I guess Turnstile should take Geese's spot. The demand is there

Addison vs choke enough vs DTMF vs Ego Death vs Eusexua vs NEVER ENOUGH

Thoughts? Concerns? Why?

This makes sense.

What's with everyone rate having six albums now, though? Why isn't five good enough anymore?

The more the merrier. Who would you boot from the lineup?

I have some suggestions

More just an observation that all the album rates seem to have six now, for some reason. It's trendy!

But if I had to kick out one, maybe Oklou? Considering both acclaim and buzz.

Funny that Geese didn't make the This Was 2025 lineup when it's topping AOTY right now.

Addison and Oklou albums combined are barely scraping past the 1-hour mark so it's kind of like only having 5 albums in a way

I hope somebody will do a Katy rate inshallah. I would do it but I already know I'd suck at hosting it

I see what you mean in that Oklou might have had less initial hype and buzz, but it's kind of been a sleeper hit in terms of critical acclaim (and industry acclaim). Plus it's more atrl-friendly than a lot of the other options.

Also I listened to NEVER ENOUGH earlier and I think it might be best to keep Geese in the lineup. Sorry Turnstile hive but I can't ignore the acclaim that Getting Killed has received and ever rate needs a Shania.

Speaking of observations: Geese, "Birds," "Blade Bird," FKA Twigs... Big year for avian enthusiasts

We'll be boycotting

Based on the one song I've heard from each now (Birds and Taxes) I fear both would be panned by conniefork so please keep Oklou

Me boycotting Hayley, California boycotting Geese, connie boycotting Addison...

Guess we'll just have to scrap the whole thing and do the Tinashe rate instead.

What happened to listening to an album in its entirety

I think thinking that Turnstile got those big Grammy nominations, though

There's nothing wrong with a little taster just to see what the vibe is

Now that the year end lists are coming out and we have a sense some of the most acclaimed albums of the year, which of these would people like to see/not see in TW2025?

Geese - Getting Killed

Oklou - choke enough

Wednesday - Bleeds

Hayley Williams - Ego Death...

FKA twigs - EUSEXUA

CMAT - EURO-COUNTRY

Blood Orange - Essex Honey

Bad Bunny - DTMF

Addison Rae - Addison

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out

And nothing for Bon Iver.

Yes Addison yes ratings

What's the lore beind you being an OHWH though? She's so harmless

It looks like nobody will be satisfied. Maybe if I was allowed to include LUX...

Paramore is bad, but maybe she's better solo? Don't know, haven't cared to check.

Would probably still happily sit through Turnstile, Geese, Addison, AND Eusexua if it meant not having to relisten to and try and discern between rate the songs on that nothingburger Blood Orange album

How about including CMAT instead of Duck TV

Reminder this is ATRL not Pitchfork. I hate a lot of members but I would never torture them like this

Paramore s/t is an Eeveecore classic but I respect your opinion. I would say Ego Death has Paramore-like moments but it's kind of its own thing.

I didn't even listen to Essex Henny, but as an OBOH I support you.

CMAT is being saved for the International Carly Rae Jepsens rate.
