Oblivion getting Track of the Year was one of the most infuriating p4k experiences I've ever had
>>61065938
Do you mean track of the decade (so far)?
>>61065959
I meant 2012, but fucking hell that's 3 times worse. I had totally forgotten about that one.
>>61065748
Now Im onto
>>61065938
Oblivion is a fucking choon m8
>>61066002
nah midnight city getting track of the year in 2011 is worse than both of those
1.) D'Angelo - Black Messiah
2.) Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
3.) Jaime XX - In Colour
4.) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell
5.) Tame Impala - Currents
6.) Vince Staples - Summertime '06
7.) Deafheaven - New Bermuda
8.) Miguel - Lionheart
9.) Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete
10.) Kamasi Washington - The Epic
11.) Bjork - Vulnicura
12.) Dr. Dre - Compton
13.) Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think
14.) Panda Bear - Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper
15.) Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
16.) Young Thug - Barter 6
17.) Sleater-Kinney - No Cities to Love
18.) Jlin - Dark Energy
19.) Neon Indian - Vega Intl. Night School
20.) Joanna Newsom - Divers
21.) Arca - Mutant
22.) Future - DS2
23.) Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness
24.) FKA Twigs - M3LL155X
25.) Holly Herndon - Platform
debate me
>>61066043
Black Messiah is from 2014
>>61066043
That's a lot of Black Excellence.
>>61066035
Midnight City is at least a good song, Oblivion is fucking terrible
>>61066060
its eligible this year tho
>>61066043
I like 6 of those albums
what a shitty year for music
>>61066043
Tame Impala is going down to the 20's. remember this post.
>>61066043
>22.) Future - DS2
This pisses me off so bad. Future is fucking awful.
>>61066079
its auto in the top 10 with a 9.3 one of the 4 highest scores this year
>>61066075
why?
Beyonce's album didn't make it last year
>>61066035
I'm checking the list, and the only other one that made as big of a cultural wave back then was Holocene, but they gave Bon Iver the AOTY that year so I guess they went with that.
>>61066078
Which 6, I want to judge you
>>61066121
this. Beyonce had songs make 2014's SOTY list but she wasn't on the AOTY list
>>61066121
beyonce doesnt have the social commentary d'angelo does
plus they probably want to break their streak of having and indie rock album place one year and a rap album place the other year
>>61066043
Julia Holter should be higher. Like top 5.
Compton is a novelty album that everyone has already forgotten about.
Honestly, I don't see Kendrick getting anything other than 1. He's just so dickridden there will be outrage if he isn't at the very top.
Clarence Clarity sneak onto the aoty list despite not getting a review?
>>61066111
bigger albums have fallen harder. I don't think Currents has a lot of staying power.
you know that if they're bringing back old albums like they did with the fetty wap and d'angelo tracks, they're gonna put weird al as AOTY 2015. it's gonna happen. screenshot this.
>>61066186
im telling you, they want to be "edgy" and not put the album every other music site is
plus julia holter only got a 8.4
>>61066214
that doesnt matter, its at a high score, and its from a very popular group, its not going lower than 15
>>61066186
p4k were idiots and only gave HYIMW an 8.4, so it'd be lucky to even make the top 15
Compton was trash though and the score was clearly bought
>>61065613
oh lord please let ian and the metal guy (forgot his name) do this
please god
They totally dropped Sophie.
I thought it was supposed to be his year.
>>61066270
>the metal guy
Brandon Stosuy? He's a Deafheaven stan and I don't think he likes +@
That one Jeremy guy is a huge fan tho
when Father John Misty gets album of the year everybody quote this post
hey guys
what's the pitchfork url so i don't miss the aoty?

It's "Wildheart," not "Lionheart."

