Never expected Demi to be on your list. She really did that.

The National :alexz: You need to get into Boxer, their best album :-*

Jlin :jonny5: Not an interlude being your favorite though :biblio:

Demi really did that didn't she? 

No comment on Gorillaz or Deforestation Swords :)

I really love the interlude, it gets stuck in my head :jonny:

I have a soft spot for Forest Swords but I gotta say I enjoyed Engravings a biT more than Compassion. This is random but I saw him live with my friends a couple months ago and they had an iron with them (don't ask :skull:) and him signing iT after the show was a big kii :ahh:

Anyway, Black Origami and Sleep Well Beast were really gewd too :clap3:

Wth :ahh:  stan tho :clap3:

i only listened to jlin once, wish i got more into it but definitely will give it another chance. humanz just... nothing really stuck. aahhh surprised at demi tbh. i haven't really listened to anything of hers from this era because she'll never beat the 1-2 PUNCH that was cfts/confident.

CFTS and Confident are like, her worst songs. You should give it a listen imo :-*

Sleep Well Beast is amazing :alexz: And you got the worst track of the album right for once! 

Demi being on your list is a surprise! :clap3: 

I always get them right :fan: & she won :clap3:

 

On 12/21/2017 at 7:04 AM, Pink Matter said:

Some interesting choices so far! King GIzzard, Priests, Blanck Mass, Sampha, and Gorillaz are my faves from your previous sets :clap3: 

Didn't really care for Kelly, Jay Som, Laura Merling, Kllo, and I didn't listen to 4:44 (no Tidal and I didn't want to illegally download soooooo)

And I've seen Demi on so many lists :jonny: Maybe I should check it out?

DOOM METAL

Quote

Chelsea Wolfe fully embraces her metal side with this album. She delivers bombastic instrumentation and production and stellar arrangements, creating an atmospheric, heavy, and dark sound throughout the album, and a hell of a captivating listen. The album is generally quite consistent, but there's too easy standouts for me: "Two Spririt" – the closest thing to a folk song on the album – with Chelsea's siren-like vocals over an acoustic guitar, is a spiritual experience. Then, the chaotic and intense "Scrape" follows it, featuring her best vocal performance. one of the most eargasmic album closers of all time.

 

faves: Scrape, Two Spirit

least faves: Particle Flux?

POST-PUNK

Quote

This album executes perfectly whatever it's trying to achieve, from the fantastic production to everything else. The instrumentation feels super tight and clean – especially some of the brilliant guitar riffs. I live for guitar work that conveys emotion and it's done here successfully several times. The album manages to be diverse all while maintaining cohesion. This is more than a standard post-punk album, which is why it's the best album of the year in its genre imo.

 

faves: Half Sister, Caitriona, My Children

least faves: Don’t Go to Anacita

INDIE ROCK

Quote

Some could say this album is formulaic, but honestly who cares when it's so good, enjoyable and fun? There's tons of catchy hooks and awesome guitar playing. I love the badass attitude and edginess of this album and the incorporation of different styles. It's poppy but punky. So, yeah, I don't have much to say here. It's your classic indie rock album.

 

faves: Apocalipstick, Only Kid on the Block
least faves: Told You I'd Be With the Guys

DREAM POP / SHOEGAZE

Quote

I sighed upon the first track on first listen for sounding like your typical, generic dream pop song + tragic vocals. But thankfully with repeated listens I fell more and more in love with this album, and no doubt everything that follows the opener is miles better. The songs are atmospheric and contain beautiful compositions and shoegazey rhythms. The fan-favorite Sugar for the Pill is a prime example of that. The lead single, Star Roving, is a classic shoegaze track. There's also the flawless Cocteau Twins-esque Don't Know Why and the haunting Radiohead rip-off Falling Ashes. But Go Get It is by far the standout of the album, being the closest thing to a post-rock song on the album, and a SOTY contender for me – I really wish they'd lean into that direction with their next album. To sum it up, Slowdive's comeback doesn't reinvent themselves, but instead continues delivering what they're best at – superb dream pop/shoegaze tunes.

 

faves: Go Get It
least faves: Slomo

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:

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:
