What is your current AOTY /mu? The year is little mote than halfway through and I need to catch up on what I've missed in releases. Post any number of your 2016 favorites in the text if you'd like.
dunno man, hate to say it but the radiohead AMSP is better release, glowing man is awesome but it's not like super a lot better than TBK. elseq is a bit of fun, handful of skippable tracks but I cant think of a single album like elseq.
no one talks about this one, but one of my favorite releases this year is jessy lanza "oh no"
Got me into watching Twin Peaks and damn that show is comfy
>>66041864

>>66041864
fuck! this dropped? g'damn, I gotta put this in muh brain ASAP
>>66041864
nigga what that came out like last week
chill f a m p a i
>>66041906
Holy shit man me too. Though I have to admit I've been listening to more of the original soundtrack than the Xiu. Season 2 really steps it up in the atmospheric stuff.
Probably gonna be my noise album of the decade

I liked Glowing Man because it feels closer to being a successor to The Seer than TBK did. Moon shaped poop is definitely great but it didn't blow me away like other people have been.

Needs an update but still some of my favorites
>>66042395
You picked all the best covers that's for sure. Danke senpai
>>66042064
fair. desu I only think I liked to be kind better than seer bc i heard tbk first, ... radiohead i have been tracking since i was a kid it kind hits me deeply when they put out another album...
>>66041829
Not even the best album of the year in that colour scheme
my personal AOTY

A DANCER FROM GHANA
(SMILING IN TIJUANA)
the only right answer
>>66041829
This of course
>>66044195
Go to bed, Noah.
>>66046028
What kind of music is this?
>>66046523
GET MIXED IN THIS CRIPPLING FIXTURE
For me it's this or AMSP
White was the "two steps back" for Rivers after the emotional maturity he bore on songs like "Foolish Father" on EWBAITE
Glowing Man lost the tightrope balance that TBK had struck, faltering and falling into overindulgent meandering and excessive dissonance.
As much as I like Pablo, in the order Kanye gave it to us it's incoherent and missing key components like "Fall Out of Heaven"
Bottomless Pit can't touch the avant masterpiece of Niggas on the Moon, and it's not even in the same league No Love or Money Store
Views isn't as good as nothing was the same
man this has been the year of lackluster follow-ups
Young Thug has really come into his own with SS3, though. I say this as someone that really dislikes Barter 6.
>>66046586
lo-fi indie, art pop, noise pop, emo, bedroom music made on a grand, ambitious scale
teen suicide rule tbqh
>>66043437
this was actually more boring that tgm
not aoty but pretty cool
>>66047020
> lackluster year

I haven't heard a single memorable thing from this year yet.
>>66047146

skepta desu senpai
>>66047297

>>66047858
armelle oberles voice is the best part of that album you pleb
Pic related, or maybe the new Sun Kil Moon/Jesu album.
pic related or Sound of Ceres - Nostalgia for Infinity
For me because I don't wanna decide one in no particular order
Glowing man by swans
Paining with by AnCo
Bottomless pit by death grips
Sleep cycle by deakin
Is the is are by diiv
Perfect by half Japanese
Three men and a baby by mike and the melvins
Honorable mention:
Tiny dots by la dispute (it was a soundtrack for their movie but it had a few unplugged renditions of their more popular songs)
And the astonishing by Dream theatre (I haven't given it a listen yet)
impossible kid
>>66048222
....
>>66041998
vomitself with merzbow might be one of the best songs to have ever been performed
>>66041906
that show makes me want coffee and pie like no other
not even close
>>66041902
i really wanna hear that new jessy lannza now, thanks senpai
It's still this.
>>66048139
I think that even knowing the album means I'm not a pleb dude. see how many replies have you got so far?
Hit Home - ...After the Fact
this one is so fucking good
https://hithome.bandcamp.com/album/after-the-fact

