Ya, I really liked Enjoy Eternal Bliss, but for some reason I haven't quite come around to hearing it yet. I'm sure it's solid tho. Now that you reminded me I'm gonna throw it on my queue, thanks man

So you liked Anonymous Nobody? I'm really nervous about whether I liked it. I hated Drawn and Pain, but still feel like they could pull some great songs together. The features list confuses the hell out of me though

AOTY contenders coming through

This was pretty good

Found it early in rym and it turned to be good

Yeah, I thought it was a great and consistent album. Definitely their best since their late 80s/early 90s heyday.

Sounds good man. I'll check it out some time this weekend and give you my thoughts if you catch me in another one of threads. I just have a weird relationship with them, because Prince Paul is one of my favorite hip hop producers and did genius work for them, but they did trash rapping-wise on 3 feet high. Some of it was just embarrassing really, and I found the songwriting obnoxious. But I love De la Soul is dead and think they have always had potential, so we'll see

>Islah a shit

you blew it by saying the same of bbf desu but finally somebody gets it

followed closely by Even Oxen- Arrayed Among the Seraphim Lights

BBF was fucking bullshit. Okay ten minutes of it was some of the worst music to come out this year, 10 minutes of a shitty MC saying this makes me proud to be british. Okay, I can handle that.

But what we have here is a hypocritical piece of shit that attempts to attack the fake-ness and copycatting that the UK music industry does, all while riding the coat tails of US hip hop culture. It's an embarrassment. This awful MC stumbles his way through every single song, making complete misuse of Blunt's sometimes stellar production. The track where he just gives a bunch of shitty, all-too-obvious "inspirational" advice made me physically cringe, and his inflection was simply grating throughout. It was just a horribly strewn together, scramble-brained art project-turned-mad experiment that was executed awfuly.

Another DOOM album of some kind, please

...

Did you listen to the Dem Atlas self-titled DOOM produced?

1. Elseq 1-5
2. Innocence Reaches

Two fantastic albums

Finally, the right answer

samefag

It's a great album man, why call samefag? Did you not like it?

I'm so split on Innocence Reaches. Of Montreal's my favorite band, and gratuitous and chaos were both incredible songs. My Fair Lady has grown on me too. But there are a few tracks on the album that I really just cannot stand. It's probably the worst lyricism across an album that Kevin's ever given us unfortunately

Wow, this has to be embarrassing

Bladee is the only good thing to come from sadboys. he's actually good at rapping

...

Ya too bad he's godawful at singing. That's the only reason I gave the album a bad score. It was grating as fuck

This is legitimately AOTY right now

...

Mah nigga

Almost as good as TPAB imho

continuing the black/white theme

Supposedly, DOOMSTARKS comes out this year. It's already 6 months past due.

did it leak?

I was expecting some metal shit but this is actually pretty nice

pretty unique list. ill have to dig deep and check some of these artists out.

Atrocity Exhibition will be the AOTY definitely

underrated

2016 = best year for black and white core confirmed?

how can you rate Endless so high? the only really good song on it is U-N-I-T-Y

I haven't really listened to much new music this year.

I agree except I'd personally make Please Be Honest a 7 or higher.

...

Just came out yesterday but I have a feeling it's going to be my favorite

haven't listened to a whole lot in the last month or so

yup

...

You guys got it.

...
