1. Kanye West - The Life of Pablo Albums I've liked but not returned to (no order): Future Kendrick Brian Fallon Dustin Kensrue Sia Explosions in the Sky Albums I wasn't all that into (no order): Rihanna Daughter The 1975 Been spending a lot of time exploring music I've missed from previous years or going into other artists' back catalogs. And audiobooks.
Pinegrove - Cardinal HINDS - Leave Me Alone Kendrick Lamar - Untitled Future - EVOL Ton I need to hear still/give more listens to
I heard half of Paak when it first dropped and really enjoyed it, need to go back. Will check out King
highly rec show me a dinosaur for all my metal loving friends edit: they're from st petersberg russia, just like trna, the band i discovered in 2015 that i love. they have similarities in their sound for sure.
Still pretty unsure of the order, and these aren't all Q1 releases, but these are my top 10 favorites I've heard so far this year. 1. The 1975 - I like it when you sleep 2. Brian Fallon - Painkillers 3. Sturgill Simpson - A Sailor's Guide to Earth 4. Parker Millsap - The Very Last Day 5. Donovan Woods - Hard Settle, Ain't Troubled 6. Ryan Beaver - Rx 7. Michael McDermott - Willow Springs 8. Aubrie Sellers - New City Blues 9. The Wild Flowers - Lonely is a Lifetime 10. Charles Kelly - The Driver HMs: Margo Price, Lake Street Dive, Brothers Osborne, Cactus Blossoms, Steve Moakler
In no particular order; Daughter - How to Disappear The 1975 - Album Title The Jezabels - Synthia David Bowie - Black Star Friends in America - Bad Pint Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit Pinkshinyultrablast - Grandfeathered Saul Williams - MartyrLoserKing Yndi Halda - Under Summer
Is the Jezabels record a step up from the last? Loved the debut full length (endlessprisoner get it lol) but didn't care for the one before
I like it! I thought the last one was great too, I loved their pure Kate Bush worship, so maybe I'm not the best judge of it ha, but I think it's well worth a listen. Probably the best song on there.
1. O'Brother - Endless Light 2. Brian Fallon - Painkillers 3. Violent Soho - WACO 4. Into It. Over It. - Standards 5. The Thermals - We Disappear 6. Suede - Night Thoughts 7. Say Anything - I Don't Think It Is 8. Wild Nothing - Life of Pause Not been a wildly great first quarter for me but the top 6 are all great LP's. The bottom two are there simple because I actually heard all of them. I do really need to listen to the new Iggy album, Plague Vendor too I need to listen to ASAP.
Pinegrove, Loner Chic and Kanye have basically been my album rotation for months. Nothing else this year has really caught my ear as much as those.
Been super slacking on music this year but The 1975 Kanye West Somos Kamaiyah Father Future Anchor & Braille Rihanna Most anticipated: Drake PUP Pusha T Tegan and Sara Twin Peaks Mitsiki Kanye (?????)
I listened last night and, as expected, loved it. I need to spend more time with it, but it's definitely a great release "Mistakes" is a top song of the year for me at this point.
My favorites are probably "Godawful Things" and "Miserable Failure," but "Mistakes" is great. Only song on that album I'm not into is the title track.
My current top 3: Anderson .Paak - Malibu The 1975 - I like it when... Daughter - Not To Disappear The Last Shadow Puppets like just leaked but I can definitely see it making my eoty list.
1. The Hotelier - Goodness 2. Loner Chic - Year of the Goth 3. Infinity Crush - unreleased songs and demos 4. Sioux Falls - Rot Forever 5. Pinegrove - Cardinal 6. Panoramic/Talk Tired, Thanatoid Split most anticipated: cymbals eat guitars mitski look mexico aaron west modest mouse (?) all get out (?) captain we're sinking (??) sidekicks (???) junior battles (????) dead to me (?????) fav songs: two deliverances imaginary #2 caroline new friends chain of lakes your best american girl guarantee jesus
@nothingsforeverdude Good call on Junior Battles. I feel like their last record was really under-appreciated.
Junior Battles just put out a cover of Dancing On My Own and it made me very happy even if I don't like them much
