Now that it's already December, can we admit that 2015 was a pretty bad year for music?

pic related: one of the few good albums released this year

In Colour is the perfect example of generic pitchfork garbage.

have you even listened to electronic music outside of pitchfork from this year?
>>
not even Jamie XX's best debut album
>>
>>60756014
>the more buzzwords I use, the cooler people will think I am
>>
>>60756072
you didn't answer my question
list 5 good albums of electronic music from this year.
after you do, I'll list mine.
>>
It's weird that p4k liked that album but disliked Caribou and Four Tet comparatively. I mean, just in terms of hype. It's not weird to not understand the hype over In Colour. I like it, it made my foot tap, it's warm and enveloping and consistent and lusciously produced, but at the end of the day it's still just an above average indietronica album.
>>
>>60755978
Fuck off back to p4k holy shit
That's not even that good.
It's OKAY but it's not that good compared to the hundreds of better albums released this year that you've not bothered to listen to because nobody fucking reviewed them. Seriously fuck off you people make me sick.
>>60756099
Machine Girl - Gemini
Arca - Mutant
Rabit - Communion
Lotic - Agitations
OPN - Garden of Delete

Acronym - June

Eskmo - Sol
Jam City - Dream a Garden

And i'm not going to answer your question because I have no interest comparing music tastes with "le true patrician" who's above music reviews.
>>
>>60756199
that's pitiful. I bet you haven't even listened to 5 albums.
grow up, kid.

No why don't you grow up and realize that not a single person cares about your "superior" opinions. Don't worry though, that might change when you graduate from high-school.

>Listened to like 2 albums released this year because I recently started actually exploring my favorite genres and been more focused on playing catch-up than listening to new releases

I just don't have time to listen to lots of music.

>can we admit that 2015 was a pretty bad year for music?
It wasn't, though. There has been more great music just this year than in the past few years. You just personally didn't like very much of it.

In Colour is a great album in my opinion. Good production, very enjoyable. There isn't much more to it, so I agree with you there.

Some other stuff I personally enjoyed this year (other than the most popular albums) that you might want to check out.

>Mutemath - Vitals
Really poppy even for Mutemath. Still a good album though. Highly catchy moments, good overall production.

>Ratatat - Magnifique
Had some filler but otherwise was a very enjoyable album. They didn't really try anything new or innovate too much on it, but that's not always a bad thing.

>Carpenter Brut - Trilogy
Very heavy synthwave/retrowave music. Carpenter Brut is the best in the genre in my opinion. While 2/3 of this album wasn't released this year, the album as a whole was, and it's worth a listen.

>Attlas - Siren EP
Dance music, not much more, but very well produced. Pretty much ear candy.

>Badbadnotgood/Ghostface Killah - Sour Soul
This was pretty highly anticipated but was quickly forgotten about, which is sad because I really enjoyed it. It was pretty much more of BBNG's album III but with Ghostface Killah and some other guests.

>Toro Y Moi - What For
Very different style for TYM, but it was a nice listen. I respect that he tried something different, and in my opinion, it worked pretty well.

>Squarepusher - Damogen Furies
Another squarepusher album, it's pretty cool but didn't innovate too much. Still worth a listen.

>Thundercat - The Beyond/Where The Giants Roam
Funky as fuck album/EP. Really shows off what Thundercat can do as a bassist. He's an okay singer, but we all know that's not what you listen to Thundercat for...

>Quelle Chris - Innocent Country
This guy is a rapper from Detroit. Some of the stuff on here is good, especially the first few tracks.

>>60757382

REEEEEEEEE FUCK OFF
liking Burial guarantees turbopleb
>>
>>60757949
there is a correlation between liking Burial and being turbopleb, but no implication. dude makes good music.
>>
>>60757911
Some good stuff, some pretty bad stuff on there
Also, Jaar's Nymphs series outshines Pomegranates
>>
>>60757949
nah mate
>>
>>60757988
Preferring his albums to his more recent EPs confirms pleb status
>>
>>60758025
s/t and Truant are his best releases

Rival Dealer was bad
>>
>>60757999
haven't listened to Nymphs, will check thx

>having an opinion differing from mine guarantees pleb
>>
>>60758072
Well, yes
I'm glad you agree, you must be a patrician
>>
>>60758025
I honestly think everything Burial has touched has been great except Hiders. Untrue will never stop being great no matter how many edgy teenagers want it to so they can feel superior
>>
>>60757165
wrong it's probably the best album in the pic
>>
>>60757911
Fucking impeccable list.
>>
>>60758186
Didn't say it wasn't great, but his later stuff is on another level entirely.
>>
>>60758624
Temple Sleeper and Rival Dealer are garbage tho and Street Halo was pretty underwhelming too.

Liking Burial is hive mind behaviour...?

projection probably

>>60757684
haha, i remember the 10 days people liked that album.
>>
>>60758865
Why is using the term projection wrong here such a meme?
>>
>>60758861
I literally said the same thing as him but swapped Jamie XX for Burial, they're both average af but one is hated on and the other is /mu/core but no one could explain why Burial is better, everyone just follows the herd.

If that's all you think was good from 2015, you either haven't listened to enough music or you're shitposting.
>>
>>60758899
Except no one sounds exactly like Burial, he certainly has his own style in terms of sonics, not even El-B or any other garage artist sounds exactly like him.

Jamie XX is super watered down and shallow dance music camouflaging itself as something authentic with regards to the underground UK dance scene. Literally rolled my eyes at the ragga samples. It's all very derivative.
