Didn't care for that Stott record at first, but I've come around on it recently.

 

I really got lots I missed this year. As with every year, I guess. But I really don't wanna miss anything this year

 

its good but when i compare it to like, luxury problems it just doesnt hold a candle

 

I feel that. It's served me well recently as a comfy cold weather, stoned and sleepy record. Disappointing might be fair, but I appreciate it for what it is.

 

I dont listen to Danny Brown at all, not a bad album but I don't come back to it ever

 

im probably gonna revisit a lot in the coming months because i listen to all of his stuff in the winter haha. and maybe its not fair for me to compare to luxury problems because thats a top 10 of the decade record for me

 

with how much music is constantly coming out and how much i keep up with it, i dont really care if i dont return to an album a lot. if i completely forget about it or dont want to return to it, that's different.

 

Once finals are over I'm going to jump into all that I've missed/neglected. You're end year list will most likely be my starting point, haha.

 

hell yeah! i love when people tell me they're digging into stuff on my list because i can have people to talk about some of the stuff with! since i listen to some genres that are underrepresented on this site outside of a thread or two

 

I added a ton of stuff from your list to mine. Just thought you should know, friend

 

Did anyone else even like that In Her Own Words album? I haven't seen it on anyone's list and it was my #1.

 

Biggest disappointment for me would include Frightened Rabbit, Tegan and Sara, Against Me, M83, The Hotelier or MIA.

Various "scales" of disappointment for the above, but I was disappointed by all of those records.

 

oh yeah FR was a huge bore

 

Letlive man. Letlive.

Ugh, I really thought that was going to be my AOTY beforehand, or at least right up there.

So disappointed.

 

i put it on and after track 1 i was like "damn this might be amazing" and then it took the sharpest nosedive off a cliff ive heard after a great opener since only by the night

 

1. Catfish and the Bottlemen - The Ride
2. Fatherson - Open Book
3. The 1975 - I Like it When You Sleep
4. Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues
5. Thrice - To Be Everywhere is to Be Nowhere
6. Biffy Clyro - Ellipsis
7. Dustin Kensrue - Thoughts That Float on a Different Blood
8. Brian Fallon - Painkillers
9. Black Foxxes - I'm Not Well
10. Birds of Tokyo - BRACE

 

On reflection, I think it's the most disappointed I've been with a record in a good while. After the outstanding Fake History and the potential brilliance of The Blackest Beautiful (had the production not been so shoddy) I had such high hopes for this.

I don't think a single song's stuck with me.

 

Easily the biggest letdown of the year.

I almost wish they just put out The Blackest Beautiful on Tragic Hero and then fell off like all other THR bands.

EDIT: with that said, what the fuck ever happened to The Morning Of putting out a record this year?!

 

Good Mourning America is pretty great IMO and even Reluctantly Dead is pretty good for what it is, but after that....

 

I listened to it again recently for the first time in months and there's still only about four songs I enjoy. Disappointing for sure

 

The 1975 - I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it
Beyoncé - Lemonade
Bon Iver - 22, A Million
Pinegrove - Cardinal
Frank Ocean - Blonde
Angel Olsen - My Woman
O'Brother - Endless Light
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
The Weeknd - Starboy
Solange - A Seat At The Table
Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere
Rihanna - ANTI
Mitski - Puberty 2
Microwave - Much Love
Tash Sultana - Notion EP (I couldn't recommend her enough. Incredible EP)
Balance & Composure - Light We Made
Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
Cymbals Eat Guitars - Pretty Years
Birds of Tokyo - BRACE
Alicia Keys - HERE
Ceres - Drag It Down On You
Cub Sport - This Is Our Vice
Warpaint - Heads Up
