Totally jamming to this baby rn
Although I've listened to like 5 2017 releases

why did everyone sleep on this album? it was like an 8/10

>>73635179
>abbreviates the word big

As I recall side 1 was significantly weaker than side 2 which wasn't exactly mind blowing but still excellent

1. Tiny Hazard - Greyland (art pop)
2. Brendan Byrnes - Neutral Paradise (microtonal synthpop)
3. Hadouk - Le Cinquieme Fruit (jazz)
4. Clap! Clap! - A Thousand Skies (uk bass)

>>73635115
hey buddy, are you the same guy from like 2014 who posted in these aoty threads? i remember i used to call you the sia guy

>>73635892
Why do you like that Brenden Byrnes album?

It's between Algiers- The Underside of Power and Seiko Oomori- Kitixxxgaia for me right now.

>>73635892
Holy shit-- there's a new Brendan Byrnes? When did that drop? I loved Micropangea.

taking recs

>>73635900
i think he made good use of microtonality without it coming across as gimmicky or forced, (unlike that king gizzy album for example). there's so many moments on this album where it all comes together so well and it sounds amazing. the synth sounds are really great too.

>>73635926
in february i think

>>73635367
I didn't want to write big WY, and I had to do something, so I wanted to write my post quickly. Anyways, I agree, that's really the 2/10 that I took away.

What does /mu/ think of this? I am in love with it but I haven't seen anyone discuss it here yet.

>>73636062
Thanks. I'm downloading it now. I didn't think the new King Gizz came off as all that gimmicky though. The microtonal guitars worked really well with their style. Then again, I just love running into microtonal music with pop sensibilities.

>>73635900
i just find it hard to bring myself to listen to it because the album artwork is so awful literally one of the worst things ive ever seen. reminds me of mid 2000s aesthetic for really awful shit. microtonal synthpop sounds awesome as an idea and ive never heard anything that fits that diefinition really.

do you buy all the albums on cd that you like from a yer? christ, I wish I had that kind of money

>>73634626
Planetarium I guess
and no, not nearly as much as I used to. Not sure if this is just the board not being as fresh to me or the board getting worse, but I think I've just been here too long.

>>73636079
I was thinking more along the lines of just Big Walnuts. I imagine that's what some people call them anyways.

I just mentioned it because I was so completely baffled for a minute

>>73636638
I used to but I stopped and moved on to spotify, bandcamp, etc. I wouldn't exactly say I had the money either but I certainly had the credit. Those 0% promotional rates have a way of catching up.

>>73635892
it's me, yes : )

Konrad Sprenger - Stack Music
some pretty cool electroacoustic shit, you seem to like things with a bit of an experimental edge, maybe you'll dig this

>>73636020
I dig this list, I should really get around to listening to that Dawson album

>>73636053
you heard that Will Guthrie - People Pleaser album yet? or maybe for something more relaxed, Kara-Lis Coverdale - Grafts?

i'd never heard king gizz before that album, so i guess i went in with different expectations.

>>73636541
>>73637468
that's cool, i thought it was you because of the mix of pop and death metal in your lists

listening to methyl ethel now, has a slight of montreal vibe which is always good

>>73639203
fake?

>>73639337
Fake.

>>73639355
in what way?

>>73639377
I too can put up a list of 50-100 releases from this year which I could enjoy if they were on the radio, but that doesn't mean they're actually my favorite releases of the year.

You think it makes you look like you have taste, but it really doesn't.

>>73639402
i just listen to albums and rate them accordingly to how much i enjoyed them (i give each release at least 3 listens before rating). are you misreading my chart? the numbers at the top are the ratings for the albums below them, so as you can see the albums rated 7 and up and releases i really enjoyed.

>>73639402
bold, but fair.

>>73639402
how the fuck does that make any of them fake?

Of albums released this year I have listened to twice maybe triple the amount on my rym which is currently 131. I take every single one of my ratings seriously and every album on my chart very seriously. I literally hack into rym and participate in their aoty chart in November for the following year.

>>73640067
The 320 on this fucker is like... 780 MB on JPS. WTF. There's also a "mail order" version that's just about 60 MB. What version of the album should I download and what's the music like?

big thief have aoty

>>73641483
Nvm, it turns out that the file size was amped up by some insanely high res photos (like-- over 100 MB a pop).

>>73635115
i hate the new Kasabian album, it's very safe and boring

>>73641678
Both discs are up in the sharethread as well. Musically it's their best output so far imo. More upbeat and lots of electronic influence compared to their past releases.

>>73641691
I won't necessarily disagree but I insist they do safe and boring very well. Not a single misstep.

>>73641734
Rad. I just downloaded it. I really have no idea what I'm in for though. I've never listened to Sukekiyo.

I know it's not out yet, but they played majority of the songs live and I'm convinced it will end up at least in my top 5.
