Chesea Wolfe is not getting nearly enough love :clap3: a fantastic record.
Also love the 1-2 punch of Slowdive and Cherry Glazerr.

Slowdive slowly revealed itself to me too but I'm still not fully into it.

 

Hiss Spun and Relatives in Descent were good listens but I forgot to go back :!ohno:

I've listened to 20 - 16 at least once.. And Apocalipstick was the highlight for me :clap3:

Yeezus, how do u find these music?

Honestly? I don't know. But I discovered Broken Machine through the album thread here :cm:

At other times it can be from last.fm, music publications, AOTY.org, ATRL members, etc.

OT: Nice set! Cherry Glazerr is my fave from this bunch. Also really liked the Slowdive album too. Chelsea and Protomartyr didn't really have any staying power for me though :katie: 

 

Another note:

 

How am I just seeing this?!?! I think the **** not you trick ass bich :fish2:

It's trash

Omg I love all of these albums :jonny:

Hiss Spun went into a great musical direction for her and it is such a glorious experience to listen to

Protomartyr’s album was a highlight for post-punk in 2017 and it really delivered

Apocalipstick is just pure fun and I agree that it’s not too groundbreaking but does it matter when it’s that enjoyable?

Slowdive’s return nearly even lives up to their opuses and it could’ve been legacy-tarnishing but it wasn’t, it’s really great

Rocket is such a lovely folk / alt-country album that’s moving and also still interesting musically to listen to :jonny:

 

only 1 of these albums did not make my list :fan:

Accurate post :clap3:

Perched to see which :fan:

This was an obvious AOTY material since my first listen. Every song here stands strong both by itself and in the context of the album, with each having that epic feel. It's masterfully produced and mindblowingly good. The Talking Heads influence is huge in this album, but they pull it off.

 

faves: I Used To, Other Voices, How Do You Sleep, Change Yr Mind

12. WOLF ALICE

Visions of a Life

ALTERNATIVE ROCK

Quote

Wolf Alice were one of my first favorite bands. I was obsessed with My Love Is Cool and it's still one of my favorite albums from recent years. I was obviously very excited for this album, and when it came out, I was kinda disappointed. But this ended up being the biggest grower of the year for me. I became obsessed with it a couple of weeks later and it still has everything I love about them. It effortlessly blend numerous sounds and genres, even moreso than their debut did. It closes it all off with the epic three-part prog-rock album closer, that is truly an experience. I'd say I still prefer their debut, but this is a great sophomore that proves that Wolf Alice are, as they're commonly referred to, the UK's greatest band.

 

faves: Space & Time, Planet Hunter, Visions of a Life, Formidable Cool, Yuk Foo, Sky Musings

INDIE ROCK / FOLK ROCK

Quote

The songs on Capacity were written by Adrianne about traumatic experiences, and it's done by fantastic storytelling. The melodies and compositions are incredibly captivating. It's a beautiful, warm and unique record. I go to sleep every night to this album since I discovered it. I really wish I could give it a top 10 placement.:'(

American Dream has one bad song while about half of LFL is questionable

We decided to unstan!

No but really, I was too lazy to write a writeup for it, but it's a great album and I still love it. I don't think of it as a disappointment, but it's a huge downgrade after UV and HM imo. It's too long, inconsistent and incohesive and it also didn't age well very for me (I haven't listened to it since its release month), so yeah :cm:
