How's it been so far?
weak

What?
>>66215661
How has 2016 been so far mr.trip
>>66215645
Awesome.
AMSP, Glowing Man, incoming Pixies and Slowdive.
Call me a pleb but AMSP filled the gap Radiohead's discography had and TGM is a perfect final Swans album.
terrible, worst year for music in 2010s
>>66215803
DESU, Glowing Man was a fantastic end but the trilogy as a whole would've been better if it were ordered TGM, Seer then TBK.
>>66215855
it was lazy and pretty disappointing, like most of stuff from this year
>>66215906
I think there's been a lot of fantastic material released this year, this could go down as the best year in the decade IMO. Of course your opinion is just as valid and I respect it! :)
>>66215855
Since the first listen I thought of TGM being like the post-apocalypse of TBK. Some moments are so familiar to TBK songs that it feels like a flashback.
>>66215953
please enlighten me then
it's been great. honestly so much fucking music is released every year that if someone says a year has been bad for music I assume that they just don't try very hard to find it or only follow the mainstream indie press.
>>66215855
Oh I also forgot Andy Stott, great electronic album.
>>66215970
Not him, but it's been great for metal. Vektor's new album is legitimately a modern classic on maybe the level of MDTF for metal.
>>66215971
>nly follow the mainstream indie press.
what do you take me for plen
pic related my current aoty
>>66215991
I still haven't checked Vektor yet but I will
>>66215645
Year of the /mu/-core
So it's been fantastic
>>66215645
David Bowie
Keith Emerson
Prince
Other than that, it's been okay.
>>66215695
I think the memes have been better than the music.
2016 was better, Bowie is the only thing I care for so far this year.

>metal
I've tried for years, anything with that genre makes me cringe. Never got to listen a black thrash technical melodic atmospheric depressive death suicide cock hair metal completely. Maybe it's the whole cliche-filled aesthetic that turns me off.
I don't understand how someone older than 16 years can listen to anything metal.
>>66216074
>2016 was better
What did he mean by this
>>66216014
discogs. follow labels and specialized blogs. avoid the official 2016 rym chart, but users charts can be helpful.
>>66216090
dude I know to find my shit, trouble is most of new stuff is pretty weak so I stick to older music
>>66216114
well, i don't know how to help you then cause this year's been fantastic for me. i suppose it depends on what genres you listen to.
Started off real weak, save for Black Star. But there have been a few really great releases in the last couple months. Seems they are trying to rescue the year from being the worst of the decade so far.
>>66216137
well post your aotys

>I don't understand how someone older than 16 years can listen to anything metal.
Because fun things are fun.
Pretty good for me
>>66216182
also here senpai, here's some intellectually superior metal for your intellectually superior taste.

from this year too
elseq1-5 and The Glowing Man are enough to make it a strong contender for a fantastic year, but we also got:
AMSP
Terminal Redux
Nonagon Infinity
Blackstar
Untitled Unmastered
Among others which also make it great.

2016 has actually been much better than 2015 desu. I have no idea why people are saying this year is terrible.
Weezer released their best album since the blue one a few months ago. It's actually alright.

>>66216394
depends, for exemple even if some good stuff has already been released, as of now 2015 was better when it comes to funk. but several releases that I suppose will be great have been announced so idk let's wait and see
This year sucks for rap compared to 2015.
My every year since 2008:
>January: "hey, WXYZ are releasing new stuff this year!"
>February: Discover my favourite album from last year
>March: W and X are disappointing
>April: Something unexpected from this year is really good
>May: Finally finish last year's new music, meanwhile Y is pretty good
>June: Z is really bad, the pile of new stuff to check is getting too big, be disappointed in this year, but "hey, ABC are releasing new stuff later this year"
>Halfway through the year be at 300-400 new releases and no idea why to go on like this if it yields no results, meanwhile last year seems way better
>Summer: Need more sunny music, only get gloomy but good things
>September: A is shit, but B turns out to be pure gold
>October: No longer in control of new music, storm of new Important Things to check disrupts the piling queue of older things
>November: Start catching up with end-of-the-year lists, most of which amount to nothing new and surprising
>December: Be late to realise that C was also good, have a huge queue of music with no end on the horizon and any sense of purpose to this mechanised fulfilling of "I need to hear everything" addiction
This is torture.