Vulnicura is trodding over well worn ground, plus I could cut like 1 or 2 songs from it no problem
>>61066575
why is cuck out of the word filter?
did mods do this just for tonight to stir the shitposting?
>>61066277
Only Sophie tracks that came out this year were mediocre.
2014 was absolute the year of pc music/sophie

is tonight memes or AOTY? the night for songs was much more active.
>>61066494
my choice
also props to the trips and quads in this thread
>>61066558
I think it's a more important work than Vulnicura. Bjork was mostly speaking about her heartbreak, which Kendrick was using the events of his life to delve into the entire black experience, lyrically and musically, especially when you consider the mixture of genres.
>>61066660
Well, fuck...
>>61066575

ah I'm not very familair with her. Vespertine?
>plus I could cut like 1 or 2 songs from it no problem
which would be? I'd probably cut family and quicksand

why does pitchfork continue to support tame impala if they're all (presumably) straight white men? i don't get it. their music isn't even good. have they taken any political stands? as far as i've seen they haven't.
>>61066494
>>61066727
Because Ian Cohen is their reviews editor and he dickrides them. Also they're commercially viable I presume.
>>61066494
i'll run around in the streets naked, dancing, and singing the praises to pitchfork if the cucklords get btfo
>>61066676
Do you agree that vulnicura was trodding over well worn ground?
>>61065553
kendrick is for sure top 5. the rest are the 11-20, and some bullshit no one listened to is the rest of the top 10.
>>61066691
Yah, that and Homogenic. Even a little bit of Post in there.
I actually really like Friends. Id probably take off Quicksand, or History of Touches
>>61066340
the saxophone?
Deafheaven AOTY when
>>61066729
nice one.
>>61066756
I think it sounds like Vespertine a bit, but certainly not. It's a new direction for her.
call me crazy but i think young thug will crack the top 10 just barely at 9 or 10
>>61066753
based ian keeping indie alive single handedly
he's too good for pitchfork
does their AOTY have to be one of the 9.3s?
or have they given AOTY to an album that was scored lower than other albums before?
>>61066828
Senpai Ian is killing them by overhyping atrocious garbage. Sun Kil Moon, for one.
Daily reminder that Kendrick was robbed
>>61066780
I ment Family
>>61066835
Yes MVOTC over Yeezus
>>61066835
>or have they given AOTY to an album that was scored lower than other albums before?
last year, swans and sun kil moon got 9.3s, and run the jewels got a 9.0, and they got AOTY
the year prior, vampire weekend got a 9.2 or 9.3 and won, while pic related got a 9.5
>>61066852
you have shit taste to be honest 家族
>>61066835
>>61066865
and silent shout with the 8.6 aoty
>>61066835
In 2008 they given AOTY to Fleet Foxes debut but the highest score that year was Deerhunter's Microcastle
>>61066835
The Knife got AOTY in 2006 for an album that got an 8.6, beating a ton of 9.0+s
Just last year RTJ got it for a 9.0 album and beat 2 9.2s
>>61066835
It doesn't have to be. In fact, I think most of the time their highest-rated album isn't given AOTY. It's been that way for the last two years. Vampire Weekend beat Yeezus' 9.5 in 13, and Run the Jewels beat Swans and Sun Kil Moon last year (both were agreeable, IMO).
Usually they judge by "relevance," which is how you get the last two examples. It has to apply to the zeitgeist. It's there where I think Kendrick has a chance at sweeping. Politically and musically, his album is totally representative of 2015, for better or worse. The rest aren't. Jaime probably has the best chance out of the three, as they can say something about electronic music, but the other two are
a. indie folk, and
b. 70s rock revival
They have no chance.
I CANT WAIT FOR YEAR IN MEMES

you're welcome
So while we wait, what's everyone's favorite film of 2015? Mine's probably Fury Road.
>>61065553
They gave Kendrick best song, Pimp will probably be second or third now.

Ex Machina
Taxi
>>61067503
Definitely the top 2, I hope so for Khaled. "Another one" happened a few months ago so he could make it. And "YOU SMORT" might have been this year.
Maybe "whip/nae nae" if they've decided to give up all cultural cachet.

Ex Machina was okay, I still need to see the other two.
>>61067527
Fun fact, I put this on the videos of the year list for my student paper. I said it was a "real meme" as opposed to Hotline Bling, in that the latter was created by a corporation with the express intent of going viral and the former is just fun.
>>61067579
I hope they have shittiest album of the year so Lil Dicky can win
>>61067512
I haven't seen it but I know my favourite movie is gonna be the new star wars.
