>was 2017 the worst year for electronic albums so far?
no
dont worry in 2018 there'll be someone rapping over autechre and it'll all be worth it

Lmao, I guess Microhouse wasn't a thing for way over a decade before Immunity and having garage beats with modified soul samples wasn't a thing before Untrue. Untrue's influential though I'll give it that.
Arca and Async were trash. New Jlin's great though it's a bit tough to get into because of its offputting atmosphere and focus on mostly percussion. Very creative as well because it uses the same few handfuls of sounds to create large collages of rhythmic interplay. Neo Wax Bloom is the electronic album I always wanted; too much minimalist structured stuff in electronic music, so Neo Wax Bloom adds chaotic complex structure along with a very colorful palette of sounds.
what the fuck why is everyone sleeping on my boi Siriusmo?

OPN produces Kanye’s new album or we riot
muh innovation muh genre muh how 'fresh' that album does is more important than what emotions it evokes
do you really think albums become known as groundbreaking because of what new production techniques they bring to the table? or is it because of how they make people feel? you write like you think it's the former and it's kind of embarrassing
What's with people on this board shitting on async? It's a great album, stop disrespecting King Sakamoto-sama please.
did you check out the yves tumor (pic related) album from this year?
idk if you'd dig it as it's pretty minimalist, but his use of samples and they way he embeds it in his sound is pretty interesting. check it if you have a spare 45, it's free.
The only reason those albums won any AOTY lists is because they're made by a faggot, a womyn of colour, a weeb and an ironic soyboy, respectively.
Identity trumps talent in this day and age, grandpa. Go back to the last century if you want music for the music content.
