>tfw I've kept every end of year chart I've made since 2011
Comes in handy for threads like these
>>49275581
the first one is called Tragedy and it's really weird and has a lot of field recording-ish stuff.
the second one is called ekstasis and it's my personal favorite. the type of music is sort of a middle ground between loud city song and tragedy

Cheers, might check out both, description sounds appealing
>>49275713

man die boat, 2moros harvest, shaking the habitual, black pukee and jungle revolution have had the most replay value since I made the chart
1. Field Of Reed
2. R Plus 7
3. Shaking The Habitual
STH could have been GOAT with some editing

Dude, awesome! Hope you dig it when you finally get around to it.
And I know that feel, I have a shit ton of stuff to get through as well.
>>49276021
didnt like it much. a couple of the tracks are good but I thought the ambient/piano parts were pretty weak

Pretty weak year IMO. This was the first 2013 album I heard and it was still my favourite nearly 600 albums later.

I didn't even think of having an AOTY until I listened to that. Good taste, OP

Obviously I could have just rated a bunch of albums I haven't heard but I'm massively autistic and could never do that.
>>49276549
Doesn't sound right. Sometimes it takes me weeks before I realize an album's potential. I remember several albums where I didn't think much of them on the first listen but had some song from it stuck in my head a week later. A lot of my favorite albums were slow burners that took a while to get used to.
rest is privilege [*]
>>49276593
how do you listen to 600 albums a year and listen to such crap
>>49276461

>>49276546
>>49276549
>>49276593
>>49276619
>>49276629
I feel like listening to that many albums devalues the music. You're treating it as a commodity to collect rather than allowing it to fully set in.
>>49276619
Yeah there are a few like that, and I can often spot them straight away. There were a few albums that I didn't like at first but I thought I could after a while so I put them on regularly
I've started going back into the ones that I liked but only heard once or twice recently and yeah there are some fantastic records there, so I'm sure there are some that are "slow burners", but if I get too worried about finding them my autism goes mad.
>>49276629
opinions
>>49275736
Yes this was perfect.
>>49276698
>opinions
no really you avoided every single good album last year, and im not talking about the p4k selection that 90% of this thread has picked out
>>49276661
Except it's not as if I go bragging on the internet because that's a moronic thing to do. I mentioned it in this thread to give perspective to the coincidence that the first album I heard of the year was the best. I feel listening to that much allows me to give equal weight to underground bands and popular artists, and I can use that to spread those musicians.
I'm getting my own website for my reviews soon if that means anything, so I don't just do this for listening.
Chelsea Wolfe in second place. Maybe Darkside, Jon Hopkins or Blood Orange in third
>>49276722
>tim heck
>dark ambient
>>49276725
>avoided every single good album
I'm sure I did hear them, I just didn't like them.
Because of opinions.
>>49276742
you did brag though. see here:
>This was the first 2013 album I heard and it was still my favourite nearly 600 albums later.
that way be too subtle for even you to realize it but if you dont need to say it and you say it anyways, thats bragging
absolutely loved this.
Realize most of /mu/ is gonna shit on this one.
>>49276761
It's ambient and it has a dark feel to it...
I guess I should go with drone / ambient or something.
>>49276786
Is listening to a lot of music really grounds for bragging? I have no social life and you guys think I'm proud of that?

mmmm
>>49276786
it sounded like hyperbole to me, he probably listened to a lot of albums, and said 600 kinda like we say " a million albums later" or something. But yeah if you've actually listened to 600 between now and last year you have not taken the time to appreciate anything from 2013 through 2014

>>49276803
I can tell you, it definitely is not dark ambient.

Oh well...

