AOTY thus far/AOTY list WIP

Anyone sold on their AOTY yet? There's a couple that are pretty big on my potential list.

Pic related.

well it's certainly not TLOP

All killer, no filler

>Radiohead
You know they're not actually good anymore, right?

Tlop

While I have a certain affinity for TLOP, it's too flawed to be AOTY. Might be no. 2

It's obviously elseq and if you disagree you're a massive pleb

TLOP, BP and Blackstar in that order.

Dillinger Escape Plan - Dissociation clearly.

Autechre haven't been good since Untitled lmao

>Untitled

That's one that's certainly in the running, quite an album to go out with

hey cut him some slack, maybe he meant LP5, which is technically untitled

BP?

Deaf grapes

Blackstar or Atrocity Exhibition for me, but I haven't listened to a ton of new stuff this year.

...

Might not. That album was shit, and there were far better hip hop albums that came out this year:

Nxworries - Yes Lawd
Anderson .Paak - Malibu
BADBADNOTGOOD - IV
Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD - Sour Soul
Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered
YG - Still Brazy
Schoolboy Q - Blank Face

Radiohead or Vektor

elseq, Skeleton Tree, The Glowing Man, Terminal Redux, Blackstar and Atrocity Exhibition for me

>goes on RYM once

Sour Soul was released last year tho

I definitely liked this album more than Lighght. It had a couple of boring moments but when it got more upbeat musically and more 'dancey' it was great.

This is going to be hard to beat for me.

Who Really Cares is definitely my #1

...

TPLT had three good songs max dude

Oops

James Blake

boring moments like what? I didn't think it was as good as lighght but after a few more listens I could hardly see anything wrong with it.

Blackstar, but Sleep Cycle is a close second

Noname

Atrocity Exhibition

Yeah gotta give it to Elseq. Shit is too good

you want it darker, unless something better comes out

the new Inquisition

It's between Danny Brown and Vektor for me but imo both are 8/10, I still have hopes for something to surprise me.

>tfw due to the current state of Sup Forums you're probably serious

:(

Nicolas Jaar - Sirens

The only album from this year that I haven't gotten bored with (yet)

The new Ichiko Aoba

There's always the dark horse though

>Implying Sup Forums wasn't always this bad

>ctrl+f
>no avalanches / wildflower
I haven't listened to black star though
TLOP is bad (wolves bjork drake leak when?)
moon shaped pool had a couple good songs but isn't even considered AOTY potential

Do people actually believe that TLOP was anything but utter dogshit, or is this one of those memes again?

Respectable

This is far and beyond my favourite this year. It doesn't seem that well-liked on this board

...

Savage Mode

>RYM
>ever wrong

haven't listened to anything AOTY worthy yet, which sucks because i've been able to determine one every year since 2010

The life of Pablo Honey
Kanye/Radiohead mashup

Iggy Pop
Petite Melor

every option besides blank face is no where near aoty lmao

it does a lot of things that no other rap album I've heard does. Stuff like Ultralight Beams, Famous, Waves, FML, and Wolves are pretty much Kanye exclusive sounds. While I don't even like each track on the album, there's so much potential on there in each idea that I have to give them some credit. Each "bleached her asshole" moment is something I choose to look past.

either suns tirade or tcia

The issue Blank Face is horribly inconsistent, each track like Groovy Tony has a converse in Big Body or Overtime that detracts. While it does well in maintaining that grimy sound, it's got a lot of flaws.(Not as many as TLOP though. but to me not as many highlights either)

Same im all for tgm aoty

Famous is half a good song at best

This..Its just so good

bump

Angel Olsen - My Woman
clipping - Splendor and Misery
Hanba - Hanba
Jambinai - Jambinai
Japanese Breakfast - Psychopomp
King Gizzard - Nonagon Infinity
Mystery Jets - Curve of the Earth
tomppabeats - Harbor

I have high hopes for the new Clarence Clarity that I'm praying will come soon.

...

Pic related, I also ordered the Deluxe version, gonna get it by Christmas I think.
also honourable mentions:
>King Gizzard and The Lizzard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity
>David Bowie - Blackstar
>Yndi Halda - Under Summer
>Sabaton - The Last Stand

thanks for the responses thus far guys. I'll be back in a couple of weeks to repost the thread and see what we've got then.

lemon demon tbqh

...

Probably pic related. I was only a modest Avalanches fan prior, but Wildflower really surprised me, combining baroque/psych-pop with hip-hop and disco. The Beach Boys are my favorite band and I'm a hip-hop fan, so it seems the album was made specifically for me. I also really liked The Glowing Man and Blonde

...

Aborted - retrogore

When it first came out earlier in the year everyone freaked the fuck out but seems like Bowie has overshadowed it now that we are later

Shit, david bowie died

Hey I mean, you know, making an album with three good songs on it out of like 19 or so must be worth something, right?

Just because something is unique doesn't make it good

S'alright, but I'd rate Konichiwa a better album of '16 straight off

6.3 for Opeth? Fucks sake

Great album. A necessary reminder that this massive exodus of the indie bands toward a more accessible sound that's happened this year can go well.

It was a good album, it just wasn't nearly as original as a lot of their past stuff. I prefer the more metal-oriented Opeth

wtf I didn't even know Aidan Baker or James Holden released anything this year

What's autistic about rating the music I listen to based on my enjoyment of it

Sicko Mobb seriously underrated here my man did you even listen to it? prolly my aoty desu (2 b onist)

As good as Swans

ITT: pleb memes

Was gonna ask this but AYI would always do it in reverse order so probs not, just some new autist.

of course I listened to it twice lol. It was unbearable. Way too saccharine and bubblegum, and the singing was tragically bad. Their lyrics are fucking absent the whole album, so it really was just trash to me, personally.

>>Sabaton - The Last Stand
based

Haven't listened to all that many albums to be honest. Biggest disappointment was Jesu/Sun Kil Moon for sure. I'd rather just listen to just jesu, or just sun kil moon. Wasn't a good mix to me.
