don't give a poop about any albums released this year, just really want a new iceage record.

Nope, friendo. Despite your blind hatred for Grimes that's fueled by all the shitposters and waifufags, Art Angels is fantastic.

What a shitty meme-opinion to have. Did you even listen to it?
Causa Sui are one the the more well known bands in the scene, if that type of thing even matters to you.
>>65294906
Even most of the mediocre 2016 P4K BNM's are better than Art Angels m8.
>>65295195
I listened to a couple minutes of it. I will listen to it. Calm down. I just don't see how this is going to drastically change the shittiness of this year so far. There doesn't seem to be anything boundary-pushing or genre-defining here.
>>65295279
>the shittiness of this year so far.
so far all I'm gathering is that yes this year seems to be a little slow for synth pop so far but there's still some good stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP24Fp_aJbM
>>65295340
I don't just listen to synthpop.
This is all that I've found great so far this year. Everything else has been fairly disappointing. I'm listening to Malibu for the first time now and I'm going to listen to AMSP later.
>>65294850
You're right, except for Post Pop Depression desu
>>65295514
The Astonishing is a very similar album structure to Fleshgod Apocalypse
1. dream theater - astonishing
2. anderson paak - malibu
3. venomous concept - kick me
4. anchoress - romance novelist
5. daughter - not to disappear
6. chtheilist - dernier crepuscule
7. brothers osbourne - pawn shop
8. killswitch engage - incarnate
9. daz and snoop - cuzznz
10. magrudergrind - two
11. sia - this is acting
12. half japanese - perfect
>>65295340
Dalek, Tim Hecker, Fall of Troy, Katatonia, Animal Collective. All artists I'd look for expecting top-tier material. Found them all quite disappointing this time around.
Deftones, Weezer, Obscura, Aesop Rock, Kvelertak, and Kendrick were all "good" at best.
>>65295249
Art angels wasn't too bad. It was varied in content and had some great production on it too.
It's been pretty good to me.
Fog - For Good
Astronautalis - Cut the Body Loose
Beautumn - Bordeaux
Drape - Forage
O'Brother - Endless Light
Saroos - Tardis
Western Skies Motel - Settlers
William Ryan Fritch - New Words For Old Wounds
Yoni & Geti - Testarossa

Legitimately feel sorry for anyone who thinks this year is slow or terrible for new releases. Maybe stop listening to the garbage p4k, Fantano, and /mu/ shovels down your throat and establish some tastes of your own?
>>65295744
>2015, dude
no, and the cd actually just came out a couple months ago. I have the release date as January 15
>>65295649
>I only listen to extremely underground releases on Bandcamp
>>65295811
Not only. I was a fan of all of them before this years release except Beautumn and WSM.
The new Explosion in the Sky was weak, Radiohead was acoustic TKOL with 2 great songs, AnCo was a tiring listen, Deakin put me to sleep, DG was exactly what I expected (which isn't to say I didn't like it), the Massive Attack EP was pretty good, Odd Nosdam was a total letdown as was Nevermen, and I'll be looking forward to Tobacco.
But what's the point in trying to namedrop good albums everyone's already heard? I'm trying to expose a curious person to something they probably haven't heard this year.
>>65294850
/mu/core releases
I think it's been pretty good. It's funny that people keep say listen to stuff besides /mu/core or the stuff more commonly mentioned this year but as soon as I find something I want to listen to it's nowhere to be found on the internet.
>>65295656
>Causa Sui
>generic psych rock
Are you fucking serious?
>>65295915
patton also has another one that came out since then and it kinda sucks too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria_Cult
>>65295915
>I'll be looking forward to Tobacco
WAIT WHAT
>>65296004
I liked it better than Nevermen, it's goo background music. Kind of makes me think of Westerns. Not as good as Romances by a long shot.
>>65294906
Bruh I'm a p. big Grimes fan and even I thought Art Angels was lacking. I hated it at first but it's grown, but there was a lot better last year
>>65296036
Sweatbox Dynasty. 8/19. Get your dick wet.

>>65296041
>it's goo background music.
yeah its definitely about criteria. I'm pretty hard on soundtrack-core
>>65296069
OHOHOHOHO BABY
>>65296081
I'm drawn to it so infrequently that I let it slide when it crops up.
The Life of Pablo saved this year, no matter what
I'm pumped for the re-release of Pink by Boris, with the entire new album's worth of unreleased songs recorded around the same time as Pink.
>>65294850
it hasn't. i bet you said the same thing last year, too, didn't ya?
>>65295974
Yes.
>>65296119
No, last year was amazing.
>>65296305
this year has been pretty good too desu, you either gotta dig deeper or just give it some time to sink in
>>65294850
coz you refused to get in the EDM/KPOP train faggot
your meme genres are like a bag of dicks get on this century instead of grandpaing around with all that old shit nobody cares about. you went through all the hipster shit now try the real shit
>>65296347
damn...
>>65296347
Nice shitpost
>>65295514
and how exactly is King Gizzard and the Lizard Gizzard Wizard Lizard NOT one of those