I ain't changing it.
>>49276868
>if you listen to music a lot, you must not like music
Dude just because you need to listen to something 20 times to get it doesn't mean I have to. According to RYM it's 695 from 2013 and 375 from this year so far. I'm sure at least 60% of those are single-listens, and even my favourite recent albums won't have got more than 10 listens, but that is all I need to appreciate it.
>>49276887
Wrong year
>>49277011
You're right. I'm embarrassed.
My 2013 top 5:
1. Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork
2. Candy Claws - Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time
3. Jon Hopkins - Immunity
4. There Will Be Fireworks - The Dark, Dark Bright
5. The World is a Beautiful Place... - Whenever, If Ever
>>49275875
Oh I didn't see that post. No, you're the tasteless pleb, only p4k drones like LCS.
it was a pretty good year
>>49277246
>p4k drones
top buzzword m9
Everyone saying it was a "weak year" makes me laugh.
>>49277286
>All Seeing Hand
damn didn't even know anyone knew them. Their stuff is a bit 2deep4me but their live show is fuckin killer
>>49277296
he's right though
>>49277357
They showed up relatively often in 2013 sharethreads
>>49277400
Ok right I don't touch sharethreads. They have something of a cult following here but that's just because they have a mental live set
>>49277397
if you can't express your opinion on why it's a bad album without empty buzzwords like "p4k drone" then i have no reason to take you seriously
![Queensryche_with_Todd_La_Torre_-_Queensrÿche_2013[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/CPCTOvs.jpg "Queensryche_with_Todd_La_Torre_-_Queensrÿche_2013[1].jpg")
Well, not really. It's like a 7/10 overall - the album's way too short and the dynamic range is compressed as fuck - but actually seeing a decent album from this band for the first time in 20 years was a nice surprise for someone who really enjoys early QR. Kicking Tate out really was the best thing to ever happen to this band.
>>49276244
No kidding, I had to actually buy it since there weren't any DL links when it came out.
>>49276301
This isn't me btw, but it's nice to know there's a link to DL it now. Probably would've uploaded it to mega if I wasn't at work.
I really liked Love Now by Mean Lady
>>49277563
My nigga.
>>49275935
i like this one really much
Not really but, honorable mention
>>49277886
I wish Blank Banshee would do a proper album, he's very good but his mixtapes just feel so incomplete
Best album of 2013.
>>49278474
it was good, but a couple songs were unbearable
>Delusional Waste
or didn't fit into the album right
>High On It
>>49275685
>>49275503
This.
Honorable mentions:
>>49275539 and >>49277886
>>49278761
>>49275503
I'd like this one a lot better if it wasn't for that dumb as fuck skittery section in the second half of Americans.
>>49275561
Call me a drone but this was fantastic
>>49275561
>>49278800
I recognize this album is good, but other than
>muh lyrics
it's relatively average Pop to my ears.
>>49276131
That is one of the prettiest album covers I've ever seen.
>>49276018
this
>>49278814
>>49278936
pls no bully
>>49278968
Seriously though, really? I'm not saying it was really really bad but I definitely wouldn't say it's even in the top 20 albums last year. Everything they do with Asa is just so boring.
>>49279071
To be honest, I like the last three tracks more than the other two. Also there wasn't anything else that really caught my attention for 2013, that's why I lurk this thread.
>>49278814
I used to like these guys a lot when I was pleb but that EP was 2cheesy4me despite perfect production
2013 was a great year though. Om-Unit's Threads was probably personal aoty, followed by:
>R Plus Seven
>Immunity
>Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time
>Tomorrow's Harvest
>Chance of Rain
>>49275713
did you use topsters? How did you customize it like that?
>>49278936
>>49278814
it's decent don't laugh
Best year of the decade so far for music in my opinion

