Objectively this
Top 10 EPOTY
1. Nails - You'll Never B-1 of Us
2. Carly Rae Jepsen - Side B
3. Black Sabbath - The End

6. Massive Attack - Spirit/Spoils
7. The Wild Now - Tides
8. Krallice - Hyperion
9. Barghest - Teeth split

Over about 25 minutes is an LP, I don't care what the artist says. Previously released songs, remixes, etc. can be discounted for time qualification.

meme music
meme poster
yeah I dont get it either. What I heard added nothing of value to the original but I only checked out a couple songs.
>i don't understand it
>therefore it's a meme
kys
This was my AOTY until pic related came out
blow me
or you could tell me what it adds of value
It added some super sinister vibes to the soundtrack that go along nicely with the really dark undertones of the show. As a massive Twin Peaks fan I loved it and the new context the music was put in
Yo wassup
ok but laura palmer's theme for example, wasnt that already sinister?
Yeah I agree it was. But a lot of the other songs on the original soundtrack aren't.
Don't get me wrong, I think the original is much better (it is one of my favorite albums ever), but I loved hearing the songs that I know and love played in a much different, but still good way. That grammar was poor but hopefully you see my point
...
>AHHHH FRANK SINATRA
^ worst song of the year
The correct answer OP is pic related
I'll keep going but I just finished laura palmer's theme and thought it was disgusting if not even insulting. It just added a drum metronome and what sounded like pots and pans. wow its fucking nothing
speaking of wow its fucking nothing
Hey yeah I mean I am super biased bc I am such a big fan of the show. It's definitely not for everyone
This and Nonagon have been on repeat all year for me.
>Objectively for me
Huh?
jesus christ what the fuck is this
yeah I'm gonna abort mission
Have you ever been listening to Pink Room and thought it was great but wished it sucked instead?
Packard's Vibration and Nightsea Wind are the only songs I don't like from it.
Pink Room is bretty gud
>Nonagon
>Been on repeat
1. 2. Tim Hecker - Love Streams
3. Frank Ocean - Blonde
4. Jenny Hval - Blood Bitch
5. Vektor - Terminal Redux
6. 7. Perturbator - The Uncanny Valley
8. 9. Wormrot - Voices
10. Sumerlands - s/t
I didn't listen to A Tribe Called Quest's record. I haven't listened to any of their music before.
But out of all the albums I did listen to this year, Blackstar was my favorite.
If were being honest with ourselves...
Blackstar was also bretty great IMO
ah fuck what look what I've done
also top ten
Nah. It was good, but it's too by the numbers, they weren't trying it on, some of it was dead.
Nonagon was so bad and repetitive. 12 Bar Bruise is much better
I really could not stand this album aside from If I Was a Folkstar
Too pleb for this record. I listened to it a few times and just can't get into it.
Is there a better Nick Cave record to start with than Skeleton Tree?
personal favorite. i can't be the only one.
>all these posts and no blonde
bunch of contrarian faggots ITT
...
Either Everything Feels Better Now by From Indian Lakes or 22, A Million by Bon Iver.
Murder Ballads
No More Shall We Part
Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
Dig Lazarus Dig
all good starting points, work out from which ever one you pick
been a good year
Oh! Here's your (You)!
Have you heard all the original songs that Wildflower remixes?
But he's right, though.
AOTY
...
yeah I wanted to make a joke about having nonagon on repeat but I couldnt settle on one. I insist there's a good one in there somewhere though e.g. how do you know when the album starts over?
:^)ð›²
...
fuck I always forget Grandfeathered came out this year
kill yourself
Life of Pablo is good, but Yeezy lost it. This album looses it's direction to easily, if it had any in the beggining. Maybe in the top 20, but not top 5 of the year.
Naaaah. Not really. The only thing he got right is that Nonagon is repetitive, but as it should be obvious to anyone that that's the fundamental concept of the album, I'm not going to give him any plaudits for that. 12 Bar Bruise is a vastly inferior record on every single level, from concept to execution. I love it, but to say that it's as good as Nonagon Infinity, let alone better, just shows how fucking DadRock this place has become.
Kiddy Pool Dreams is disqualified though because it came out last year on a 10"
...
whats your aoty
no
>Two songs in and I already dislike
Meeeeeh
yeah I'm a sucker for this style and I couldnt stand t
it came out soooooooooo early and easily remained the bar for shoegaze/dream pop for the duration of the year
this one but im not him
yeah I'm a sucker for this style and I couldnt stand it
Did you hear that Cloakroom signed to veteran metal label Relapse
it's ok it's not for everyone
hot damn, I had no idea
& this link to their BC page also informed me of a show in my area next month so good shit user
Top 3 for me are probably:
Blackstar
A Moon Shaped Pool
Elseq
British domination with black and white album covers
I dunno man, I guess I'm just way more into lofi pop than prog shit. 12 Bar Bruise is my favorite of theirs because of that
oh awesome glad I could help
>loli pop
>Elseq
spot the hipster
Lofi, not loli, you perv
hey fuck you
Fair Dos. Just remember pic related.
this is definitely in top 5 for sure
it's an extremely well produced album with a unique innovative sound, with a hint of satire.
Venomous Concept is half British and it came out the same day as Bowie
striking similarity seeing them next to each other
Witch In Her Tomb - Meditations
Mortualia - Wild, Wild Misery
Yith - dread
Street Sects - End Position
Swans - The Glowing Man
Darkthrone - Arctic Thunder
in that order. i'm indifferent to everything else i've heard desu.
Progressive Rock AOTY coming through
nice freudian slip there
have a seat
>album art
>font
not general? whats your general aoty then?
I feel like this is exactly what the world needs:
Dream Theater is getting a digital board game based off of their latest album The Astonishing
It's in development right now and will be available soon for iOS and Android
as a free download with additional content available as in-app purchases.
Help the princess find her music player and save the kingdom from tyranny!
it's certainly not the person with three incredibly middle-of-the-road obvious choices
...
as the poster of I don't know if I should take offense or not
Did you read the Miranda Pitchfork review that just came out? I thought it was really good although I disagree with the score of course.
