty though. All the best pop hits performed in a fun and endearing manner. How can anyone top that
I'm happy with the year in general, lots of good shit, but this is the first time in years where at the half-way mark of the year i do not feel confident about a particular AOTY.
King Giz and Shabazz Palaces have been killing it tho
>>73570060
You're the definition of a /mu/ drone
>>73563716
Damn... that's the exact opposite of the right opinion. How in the fuck do you like We Got The Power?
>>73570069
considering that i can't really take you people seriously anymore, i don't see that.
admittedly, most of the stuff on that collage were albums that i was hyped for anyway. only a couple of artists on there that i was unfamiliar with going into them (RBCF, Julie, The Necks) and a couple that i ended up liking a lot more than i expected to (Gorillaz, Mac, might as well include Slowdive in there as well). But for the most part this has been a pretty predictable year for me.
>>73570097
Not the guy you're responding to but i liked that track a lot more in the context of the album than i did when it was released as a single.
biggest complaint about Humanz is that they seriously fucked up the sequencing, but WGTP works better as a closer than just about anything else on the album.
Can't believe no one's posted this.
>>73570125
>most of the stuff on that collage were albums that i was hyped for anyway
You mean that everyone was hyped for, since you can't think for yourself
>>73570156
Jesus Christ kys
>>73570164
out of curiosity, how new do you exactly think i am?
>>73570181
I have no estimate of how long you've been here, nor do I care. Regardless of how long you've been here you clearly haven't developed particularly good or unique tastes. It's a pathetic chart no matter how long you've been here
>>73570230
>he actually cares about his taste being unique
you are the definition of a snowflake.
i could care less how many people like those albums, but did you perhaps think, i dunno, that a lot of people are hyping them because they really are that fucking good?
Easily the most fun I've had listening to an album this year
>>73570246
Meme bands tend not to release good music sorry. You could try putting more effort into finding good music than literally just gobbling up the trendiest shit to cross your narrow field of perception
>>73570287
I never understood the "avant-teen" insult since it's basically discrediting someone for having better taste than you. I guess it might be insulting to be called a teenager but since I'm not a teenager I don't really take that personally
>>73570312
>not liking Japanese noise rock
JUST
>>73570312
boris is dope af tho

Man you should listen to Japanese noise rock, you're missing out.

>not liking noise
Holy cow I didn't know there were still people like this on this board. Well it is summer
this and it's not even close
>>73570431
You just scurry along, little hypebeast. Carry on listening to your vapid flavor of the month drivel. You're fighting a losing battle here. You're not going to convince anyone that's your pop albums are good
>>73563895
i haven't heard this yet, is it good?
>>73570445
If you're talking about me (>>73570230)
, I've already posted two of my favorite albums from this year in this thread. Keep spouting nonsense
>>73570477
what's your favorite album?
>>73570477
My friends and I enjoy it so that's kinda what matters isn't it? I listen to what I enjoy and I get a lot out of it so I pity you for needing so much affirmation from others. Imagine being unable to enjoy an album because you don't see it plastered all over meme music review sites. Pitiful
a few EP's too, but it has been a fine half year imo
>>73562748
gonna listen to this, seems interesting
>>73562792
>>73563909
>>73564762
>>73565607
also good
>>73570508
Popular music is quite enjoyable and fun to have on at social gatherings. But it doesn't make my year end list since it's forgettable and meaningless. My aoty albums are the ones I'll be listening to for years to come, not the ones I casually enjoy
>>73570445
>lists
what is this shitposting? just post your AOTY you autist
>>73569007
Nah, I liked it too. I don't think FJM's gets enough credit for being neutral. I think a lot people see his songs as him airing out his opinions.
>>73569287
HOly shit go back to /b/
>>73570602
Man it's like it's really 2011 again
>>73570614
i like the cover please tell me about it
why can't we all get along
either this or xiu xiu for me
>>73570614
>Do you think I won't enjoy listening to my favorite albums from this year later?
Yep!
>>73570665
No.
>>73570665
Oh shit. Forgot about this.
>>73570664
i don't really like tool but i'm getting less edgy vibes from this so i'll give it a chance
>aoty
>autist
I don't understand this. It's fucking June. I'll be lucky to get an aoty picked out by fucking December. January 1st this year was completely insane so I don't know if I could have even picked the best from literally day one. And I actually extend the date to Dec 15th which this year is Lypura from Germany
>>73570680
why not
>>73570696
You don't have have any contenders yet? Yikes
>>73570702
I don't feel obligated to explain myself to a breakcore fan
I haven't heard much from this year, but this album was good.
>>73570711
Fuck no like I said January 1st is insane enough. I currently have about 50 albums at 4/5 waiting for one to be retroactively changed to 4.5/ and get aoty
>>73570734
it's not a breakcore album
>>73570734
understandable
have a nice day
>>73570696
just make autistic lists dude to catalog your faves
>>73570734
what a loser
>>73570745
I only have two albums this year that are even at a 4. One I already posted, here's the other is pic related
>>73570789
Sorry I kinda misspoke
>not having an aoty
>autist
I don't understand this
It is fucking June. I would normally say it was easy for the first few weeks of January but this year January 1st was completely insane. At absolute minimum three heavy hitters: Tangible Rays, Utopianisti, Blasphemer
>>73570761
Oh sorry, "amazingly unique breakcore/extreme metal hybrid with classical influences"
Jesus get over yourselves
>>73570858
>literally 'stop liking what I don't like'
>>73570878
You can believe what you want. I'm not even understanding the logic that led you to that conclusion so I'm assuming there was none
>>73570858
there are maybe 3 minutes worth of breaks on the album, relax
>>73570461
>close
to what?
>>73571014
I'm guessing to his second favorite album of 2017.
And again I would just like to address the cutoff date. I thought I was being very fair calling it at Christmas Eve but some people decided to throw a complete hissy fit calling for a strict New Years Day. So now my push back to that is it's now December 15th the way it originally was before I compromised to Christmas Eve
Long live Lypura
>>73570659
This or pic related for me. Lot of good shit this year though
Still the best

