ITT: tragically underrated records of 2015
go
>>61197002
Vietcong got a fair amount of praise from most people this year.
>>61197002
yeah fucking right
although near the end they have been getting shut out but I think rightly so since side 2 is so much stronger than side 1
now this is underrated
https://palmnewyork.bandcamp.com/album/trading-basics
however it is still kinda new especially compared to viet cong one of the years earliest releases and probably the very first release of the year to get general praise
The first impulse to violence is probably right
>>61197198
fuck off
>>61197012
i'm seeing more recognition of this on /mu/ lately. i didn't like it at first either because, basically, it wasn't what i expected. but relistening to it months later i can fully appreciate how tight it is.
>>61197002
Low - Ones & Sixes
>>61197318
where about does it land for you on an aoty list if you have one?
I think I heard the first song when it came out
>>61197318
fucking this
>>61197191
Awwww shit
I loved Ostrich Vacation, how does this compare?
One of the most overrated punk records of the year
>>61198175
Couldn't agree more.
>>61197012
Listening to this right now, why do people dislike it again? It's fucking fantastic.
Also, pic related.
> le Britpop with random & repetitive distorted noises
Literally the worst praised album of the year
>>61198138
no idea I just got introduced to them by someone on here two nights ago.
>>61198354
could you enable captions because i have no idea what most of these are
>>61198206
I dont know but I did not take at all to either of these albums.
>>61198378
yeah, should have thought about that, this should help for most
>>61198405
cool I randomly bought Hairless Toys recently but havent listened to it yet.
>>61198423
Its nice, not her best but definitely worth a spin or 3.
Alex g- beach music
Mount eerie- sauna
Ghostface killah & BBNG- silver soul
I thought BM and Sauna were both some of the best albums from the artists' respective discographies
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - A Year With 13 Moons
>>61198466
>Alex g- beach music
any reasons in particular? I only heard it once when it came out but I found it endearingly derivative?
>>61198495
any particular reasons?
this
comfy aoty
i dont get how nobody on /mu/ even listened to this album, it was amazing and definitely AOTY
>>61197002
>>61197198
>>61198536
we were on the same imageboard right? also miley cyrus was fucking memed to death by viral marketers, never forget
I liked these
and that vaporwave album by 2 8 1 4
>>61198132
v great v unknown
>>61198386
Assunder was more meant to be one big track honestly, it has no business being split up into 4 smaller tracks, given that as a Godspeed Track it's basically one long song.
>>61198536
Tjis is better than tpab desu
sodope
Actually
>>61200182
strangely true
Opinions on it are mostly positive, but I still see Viet Cong, Protomartyr, Iceage, Ought and so on mentioned way ahead of them in recent post-punk, despite Algiers being way more interesting/original.
Liturgy - The Ark Work
Idk if this is underrated or just polarizing, everyone either seems to hate it with a burning passion or love it, I love it
>>61199544
the whole record at once was a bit much for me but she knows what she's doing. super talented. that duran duran bridge is the comfy moment of the year.
>>61200398
what are you talking about underrated, any album on fantano's top 50 (which it will be) is not underrated. I guarantee you its received the same amount of hype as the rest. Even check the Metacritic scores for algiers compared to other post-punk records.
>>61200551
I thought this was predictable and boring af
>>61200024
Literally on pitchfork's end of year top 50
>>61200182
On GP and Turned Off are easily some of the best songs I've heard all year.
>>61200182
Well meme'd
>>61200024
>>61200182
I think you misunderstand the meaning of "underrated"
>>61200182
nah
>>61200182
>>61198536
THESE
>>61197002
They got a lot of attention this year, even though I'd rather just listen to This Heat or either Women album.
>>61197012
agreed
>>61199544
Absolutely. Saw her live, very good vocalist and guitar player.
>>61200024
overrated
>>61200030
yes
>>61200788
is this that no joy record? this album sucks my friend keeps playing it and it literally sounds like every other boring shoegaze revival act. nothing interesting about it at all
>>61200937
yeah i jammed it for a while and realized how forgettable it was
>>61200552
Metacritic scores are positive, but for example it had half as many ratings as Viet Cong and a lower score than both Protomartyr and Ought's albums.
For all the /noise/ fans
>>61201004
My friend bumps this shit all the time, I dont get the hype with Jeff
This seemed to go under the radar a lot, I thought it was a great record.

>>61201035
if you weren't into his btmi stuff you probably wont get into his solo stuff
Seriously good album.
Very fuzzy, comfy, and has some good solos too.
They have a bandcamp, Petal Head.
>>61199544
can someone tell me what album this is? my google images is being autistic and won't let me search anything
>>61201310
Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again

>>61200927
I strongly agree
>>61197318
This absolutely
Nobody talked about this album at all
I liked it
>>61201485
Name? I've seen it posted around here before.
>>61202119
i believe it's elvis depressedly
>>61198495
Underrated and overlooked are two different things. Everyone who listened to this loved it.
>>61200551
damn that valley sounds like a song that could be a really big hit
>>61199580
Agreed. But, /mu/ has definitely talked about this before.
>>61197318
>>61198206
Good album

>>61198515
ghos is that you?
It's a grower, but damn is it catchy.
>>61200927
Yup
>>61200890
>either Women album
Public Strain I can understand, but s/t is easily the weakest of any of the albums in question.
Not that I mind. That way I was able to snag that there limited edition vinyl
>>61197002
No
>>61197012
Yes
>>61197198
>implying you can underrate shit
>>61197318
Yes
>>61198132
Yes
>>61198495
Yes, was my aoty for a while
>>61198536
No
>>61199544
No
>>61199830
Stop
>>61200024
No, it was actually pretty boring. Kaputt is so much better.
>>61200030
Still gotta listen to this.
>>61200182
No
>>61200398
Couldn't get into this album myself, don't understand the hype around it.
>>61200788
Yes
>>61201004
No
>>61201485
Liked it until I saw them perform live.
Sucks because they make great music but the lead singer is such a douche.
>>61203500
Yes
>>61203610
Should relisten to this.
>>61203780
public strain > viet cong > women s/t
>>61203965
correct
>>61200927
yeah and women fronting rock bands is such a big 2015 meme im surprised this wasnt mentioned anywhere
>>61203940
>Still gotta listen to this.
Do it, it's a really fun album.
>>61203982
it's a shame they broke up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zavndb-By8s
>>61204025
Probably their weakest one since Democracy
The Ocean is a top 50 SOTY candidate. Whole record is pretty good, thought it would get talked about more.
>>61204072
Their strongest since Hosanna tbqh
I forgot about this album until yesterday and upon listening to it again just realised how great it is.
>>61200158
yeah
