What's your AOTYSF /mu/?
>>73865588
This was good. May make top 10.
Pic related is mine.
>>73865697
I just found this album too samey. I like a few tracks off it but nothing special.
>>73865588
this record is absolutely insane
>>73865697
but it's his worst album yet
Leaving LA is awesome tho
>>73865721
I really like it too! My favourite is Jupiter but it's a tough chouce what about you
>>73865721
>>73865751
Been meaning to listen to this one. How much of it is Sufjan? I'm not that familiar with the other guys.
>>73865588
>>73865697
Both albums are alright, nothing that special
>>73865721
I actually didn't like this album, I wanted to like it but I couldn't
>pic related is unironically my fav album of the year so far
>>73865751
>>73865771
it's essentially a Sufjan solo project, he clearly wrote the majority of the material, I just think the others are included in the billing because Sufjan usually doesn't have guest musicians on his albums at all.
no way i can choose a favorite song but my top 3 in no particular order are Uranus, Pluto, and Earth.
>>73865588
nothing even comes close desu
>>73865771
He wrote the lyrics and sings them. It sounds a bit different to other albums of his I've leistened to, such as C&L and Illinois, but it's still great imo.
If I could describe the feel of the album I think I'd say it feels a bit like kid A, with some synthesised beats and some real drums, large scale electronic sounds and overpowering echoing motifs. It feels very space-like, which is good.
My kind of music
>>73865788
Give Peasant another go. Maybe its not for you, but Richard Dawson is incredibly inventive the structure of his songs and his guitar playing its hard to not be entertained. It's the kind of album where a track really stands out to you, then another one does and another until you end up loving the whole thing.
>>73865814
So more like the Age of Adz?
>>73865834
k i guess
>>73865588
>>73865721
p. good.
Top 3 on this are probably:
>Crack Up
>Peasant
>On the Echoing Green
>>73865825
this by a mile
Been listening to Xiu Xiu consistently since the leak so probably that.
2017 been reel good so far
>>73866068
YESS fucking Wild Pink.
No one here ever talks about that album and it is greatness.
>>73866103
Yeah, it's really good. That and the new Sorority Noise always hit me in the feels.
>>73866136
If you've never listened to the Rocketboys, Wild Pink reminds me a lot of them.

>>73866169
Thanks, I dig it.
>>73866068
i cannot get into the new free throw. otherwise very nice
>>73866068
>Rozwell Kid
Legitimately surprised to see this here.
>>73866385
Yeah, I haven't listened to it much since release. I'll probably remove that and Shabazz Palaces soon.
emo fag here. top 10 probably in order. yall sleepin on code orange
>>73865588
I already posted this in another similar thread a few days ago, but since you asked.
>>73866505
Ah shit, I thought Code Orange was last year.
peasant is one of the coolest albums i've heard in a while
>>73866555
forgot to add, thanks op!
I didn't see this thread earlier.
Any other albums that are in direct competition? Also Sun kil Moon vs Jesu/skl. Melvins and Colin are the ones I'm most unsure if ones better.
Top five.

Yeah this and Meeting of the Waters are clear favs for me although there are some albums I really should listen to and havent yet
>>73867515
I just realized there's like 0 metal or jazz on my list really, can someone rec me some good records from those genres that came out recently?
if the third album is as good as the first two in the trilogy, Ruler Rebel / Diaspora / The Emancipation Procrastination gotta be up there
>>73867621
forgot to tag you in >>73867636
Christian Scott is killer right now. He released 2 albums this year and plans to release a third as well to complete this trilogy.
Also his older album Stretch Music is worth checking out.
>>73867621
Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra - Vula
Angles 9 - Disappeared Behind the Sun
Brötzmann / Leigh - Sex Tape
Jandek - Dallas Thursday
Saagara - 2
nothing has topped it yet
>>73865825
name?
I'm actually astounded by how perfect this came out. This is the best anco-related release since Fall Be Kind.
>>73865825
yep easily.
