I always had a soft spot for her. Her previous EP was also Gr8. 26 minutes ago, Vilppu said: I liked Moses and Julie but top 70 is fair. Allie snatched me on first listen, was just alright on second and on third it did absolutely nothing for me It lost some charm as time went on, i'll agree. 35 minutes ago, Unoriginal said: I listened to CXII once and it was nice. I was going to go back to it but 38 minutes ago, Vxspertine said: Didn't like the Allie X album or the Nick Hakim album tbh. Idk both just didn't do anything for me Aromanticism I think with Nick it takes a couple of listens but understandable since it's not completely memorable.
World Eater Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Great picks for the album covers Mono No Aware and Take Me Apart are my favorites Mister Mellow was pretty uneventful imo Get Lost is still a bop You Only Live 2wice, Green Twins and Aromanticism
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Cute album covers But Take Me Apart is my fave by far comment on mine too
soml Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Perched for the albums chart I like the position for Allie X
TRF. Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Julie Byrne, Allie, Nick and Moses I still need to listen to Call Super tbh!
Wondervisions Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 The John album is really amazing! Neither Julie or Hackim's record did much for me but they are sure something. Also slumlord was my top 2015 song too, slay.

Sunderland 4ever Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 It's Mister Mellowwwww! Love Get Lost. I'm interested in checking Green Twins.
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) The War On Drugs getting love although not with my favorite album track. Thanks for the BO2017 playlist. Followed you. Edited December 31, 2017 by Sunderland 4ever

Playa Playa Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Moses & Freddie > I was so excited for Nick Hakim's album and then I completely paid it dust
Tom Vercetti Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Only have time for 5 albums today. Will continue on with the rest of the 60 albums in the new year.
Tom Vercetti Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 65. Porter Ricks - Anguilla Electrica (Dub Techno) Spoiler Porter Ricks made an commendable comeback album after his last album being from the late 90s. Would I say it's as immense and engaging as Biokentics? No. However, Anguilla has enough sounds going on to keep me occupied with only 6 tracks that each having their own slight variation of tempo and deep textures. Highlights: Shoal Beat, Prismatic Error, Port Of Tangency 64. Goldfrapp - Silver Eye (Electropop/Synthpop) Spoiler Admittingly, Silver Eye was only the 2nd album i've heard from them, aside from Seventh Tree and while the previous was more downtempo, this new one offers more upbeat and synth production. Solid throughout, though much stronger in the beginning as the middle ground weakens a bit, but picks up again near the end. Highlights: Anymore, Systemagic, Tigerman 63. Billy Woods - Known Unknowns (Underground Hip Hop) Spoiler As an underground artist who's seemly self reserved (although on the prolific side with his output), it's no wonder as to why this album got no buzz in the YE lists. Hip Hop producer Blockhead works as a main supporter for the record as his beats lay down a left-field yet melodic atmosphere. Unlike some of his past projects, there's noticeable choruses all around too. With 18 tracks, it may seem like a task to fully invest and inevitably there will be a few fillers but Woods does enough to bring me in his realm of harsh reality. Highlights: Keloid, Unstuck, Wonderful, Police Came to My Show, 62. Oxbow - Thin Black Duke (Noise Rock) Spoiler Oxbow aren't afraid to bring the extraordinary in their songs, inviting some unpredictable outcomes and although this record is short, it offers enough grit for the folks who are into familiar chaotic arrangements and husky voices in their music. Highlights: Cold & Well-lit Place, Letter Of Note, The Upper 61. Idles - Brutalism (Post Punk) Spoiler Energetic, in your face, and confrontational, Idles gets right into action with their hyper punk artillery. Nothing new but expect sarcastic British humor and political themes. Highlights: Date Night, Well Done, 1049 Gotho

Eeveelution Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Silver Eye. Did you get around to listening to their others? I'd say Felt Mountain and Black Cherry are their best if you haven't.

theblackestday Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Wasn't really into Silver Eye. Loved the Oxbow album though As for the others, idontknowher.gif
volition Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Silver Eye wasn't my favourite Goldfrapp release (Felt Mountain & Tales of Us all the way, I prefer their downtempo material) but it was still a good addition to their discography. Oxbow's album was of course excellent and worth the wait Others are too indie for me
Glassmouth Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 nice list so far! I need to check Brutalism
Bloomers Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 You had some super cool album art picks. The Bell Witch one is probably my favorite. Metal definitely is the genre with the best covers. I don't know too many of the albums in the 75-66 block, but I do love me some Chris Stapleton. I do want to check out a lot of the albums there though. Julie, Moses, and Your especially. If I had a dollar for every time I almost listened to the Your Old Droog album, I could probably buy a decent amount of lotto tickets. The 65-61 block is a touchdown for me Porter Ricks, Billy Woods, and Idles are all quality. I really loved the Idles album in particular.