gotta go with Brutalism as AOTY too, great taste m8
Heel/Heal is the best fucking punk song i've heard for a while, with 1049 Gotho just behind it
>>73570461
just listened to it today, it's fantastic. Beggars is one of the most beautiful songs to come out this year
>>73562709
>>73575006
>Damn is 8
>Saturation is 6
That's what adults call a "pleb indicator"
>>73575603
Damn. Is so much more complex than Saturation. Saturation is nothing too innovative, it's just nice experimental hip hop w/ average to decent level spitters. At least there's several of them. But Damn., is the best lyricist in Hip Hop today, finding his own distinct way of describing very human emotions, and relating them to his life
It's going to be this when it comes out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4DJjsQ5qGY&t=1s
>>73570230
You're probably still young, late high school or early college at the most, so here's some advice, no one gives a shit about your taste being special or unique, if you want to jerk off to how """unique""" you are listening to your underground post avant garde punk pop, go right ahead, but no one is going to take you seriously on this board.
>>73571353
Aoty until album 3 comes out
>>73571458
yo what is that will guthrie album like? i recently picked up one of his CDs in a clearance section of the record store and liked it.
>>73570659
way too jrock for my taste
some of the tracks seem like theme songs for anime
Sun Kil Moon - Common as Light and Love Are Red Valleys of Blood
>>73574849

Doesn't hold my attention as well as lore did

Also what the fuck is punk pop? You're a fucking moron who's been on this board for a year or less, versus my six. Literally kill yourself retard

Oh my bad, that's weird
Nice quads bro
>>73568219
this one boys
>>73581882
I was a bit disappointed by Death Peak, I only really liked Slap Drones and Hoova. Have a harder time relistening to it than I do with the Clark album or Body Riddle.
>>73573836
Yeah, Tame Impala is pretty good.
>>73570357
I like what I'm hearing. Reminds me of Sun City Girls.
>>73562709
You posted mine, good job.
>>73562730
Yeah, it's not super amazing or anything but it's been kind of a slow year imo. What I've been the most hyped for has either been okay or just good, so maybe Beach Fossils just caught me by surprise.
This, but I'm not sure if I should count it.
Otherwise, I'm torn between >>73563909
and >>73563716
>>73565941
Holy shit, we have like the exact same music tastes
>>73582623

Some of the songs on this are ten times better than their stereo counterparts.
Strawberry Fields take 7 is also the best version of the song there is. This is AOTY indeed.
>>73568983
I had no idea. I'll check it out!
>>73574970
I don't think Aimee Mann's music is really my kinda thing but I still thought the album was good.
Arca's new album was good too but I thought it paled in comparison to his previous work. The album didn't really strike me as being all that interesting.
>>73562730
not tryna be that guy but at last have you heard the last swans album right
>>73562709
i haven't been listening to much music tho.
>>73568685
What's the top ten one with the pink background?
>>73583958
Yeah, I've listened to it a couple times through. I liked all the singles. Some of the stand out tracks for me are Boomerang and MadTV. Michael Keaton is a great closer.

New additions with Kara-Lis Coverdale, White Ward, Atobe Shinichi, Molly Nilsson, and ゲスの極み乙女。

Honestly its the only album that I have listened to that came out this year so its number one in a race of one. Been really into "Blonder Tongue Audio Baton" by the Swirlies but idk if that counts.
