A Crow Looked at Me

>>73730619

Probably this. Heard none of the singles at all and was not expecting the sound I heard. Atrocity Exhibition was my AOTY of 2016 so I'm pretty happy more weird rap is getting thrown into the mainstream.

>>73730619
Name?

Honestly either that ctrl, known unknowns or that goldlink album.


I'm hoping the liars record is better than all three.

Not my favourite of the year, but one of the ones that most consistently hits the pleasure centres in my brain. Some of the beats are fucking great.

I listened to that Richard Dawson - Peasant album but couldn't get into it at all, but at the same time, it seemed so distinct and confident in what it was doing that I'd probably throw that out as a general recommendation for anyone, more than the stuff I'm into. Except for this Laurel Halo one, everybody should listen to that too.

>>73732885
Agree. They matured.

>>73734869
genuinely think that yowie album is the best they've ever released

>>73730619

how does drop season compare to his last 2 albums? ramona was my #2 album of 2014 and resin was decent too. is drop season more of a singles collection or like a full album?

>>73735206
I think a lot of people are going into MOTU with the wrong mindset. Its more like a rock opera than a regular album. Listening to it as a cohesive whole (particularly when reading along with the lyric book) makes the whole experience ten times better. I dunno thats just me tho

i feel bad because i haven't really loved anything from this year. my highest ratings are 3.5's. gave a 4.0 to the ATCQ and the Hotelier records from last year :V

My first listen to this I was hoping for more bars and gritty NY sound, so that was a disappointment. Went back to it recently and found myself enjoying it though, it goes well with summer it seems.

Amazing album, really didn't expect it to be this good as I really loved his last album Singing Saw and at first I thought "Come to Me Now" was a weak lead single.

not sure if it's AOTY material, but definitely the difference between how much I expected I'd like it and how much I actually like it is the biggest gulf in several years. this really blew me away.

Kid Koala
Hidden Orchestra
Izo Fitzroy

>>73734225
listening to the album, every song with a feature is marginally worse and the first half is SOOOO much better than the second half

>>73737131

Man, it's decent grime, but defo not AOTY material. Too steeped in the genre with no innovations imo

I cant get into Vince Staples because of his boring-ass hooks. They just repeat a few words x100 and there seems to be 4-6 hooks per song. This is Rihanna level repetitiveness.

If he found someone who could write him meaninful, interesting, catchy choruses, he'd easily breakthrough and be a star. Vince's techno/house/electronic music beats paired with rap are very interesting and remind me of Azalia Banks or Die Antwoord, except he does it better than all of them.

Again, Vince Staples choruses suck and are holding him back
