AOTY Thread

AOTY Thread

I like Saturday night but the voice sample wherever it's from kinda kills the track for me. I feel it just keeps interrupting the flow of the track. Anyone else agree? Still love that song though.

...

...

it really annoys me that someone who's considered a talented and gifted and intelligent artist put this, on purpose, as his album cover for his actual studio album of music that he takes seriously i mean i'm sure this has some serious deep meaning to you but like what the fuck man

>you
by that i mean kanye, not you, user

It's just Kanye being ironic. It's like Sup Forums's ironic humor

Is there really any doubt?

nah

probably

...

This desu

I really didn't want this to be my AOTY, but it's the only record where anybody sounds like they're having any fun this year...

other than Wildflower, that is.

AHHH FRANKIE SINATRA

...

Here u go m8

>liking wildflower
>calling me reddit

Nobody desperately clings to dead memes quite like a redditor, that was the giveaway.

funk
Lord funk - Global warming
First touch - Knockout
Magic source - Earthrising
The funk touch - Play funk
Sasac - Future disc

jazz
Henri Texier - Dakota mab
Joachim Kühn - Beauty & truth
Mauro Gagano - Suite for battling Siki
Joëlle Léandre - Can you hear me ?
Michael Wollny - Nachtfahrten / Klangspuren

psych
Vibravoid - Live in Finkenbach
The cosmic dead - Rainbowhead
Bardo pond - Acid Guru Pond
Earthless / Harsh toke - Acid crusher / Mount Swan
Acid mothers temple & the melting paraiso U.F.O. - Wake to a new dawn of another astro era

maybe you should stop desperately to wildflower then, redditor

>le i know u are but wut am i meme

Thanks for confirming my assumption lol

ITT: samefagging

>'The Wozard Of Iz'


I liked Wildflower a lot ( Frankie Sinatra and Subways are still growing on me though ) But 'The Wozard of Iz' is a fucking BEAST. I can't stop listening it

Haven't listened to Wildflower enough yet but its still BP for me

I don't even like country.

Good picks anons.

...

easy

it is really adictive

2deep4u

get outta here meme boys

i really really liked that album tho

This by quite a landslide. One of Xiu Xiu's best albums, perfectly crafted in their own style of extremely dark, weird but also still over the top.


Good pick too, probably my runner up.

Some placeholders, but so far these are pretty good...

i think that's the best part of the track. It adds so much emotional depth. So much love. And the guitars.

...

...

>no blackstar yet
fools

this was a highlight for me on the album but i can't help wishing danny wasn't on it having heard the instumental version. his verse seems out of place and that whole 'extra pills, EXTRA PILLS' bit at the end really just irks me.

>ctrl+f Lemonade
>0 results

...

...

Black Mountain's IV is fantastic. I've been digging the new parquet courts as well. I thought gore was a little disappointing, and I maintain Life of pablo is wank though

No love for the new Yeasayer?

probably soon to be taken over by that katie dey album

You actually have bad tast. BAAD FUCKING TASTE. NOT GOOD. GOOSE

...

don't know if it's just me but being from the north of england i find james blake's voice hilarious/unbearable

Also Autolux, Matmos, Suuns, Xiu Xiu

...

lmao do they still make music what the hell

I was surprised too

Is it out already??

My AOTYSF list is:
Andy Stott - Too Many Voices
Sound of Ceres - Nostalgia for Infinity
Animal Collective - Painting With
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
David Bowie - Blackstar
Deakin - Sleep Cycle
Looking forward to the new of Montreal, Boogarins, and Gorillaz

agreed

Why the fuck is The Noisy Eater and Frankie Sinatra on this album it would be.a 10/10 if they were deleted.

This 100%

>noisy eater
>bad

Pleb alert

...

>art has to be aesthetically pleasing

...

...

Frankie Sinatra I usually skip. But I like The Noisy Eater, that's some classic Biz Markee man.

I love Aesop, been playing the shit out of this album... It's lighter in subject than Skelethon but the flows are more in concept. It's dope.

not AOTY but cool

contender

Probably Blackstar honestly, one of only albums i can see myself coming back to/

God this year is shite

Really? I think that's what makes the track. I get shivers down my spine when he says "I adored the way she modified my mornings"

Leaning towards Elseq or Vixit for aoty

glad to see someone mentioning Good Luck And Do Your Best. Pretty good picks user

this

This is definitely a contender, surprised me how good it was

Contender for mixtape of the year. Yachty probably has him beat with both of his tapes though

They were both good songs but they didn't feel like they fit at all

i like both quite a bit desu

This or Sleep Cycle.
and are good too

This

I was instantly in love with this record, and I as well don't really listen to country

maybe he just really wanted an ass on the cover, did you ever think about that?

nah

in rough order but will probably change before the end of the year once I finish elseq

Arca - Entrañas
Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom EP
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
Weezer - Weezer (White Album)
Hak - JUNE

Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
BADBADNOTGOOD - IV
Brockhampton - All-American Trash
Babyfather - "BBF" Hosted By DJ Escrow
Anohni - Hopelessness

The Avalanches - Wildflower
Eliot Sumner - Information
Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit
Anderson Paak - Malibu
David Bowie - Blackstar [Explicit]

>>BADBADNOTGOOD - IV
you can't actually like that haven't you seen the fantano review?

Wildflower is quite good too

It's the best part of the track user.

literally the only contenders posted ITT

>watching annie fantano
wew

runners up include Wildflower & Impossible Kid

Steve Gunn, love his guitar playing and songwriting

def not aoty but it's on my 2016 list. I used to wake up wanting to listen to it

I really couldn't get into Freetown Sound at all. I thought it was groovy at first but eventually it all blended together in one, boring synth drone

Only correct choice

Maybe if you have shit taste

I still have a ton of stuff on a list to sift through but so far:

[9]
The Avalanches - Wildflower (AOTYSF)
Deakin - Sleep Cycle

[8]
David Bowie - Blackstar
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
Venetian Snares - Traditional Synthesizer Music

[7]
Masabumi Kikuchi - Black Orpheus
Mike & The Melvins - Three Men & A Baby
