It's getting close to the end of the year. Thankful for keeping up to date with my list on here, will make end of the year list super quick and easy.
What's everyone top 3 albums of this year? I think I only listened to six new albums this whole year so I'm just now playing catch up.
Gaslight Anthem Menzingers Mansions All three are recent though, so maybe that's why. I also love the EPS from Manchester Orchestra and Michigander.
I've never really been a fan of Bleachers, but didn't think the new song was bad. Not a fan of a sick saxophone solo?
I haven't heard this but I can't imagine it's worse than nu-"We Didn't Start the Fire", a recording so without merit I will feel feel a tiny bit of resentment for having FOB on my EOY list.
damn i didnt know Rae Sremmurd finally released their 4th album earlier this year. its surprisingly very boring for them. crazy.
Yea really strange, the energy is what makes them great. The album's terrible with the exception of the closer imo.
@ALT/MSC/FAN want to drop a new thread for next year? I’m assuming there is not much big stuff coming out the rest of this year
Honorable mention: Lanterns on The Lake - Versions of Us Slowdive - Everything is Alive Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex
If it's of any interest to anyone, or help if people are still finalising their AOTY lists, here's my release schedule spreadsheet with 4600+ albums and EPs that were released this year. I don't see many more records dropping across the last two days of the year, so I'd say 2023 is pretty much finalised now. What a year for music 2023 has been.
