(Yes I do realize that my AOTY and SOTY are the same as Pitchforks. I swear that had nothing to do with it. I made this list before pitchfork released theirs.)
Overall I thought this year was pretty bland.

>Overall I thought this year was pretty bland.
Because you barely listen to anything outside hyped stuff
>>52172890
>give me attention, comment on my taste, validate me
>>52172908
I listened to plenty of other stuff, I just didn't like it.
I listened to The Twilight Sad, Vince Staples, George Ezra, TV on the Radio, Death Blues, Weezer, Aphex Twin, FKA Twigs, Aphex Twin, and the Freddie Gibbs and Madlib album and didn't like any of them that much
>>52172980
That was all stuff that was hyped and received a lot of attention. Have you tried not going to p4k for your music?
>>52172994
I don't go on pitchfork that much. I like spins reviews a lot better. I go on Rate Your Music and Album of the Year a lot. and George Ezra, Death Blues, and The Twilight Sad received no attentions from pitchfork.
Pretty bad, to be honest
I mean, I'm usually nice to people like you. But by any and all standards, that's a pretty bad list.
>>52172890
Awful.
CLPPNG, DFA1979, St. Vincent are all 1/10 albums and Run the Jewels is also really bad

6. clipping. - CLPPNG
7. Run the Jewels - RTJ 2
8. Shabazz Palaces - Lese Majesty
9. Arca - Xen
10. Jessie Ware - Tough Love
5 Honorable Mentions:
Cashmere Cat - Wedding Bells EP (probably would've been in top ten but its an EP and only four songs so I don't think it qualifies)
FKA Twigs - LP 1
Katy B - Little Red
Little Dragon - Nabuma Rubberband

judge me

>i really don't get this one. it's sufficiently weird but it's just boring.
I find it enthralling. Its darkness and drama remind me of a sort of Doom Metal Opera. It feels so significant.
>tfw you've listened to way too many albums this year but your top 10 still resembles a reorganized p4k list
Didn't like anything this year really. All the music released this year was gay.