it was in jest man, but real talk i dont see whats wrong with her singing
>>66041829
>Pic related
>>66041957 and >>66049861 also make my list.
>>66047858
what album is that? i loved the cover
>>66041829
>>66041957
>>66047077
all acceptable AOTY choices
>>66044114
>>66047297
i really need to listen to both of these
>>66049861
really good album, not nearly as bad as some have been pretending it is. honestly better than LES tbqh famalam.
>>66044195
disappointment of the year. a big step-down from their last 3 albums.
>>66050027
good, but far from their best.
Surprised no one threw this up yet.
>>66050368
>>66050166
AMSP is my AOTY and i'll be shocked if anything dethrones it.
>>66050138
Mild High Club - skiptracing
it's a psychedelic pop mixed with jazz and electronics
>>66050368
6/10 at best
>>66047077
I find it hard to keep up with their output but dang this one is a good record
>>66050435
thanks for the response, sounds interesting, im going to hear it.
What's the happiest album of the year so far?
>>66048222
Why is an album you haven't heard in your honourable mentions?
>>66050560
that zimpel album is so bad idk why so many people think it's good.
>>66050560
Coloring Book
>>66050166
What's the best Drones album senpai?
>>66050621
either Wait Long by the River or Gala Mill.
>>66050590
I'm just a big Zimpel fanboy honestly.
I really wish he would just release another Hera album though.
This has been a surprisingly good year. I was a little worried at first that it wasn't going to be able to compete with 2015 but I've been proven quite wrong.
>>66050715
for me it is worse and worse gradually since 14
>>66050448
You're trying too hard to be edgy.
>>66050594
I agree
>>66047077
Fuck with this heavily. Saw em live twice in one night a couple of weeks ago. Would recommend
>>66050027
The drones are so underrated outside australia (and even in australia)
>>66050621
Not the anon you asked the question, but i reckon their debut doesn't get talked about enough: 'here come the lies.' Raw and punky
>>66050860
Ikr? Feelin' Kinda Free didn't even get a Pitchfork review.
>>66050751
how? it was painfully non original and too much self recycled
>>66050896
Yep, and neither did i see seaweed iirc
>>66047077
I just got back from seeing them and god damn it this sounds even better live its gotta be this for me
>>66047118
Album Name? I can't image search this.
>>66047020
>I am a twat who's barely listened to any music released this year
what did he mean by this
>>66050976
>Painfully non original and self recycled
Good to know you've only listened to Kid A
>>66051193
I've listened to all of them, new one is a huge letdown after limbs
>>66050976
They recycled nothing. AMSP sounds like none of their other albums, and i can admit that they've been guilty of doing that in the past. (OKC and HTTT, Kid A and Amnesiac).
AMSP is a flawless album. Literally. I can't think of a single complaint that i have with it. Maybe the fact that they already used "Sail to the Moon" for a song title on a different album because that would've been an even more perfect title for the album. That's exactly how it sounds and how it makes me feel. The entire thing is just so striking.
>>66051027
Albur! - 0.02
>>66041957
the only right answer
AOTYSF either Swans or the Geroeogorgeogroegogroegorgeogegigiogi
>>66047297
This by far
>>66050998
I see seaweed definitely did
>>66044195
>>66047118
I liked these and Sleep cycle too
And The Great Unwinding
>>66050166
>dissappointment of the year
fuck you this is the best summer album of the year i can see myself jamming with friends on the beach while On Delay plays on the background on a weekend
>>66050560
the Ytamo album on my chart is pretty happy :)
>>66052050
But this exists and is so much more instantaneous but has the lasting power of a now-and-later with out being a shit tier candy.
>>66044114
This by miles. I hate country music and this completely blew me away.
>>66046147
Hey crab man
>>66050448
Yeah agreed.
Sounds like a bunch of b-sides and unreleased material.
>>66047118
ayy at this shameless self-promotion
>>66041829
We are not halfway through this year yet
>>66041829
/r/ing dl link for The Glowing Man. The archive is down.
>>66051241
I don't think Hail to the Thief sounds that much like OKC. A lot more organic and guitar-rock sounding than that record, even when it uses electronics.
I listen to this at least once a day
Shilling for Skiptracing too
>>66053084
is this out yet? I thought it wasnt til august
>>66053519
It's leaked