Jaguar God is easily a contender for one of my favorite tracks of the year so far
>>73867515
>5. Ellen Arkbro - For Organ and Brass
>7. Guerilla Toss - GT Ultra
>10. Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods
Some of my lowest scores
>>73867701
this is pretty good
kpop isn't so bad after all
New Boris album is definitely number 1, but I've liked a lot of albums so far
>>73867621
from 2017
Miguel Zenon - Tipico
Chris Potter - The Dreamer is the Dream
>>73868371
GODDDAMIT I JUST WANT TO FIND A LINK I WILL KILL EVERYONE
>>73869794
http://www116.zippyshare.com/v/6TR63tu2/file.html
There ya go m8. Pretty sure it hasn't been leaked in top quality, it's just a web rip of wherever it is they're streaming it I think. I haven't listened to Boris myself so I can't attest for the quality but it says 256 from my source.
>>73867621
Black Focus by Yussef Kamaal is some properly decent recent jazz
>>73869956
Luv u bby
Still need to listen to the new Avey Tare album.
New Laurel Halo was kinda disappointing.
Recs?
>>73869794
it's their best album since Pink, definitely a 9.5/10 at least
>>73867621
here is some
Bussonnet / Collignon / Godin / Vaillant - Wax'in
Kevin Eubanks - Eat west time line
Pierre Boussaguet - Le semeur
Madness tenors - Be jazz for jazz
Hadouk - Le cinquième fruit
Naïssam Jalal & rhythms of resistance - Almat wala almazala
Francois Carrier - Freedom is space for the spirit
Jens Kristian Andersen - From the nocturnal chironian
Gregory Sallet - Le mouvement crée la matière
Guillaume Perret - Free
>>73870173
Perret was last year mate
Anyone else feel like it's been an incredible year for electronic/ambient/drone-type music, and a shit year for everything else?
>>73870183
aw, shit
make room for Thomas de Pourquery - Sons of love, then
>>73870151
>>73869956
Holy fuck I just started it and it's already amazing.
>>73867701
best taste in the thread
>tfw the best song is the japanese bonus track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUYdepWlBhY
>>73870213
I'd agree that electronic/ambient stuff has been pretty on point this year, but there's been good releases in other genres as well.
Not my 2017 chart, just 2017 electronic stuff.
>>73870133
I haven't listened to a single album off your list, so I'll just list a rec for a few different genres:
Ambient-pop: Jacaszek - KWIATY
Jazz: Aki Takase & David Murray - Cherry Sakura OR Arve Henriksen - Towards Language
Drone: Lawrence English - Cruel Optimism OR Robedoor - New Age Sewage
Pop: Thomas Azier - Rouge OR Tiny Hazard - Greyland
Soul: Bastien Keb - 22.02.85
Rock: The Moonlandingz - Interplanetary Class Classics OR '68 - Two Parts Viper OR Big Walnuts Yonder - s/t OR Bent Knee - Land Animal OR Tunabunny - PCP Presents Alice in Wonderland Jr.
Electronic - Ryuichi Sakamoto - async OR Hauschka - What If OR Bola - D.E.G
Ambient: Ryuichi Sakamoto - async OR Anjou - Epithymia OR Gaussian Curve - The Distance
New covers of old masters of Swing, upbeat old music like Louie Armstrong: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Louie Louie Louie (would really rec this just if you're looking for something really fun to make you grin).
Bodyguard & Narkopop
>>73867813
not really
Sleep Cycle beats this by a mile
>>73870133
Have you listened to the new Heaven In Her Arms?
>>73865588
>>73865825
these two are the sweet shit
>>73866406
but it sucks
>>73870555
Awesome! I've been meaning to check out that Jacaszek album for a while so I'll give that and some of these others a go.
>>73871142
Haven't yet, although I've been considering it.
>>73872952
So fucking incredible.
>>73867919
it's fucking great
the rest of the album is alright too, nowhere near as bad as some people have made out
