the first one he hasn't tried yet? If he's tried all of the methods than he can just pick the one he's tried the least.
If he doesn't know where to begin with a chart he can just download the first one he hasn't heard that is closest to the upper left corner of the chart

>>73980305
there are more than 80 albums on rym and the internet for that matter. i believe in you anon

>>73979015
I'd say just kill yourself but you probably wouldn't be able to decide how.

All of these are terrible with maybe the exception of
>looking trough a music critics positive reviews
and even then you would need to find critics that you tend to align with which is far more difficult than finding new albums.

You've probably heard of /mu/core
Genre lists tend to be more historical and popularity than quality oriented.
the slsk community has seemed pretty retarded while interacting
recthreads on /mu/ require a keen eye for this sort of thing to shift through all the crap
daily is a bunch of tripfag pseuds
The only two /mu/ generals worth anything are /bleep/ and /classical/
yt reccomends essentially /mu/core or worse
every streaming service is garbage, don't use them.
>reading wikipedia for music history
rym's algorithms are also garbage
exploring discographies is actually a pretty decent suggestion
How do you know where to start in a genre? Randomness will lead to a lot of shitty albums.

>>73979015
To not only shit on other people, here are a few fun projects off the top of my head
>track down your favorite band's musical influences to the beginning of 20th century
>choose a country at random, give yourself a quick auditory rundown that country's folk music history
>choose a random classical composer and listen to their best works. suppliment with academic works
>get into field recordings. chris watson is probably the easiest starting point
>try to make your own music - no mattery how shitty. make a recording.
>go outside, listen to the sounds of your neighborhood.

>digging through the labels that released your favorite niche albums
>exploring your local scene(s)
>finish discographies of artists you enjoy if you haven't yet
>talking to people in real life