>>49280388
King Krule ruins it IMO.
>>49280271
agree. specially good for idm/bloops
>>49280421
I'm a big King Krule fan so I quite enjoyed his features on the album. The album is more sentimental to me and is why it's my AOTY as opposed to it being by far the most musically impressive album of 2013.
>>49275548
At least you're honest.
>>49280271
Yes, it's this one
>>49279515
Oh well never mind
here's mine, besides the first, there's no order
>>49276798
I thought the album was really well recieved.. one of my favourites too
Did everyone forget about the only real answer?
>>49276461
>>49277286
Your'e cool guys, my AOTY would be that, Coal by Leprous or pic related
>>49280617
Nice, they were both in my top 10. I was really disappointed in Coal at first because it wasn't as good as Bilateral or TPS, but I dig it now.
Check out some of the other shit in my list if you're into that sort of prog - I'd especially recommend Blindead's latest album to someone who likes Leprous and Riverside
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Gallifrey/2013/
>>49280617
>Riverside
yes
>Leprous
very yes
pic related is one of my favourites
>>49276625
i feel like this album will only be appreciated in five years' time
For the people posting: how many of you pirated your AOTY?
>>49280763
I'm assuming everyone, but I own 7 out of my top 10 now.
>>49280694
Oh, I know you, I have regualrly seen you posting here and your RYM reviews are pretty great, the Kim Dotcom and AAL one made me laugh hard
>>49280702
That one was also great, I also liked new Amplifier and Spock's Beard, but was disappointed by Karnivool and TesseracT.
>>49280763
the only record I ever bought that wasn't from my country
>>49280763
I pirated Steven Wilson, but got his CD together with QOTSA for Christmas
>>49280837
Thanks :)
Good to know some people read my reviews since I put a stupid amount of effort into them.
>>49280779
>>49280852
>>49280929
I ask not out of self righteousness. I'm just wondering how it would be possible for someone, without pirating, to have an actually sophisticated view of the year in music.

>>49278761
This is actually very easily the worst OPN release. I would maybe consider giving it an honorable mention, if that.
>>49275548
disgusting
>>49281826
not at all lol
>>49281881
u wot? It his best release. It's a unique experience that I doubt we'll ever hear again. Why didn't you like it?
Maybe the next album will be R plus 7 taken to the next level
>>49282002
No, no, you've got it all wrong.
Russian Mind > Replica > Betrayed in the Octagon > Returnal > Zones Without People > Commissions I > R Plus Seven
>>49282053
Don't get me wrong, I love his synth stuff, but the actual list is:
R + 7 > Replica > Returnal = Russian Mind > Betrayed in the Octagon > Commisions > Memory Vague > Zones Without People
Might have fucked it up slightly it hard to remember how each of the synth albums sounded because they were pretty similar, but still good tho.
>>49282002
if it follows up what he did with pic related he'll achieve legendary status. very hard for an artist to deliver 4 almost perfect and incredibly memorable releases in a row.
>>49282320
ikr. I hope he continues with more like R plus and Commisions. I put it low here>>49282247
because it was only 3 songs. Let's see if he puts out another album this year

Hell yeah.
Did you listen to this yet? It's their RSD 20-minute drone/post-rock instrumental thing.
>>49287012
Pretty good as well. It was cool do see them do a proper post-rock song, just because their music seems to influenced by the genre. They are working on a new album right now.
>>49280600

I was really hoping they would release at least 1 more album ):
Darkside (2013-2014)
Zero fucks given, I love this album
>>49289856
10/10
Not a single mediocre song. Not even kidding.
>>49275549
this or fetch-melt banna
>>49289900
Right? I didn't really like 400 Lux for a long time, but I went for a walk late and night and put on this album and something clicked, now I love it. I wouldn't give it a 10/10, Royals and A World Alone aren't amazing but they're still better than mediocre.
>>49275575
This was my second favourite.
My third, fourth and fifth were Blood Donation, General Dome, and Lanterns, respectively.
Didn't listen to a lot
1. Run The Jewels - s/t
2.Pillowfight - s/t
3.Primal Scream - More Light
4. Neko case - TWTGTHIFTHIFTMILU
4. Franz Ferdinand - RTRWRA
>>49289980
I love A World Alone, I'm with you on Royals tho. But I enjoyed the shit out of that album, only reason it's a 10/10 for me.
>>49286201
I do! I believe I'm under the same name - Kaimetsu14
Always thought he was too corny for me to even fuck with..but this album was incredibly enjoyable for me. Huge surprise.
