haven't heard any of those, do you think I'd like any of them?

Third Law is like Arca but less eventful and darker
TLOP isn't consistent in the slightest, but there are some real fun/interesting picks on there.
How to dance is country
Varmints is vaguely minimal experimental electronic music that makes sudden dips into pop, sorta like holly herndon does on her newest album.

A slow year so far but a lot of highly anticipated stuff on the way that I'm excited for.
Also have high hopes for the upcoming Kayo Dot record...
>>64182705
Speaking of grindcore or powerviolence, new Nails album is coming out this year. You excited? I know I am
i think only one of these is an album but o well there havent been many good albums this year
Also the Skin Crime retrospective but that's not technically new
so far been a good year, I like it. Trembling Air is my AOTY, the Pleasure Model album caught me by surprise, and I'm looking forward to the Torn Hawk release on Editions Mego.
>>64182614
gonna give sound of ceres album a third listen today
>>64182732
Yeah, I've been listening to their previous albums religiously the past couple of days
Fuck, I'd forgotten how good Unsilent Death is. Everyone blows it off as a "trendy" poser album but no way, the hatred sounds way too authentic for that
New song is great too
>>64182758
Hmm I don't really know if I like it all that much, I loved their stuff as Candy Claws but I think that SoC is just a 6/10
I might replace it with the new Cult of Luna album on my AOTY chart no idea
It's pretty though, I'll have to give it that
>>64182744
I did much enjoy traditional synth. The breakcore influence on dotty techno was a brilliant collision. I just wish he had been more ambitious about it
>>64182758
I should give Trembling Air a listen. Props for the Body, that's a very interesting project. I've heard it 3 times and still haven't reached a conclusion on what to rate it.
I couldn't fucking stand BBF but I can respect what you saw in it. Some of the production is fantastic. The lyrics were just complete bullshit for a lot of it and the vocal inflection was unbearably flat. And of course This makes me proud to be British made me want to stab myself in the head repeatedly
>>64182734
I really like New Christmas Classics. Good to see it getting posted.
>>64182784
Ya people on here in a genre that's not very popular tend to shoot down anything that gets slightly popular regardless of quality. Both are great projects tho. I too prefer Unsilent Death. The guitar riffs on that are just pure volatile anger, it's great
>>64182875
its pretty great i dont know why everyone jerks off over Sea When Absent and completely ignores NCC
>>64182902
I don't know I liked NCC and Planning Weed but Sea When Absent is one of my absolute favourite pop albums of all time, it's so happy and full of energy
I don't think they'll ever make an album that sprawling again
>>64183027
can you give the names and artists of these albums?
>>64182698
>>64182714
Why do you rate albums that way?
>>64183043
I initially did a .5 to 1 to 1.5 so on scale, but I found that it wasn't nearly definitive enough, and I'd have like 40 albums with the same score that I clearly had formed a strong preference of some over others.
I view it as a likert scale, where a project better than a 7 but worse than a 7.5 say is ranked according to how strongly I liked it within that space from 1-5, or in this case .1-.5. I know it seems overly complicated but it's actually far better for me than the headache of giving two albums the same score when they're so widely different in quality
>>64183036
$$$tag$$$ - crowd surfing
body san- shining the money ball
bwana - capsule's pride
cocaine jesus - we're worried about you
diamondstein - the ridges
Född Död – oн нe мoжeт любить тeбя бoльшe
immune - breathless
perfume advert - foreverware
secret boyfriend - memory care unit
>>64182758
neat neat neat chart i'll have to grab the five or so i don't know because i love all the rest (well minus diiv)
>>64182698
How the hell do you listen to so many albums
>>64183395
We're over four months into the year, that's not really a ton of albums.
>>64183378
>minus DIIV
kek agreed
>>64183395
I'm a student so I listen to music while I study a good bit(only less distracting albums like ambient/simple rock like Weezer that I don't have to think about), but it's pretty much my main activity when I get free time. I'm also walking around campus a lot which makes it easy to listen to albums while I walk
My top 3
Renato P - Untitled
Mown - Coeur Du Triangle
Skee Mask - Shred
Human Performance
Varmints
Vroom Vroom EP
kind of a shit few months
>>64183490
That too, I've kinda been slacking this year compared to 2015. It's also been a little less fruitful though. Last year was insane
why is there never any love for Pillar Point's new album? shit is so fucking good
Pillar Point - Marble Mouth
>synth pop, produced by guys from Of Montreal, sounds like a crossbreed of LCD Soundsystem, Of Montreal, with a touch of Low era David Bowie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_2WAm012QA
>>64182714
>(3.7)Boris With Merzbow- Gensho
S H I T
T A S T E
C O N F I R M E D
>no The Drones
Best album of the year desu senpaitachi.
>>64183864
3.7 might be a bit low but overall it was pretty dissapointing
What's the cutest album of the year so far?
Flowers and Lightning in a Twilight Hour are the only cute albums I've really liked so far.
>>64183969
https://florist.bandcamp.com/album/the-birds-outside-sang this is pretty cute, and generally really good imo
>>64183864
boris' side was the best set of songs they've done in a while, and merzbow's was some of his coolest, most progressive stuff since merzbient.
the gimmick of playing them together is horseshit tho
>>64184151
Oh, this seems like it might be pretty cute. I'll have to give it a listen.
Bandcamp also reminded me that I've yet to listen to that new Frankie Cosmos.
david bowie - blackstar
pinkshinyultrablast - grandfeathered
deakin - sleep cycle
lil yachty - lil boat (sorry)
aluk todolo - voix
sturgill simpson - a sailor's guide to earth
these were ones that particularly stood out to me so far, i have yet to listen to a lot of 2016 music yet though. swans will probably take number one because i'm a dirty swans superfan
I was intending to listen to as many albums as I can but I started to be quite tired with this. idk rec me something, please
>>64184410
I still haven't found time to listen to that David Thomas Broughton album but I'm glad that I haven't seen anything negative about it so far.
Also, have you ever listened to any Jeremiah Cymerman? I think you might be into him at least a tiny bit. Both of his albums this year, Bloodmist and Badlands, are pretty neat. Especially Badlands.
P.S.
cute And Also the Trees.
>>64184564
No, I haven't. Thanks for the rec
Other than Bowie, I've really enjoyed the new Matt Elliott, Sturgill Simpson, Damien Jurado and weirdly Ray Lamontagne's new album
Blackstar and the Drones - Feelin Kinda Free are my favorites so far. Really need to listen to more albums but right now I'm catching up on the Coachella performances I missed and rewatching the ones I liked.
>>64183226
i fucking love that cocaine jesus album
1.Blackstar
2.Xiu Xiu plays Twin Peaks
3.Sleep Cycle
4.Feelin kinda Free
wew, Topsters is finally working again
>>64184222
The Boris side is basically a compilation m8 it's all previously released material.
>>64186381
Love that Tortoise album. Should have put it on mine but kinda spaced it.
>>64182758
Really need to listen to the new PinkShinyUltraBlast
>>64182744
Got some good stuff on here m8