??
>>65296347
gimme some recs then bro let's go
>>65296388
Touche, but they executed it so damn well.
>>65296388
They may be a stoner/psychrock band, but Nonagon Infinity has a pretty unique sound.
>>65295649
>Fog - For Good
starting now
kinda good so far
when does it get great?
>>65294850
"Honeymoon" was nice.
>>65295514
>only listens to popular albums
>gee guys why haven't i found so much amazing stuff?
go to 2016 charts
go to like page 8
listen to something that looks good
there you're discovering music, it's not hard
>>65297803
here, I'll even spoonfeed you something I just found whose genre's and cover looked cool
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sula_bassana/shipwrecked/
listen to this
then just keep listening to other stuff that looks cool
suddenly the year looks a lot better
>>65297423
If you're referring to the newest Lana Del Rey album that was 2015 but it is extremely 2016 relevant
It apparently contains numerous coded messages indicating she knew that both Bowie and Frey were going to die soon.
Tortoise apparently knew as well indicated by their inclusion of Hot Coffee re-released on their album early this year. It seemingly contains an interpolation of Fame
my hopes are high for RHCP's new album. the taster sounds good.
>>65297831
>It apparently contains numerous coded messages indicating she knew that both Bowie and Frey were going to die soon.
Dude, you are so far from >>>/x/ right now
Get on back there.
>>65297982
Its true. When it came out in September I always just spammed the Bowie shit in Honeymoon threads because it just seemed so completely odd already.
I didn't even come up with the Frey shit. Someone else here pointed that out to me.
>>65298056
>Its true
Wew
>>65298080
The whole song is about him dying.
Just the album cover alone is loaded with codes about both of them.
>>65294906
>Art Angels
How? 2015 was great and you picked that?
>No, I don't use Tumblr.
You might as well make one, you have tumblr-tier shit taste.
>>65295649
yesss astronautalis
we've got some p. good stuff. astronautalis, tricky, the coathangers, bowie, and ofc lemonade
>>65294850
I don't know about other genres but it has been a pretty good year for metal so far.
>>65298121
>the coathangers,
historically significant squeaky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6eoChvYmTk
I've heard songs with squeaky toys in the intro and stuff but this is the only song I've ever heard with it actually incorporated.
>>65298097
Have you read the lyrics? I don't think you have.
>>65298134
I want this year's perdition temple though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MbDx3L-n90
2016 is going to be the best year for music for me since 2011 desu.

It's time to celebrate OP. you're finally growing up.
Once you turn into a mature man/woman, Music does not appeal to you like it used to.
>>65298152
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed, baby, when I hear your tunes
I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me
But I'm putting all the lights on in the television
Trying to transmit, can you hear me?
Ground control to Major Tom
Can you hear me all night long?
Ground control to Major Tom
>>65298166
>you outgrow music
here is your (You)
>>65298170
Lana said it’s her favorite song on the album,
another coincidence
>>65298170
Please seek help
>>65298174
new music doesn't no. You generally don't have time to scour through waves of shite to find something you may like. You're comfortable with your big library that you have accumulated over the years.
>>65298188
I start sessions next week actually
doesn't mean I'm wrong though
personally, 2016 is somehow a lot more enjoyable for me than 2015
here's some stuff you might be interested in, idk
>>65298191
False.
I'm 23 and still collecting, only really started collecting a couple years ago. Your library can always be bigger.
>>65298201
>PJ Harvey
>3.5/5
wow
what did you rate lower than this?
>>65298204
You're neet or a student, or maybe you're just immature for your age. who knows, it's a general rule there is always the exception
>>65298220
As usual, you are wrong again. Sorry, but a lot of people get a thrill out of finding "new" music. You are in the minority.
>>65298214
I dunno, I was pretty surprised I enjoyed her album more than I expected
uhhhhh quite a lot desu
james blake was kind of a let down to me this year :^(
Music hasnt be good for years. Everything critically acclaimed these days is shit.
>>65298234
believe what you want.
It's just what i've seen from personal experiences how a lot of people who were once lovers of 'new' music and searching for great artists simply don't have time to do so anymore, or the appeal has been lost.
>>65298201
All of these are derivative 3/5. Jesus Fuck why is music so average
>>65298258
Not having the time for something isn't a valid excuse. If you really enjoy doing something you will make time for it. I feel sorry for you and >>65298255 for being so jaded
>>65298269
>Jesus Fuck why is music so average
wtf thats just one persons list
>>65298278
Not having the time for something because you realise how much time you've wasted in your youth listening through waves and waves of crap just so you can give your critique on a shite website is a perfectly valid excuse.
>hey guys look at my reviews.
>>65298269
i think u just burned out anon
take a break or listen to your old favourites

If somebody enjoys rating music then it isn't a waste of time for them.
>>65298294
>dream theatre
haha.
It sounds like something i've heard thousands of times before. ye, i really should start searching again.
Although i do feel free and released from the shackels of oppression because of the enlightening, heartfelt 'lyrics'
>>65294850
Because The Glowing Man hasn't come out yet.
>>65298337
>It sounds like something i've heard thousands of times before.

one of the more innovative releases I've heard this year but its not ranking for me because its only an ep and only 75% good at that
WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME
TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS

>>65294850
It hasn't, you're not looking hard enough.
