Child Bite - Negative Noise
Haven't listened meany albums this year, but this year got some dope albums
My favorite album is probably Teens of Denial.
...
been a decent year
Are these in order?
haven't heard gizzard yet, among other things
recommendation #2
Great year.
They aren't really sorted in order.
Damon I haven't even heard of a single one of these. Julia Brown's pretty cool so far. Am I supposed to see something in the cover? I swear I'm not color blind.
Fucking autocorrect
Damon = damn
kind of; it's roughly in order of preference
It was surprisingly good; his sampling gimmicks have been falling short for me lately so I was a bit concerned. Dream Reaper is an amazing track and it's rare to hear a song that dark and serious from Nick these days. Too bad it was already released on Soundcloud about a year ago.
A solid 7, almost an 8 for me. Not quite as good as his album from last year, in my opinion.
Elseq can't be topped
Not as good as 2015 but not bad either.
They're tiny strawberries
1:st is pop, 2:nd is ambient (i guess), 3:rd and 4th is techno, 5:th is afrobeat, 6:th is a zorn project (klezmer-fusion),
Wingbeats is pretty interesting. Somewhat cheesy classical mixed with idm and bird noises. Nurse is just a re-release with a lot of new content, and the last is baroque.
Star Charts or Kindred Shadow?
Kindred Shadow
Well I meant a picture within the picture of all the strawberries. It looks like one of those color blind tests. I see kind of a grey blob but that's it. I haven't checked a higher res pic though. This albums really cool actually. Funny how something so good can completely elude most everyone literally all year long. At least I don't recall seeing this on any charts around here.
Is Star Charts worth a listen?
It's a bit inconsistent, but definitely. It isn't that long anyway, since all of Nick's tracks are pretty short. 'Do Something Rhythmic' is my favorite.
I just wish that Nick would make something a bit more abstract again, like Texturebox. He is really the only one making his style of music, but it is quickly becoming tiresome unless he starts experimenting again.
I haven't considered this. I think they're just strawberries, can't see any pattern or anything.
best albums of 2016, in no particular order:
Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition
Autechre - Elseq 1-5
Roy Montgomery - R M H Q
Roly Porter - Third Law
Anxiety – Anxiety
really shitty year, probably the worst ever
you have a very limited taste, that's why you didn't find interesting releases.
haha, nice try.
I listen to a lot of different music genres and I've listened to a lot of records this year, but I still can't name more than a handful of really good or interesting albums.
at least it was better than 2015
Frank ocean's blonde was my fav this year, anyone else's?
noisias outer edges is top tier production
Yes, mine too. It is packed with emotion, and it gets me every time. I might like it more than cO
Tie between A Moon Shaped Pool or Dissociation
AOTY:
Agnes Obel - Citizen of Glass
Runner ups:
Andel Olsen - Muh Womam
Esperanza Spalding - Emily's D+Evolution
Honorable mentions:
Jessy Lanza, Marissa Nadler, Ben Frost, Carla dal Forno, John Beltran, Mitski, Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions

EMOTION Side B
Honestly, I thought it would be a shitty year but it came out pretty great
The Gerogerigegege - Moenai Hai has been my AOTY since the beggining of the year.
As a weezer fan, this wins in my book. Best since pinkerton
well that says more about you than it does about 2016

4. Factory Floor - 25 25

Nice charts,guys
This is in order, Skin is tied with Blonde for #10
Overall, a pretty shit year, 2015 was 20x better
Here's my shit list. No real order, but my number 1 is probably either Boris with Merzbow or Autechre.
No real order here, although I enjoyed the stuff near the top more than the stuff lower down.
Shit taste
Do you notice any particular moments of synchronicity with Boris and Merzbow? It seemed almost entirely arbitrary to me.
BLONDE
L
O
N
D
E
In no particular order:
>BBNG IV
>Blackstar
>A Moon Shaped Pool
>The Life of Pablo
Generic? Maybe, but these albums are good
generic and bad imo
nice list, I should probably give the new kayo dot a proper listen
I'd say this year was better than 2015. My Woman is my first 10/10 in a while so that's a big deal to me
in no particular order
the first song on the Oranssi Pazuzu album blows me away every time
Nice Choices.
Excellent choices.
>I can't believe I took the time to make this.
These are nice lists too.
2016 was actually pretty great.
...
EVERY YEAR IS GREAT
Confirmed and bump
This is my first time posting on Sup Forums in over a year. How did I do?
check your sitting privilege
This is a pretty great list, what's your number one spot? I'm unfamiliar with it
Florist - The Birds Outside Sang
Thanks, will check out
Hey if you liked this record listen to Worry. by Jeff Rosenstock. Came out this year and has a similar vibe, really good
That new PUP was goodass
I've been planning to, I've heard good things about it
So good! I really wish I saw them when they came by on tour, would have been such a sick show. Their shows sell out so quickly now
Still lots of albums unlistened to, its been a good year
>1. Blonde
>2. WORRY.
>3. untitled unmastered.
>4. Weezer (White)
>5. Awaken, My Love
wtf
If you liked Ytamo check out her husband Oorutaichi's music
seconding this
Worry. has great yell-alongs throughout if you're into that sort of shit (which you probably are if you liked white album)
best 2-song opener of the year
have you listened to Teens of Denial? I have similar tastes with you so you might find the album decent
Beyond the Fleeting Gates fucking rocked
Name of album on bottom lefT?
Even without the Merzbow parts, it's still one of my favorites. Those droney Boris rendition of their classic songs are fucking beautiful. I do like the Merzbow stuff in sync with it, as well. It doesn't overshadow Boris' massive sounds and gives it a background to play against.
Have you listened to their first EP's? Even better imo
This album is incredible, I agree
