I really dug the Hotline TNT record when I checked it out a few weeks ago. Even ran it back a few times in the same sitting. But for some reason every time I’ve put it on since it hasn’t hit as much
Takeaways so far: - I need to check out Wednesday again - I need to find out what a There Will Be Fireworks is and why it is so good - I'm going to really struggle to rank this year. Way too much great stuff
Yeah, I don't get caught up in the ep vs lp thing. If it's good it's good. I have 3 EP's on my list... BUT the entire point of me posting my list was to try to get more attention on what I feel are the 2 most under the radar releases of the year in Hotel Etiquette (Thread) and Orson Wilds (Thread).
Favorite Albums/EPs (order not set in stone, but pretty close) Taking Back Sunday - 152 Petey - USA The Gaslight Anthem - History Books Zach Bryan - Boys of Faith EP Noah Kahan - We'll All Be Here Forever Zach Bryan - Zach Bryan Hot Mulligan - Why Would I Watch Spanish Love Songs - No Joy Foo Fighters - But Here We Are Bayside - The Blue EP Manchester Orchestra - The Valley of Vision EP Slaughter Beach, Dog - Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling Blink - 182 - One More Time... Yellowcard - Childhood Eyes EP
The Sleeping- Feel Like I'm Becoming A Ghost Crosses- Good Night, I Love You, Delete Blink- One More Time Trent Reznor- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem OST
The Joanna Sternberg album is a must listen if you haven't checked it out yet, imo. Haven't seen too much talk on here. In my top 3. I'll probably get around to my list in January.
Probably set for the year. My wife and I had our first kid in April so everything from the first half of 2023 feels like it came out 5 years ago. Top 5 in no order: Landowner - Escape the Compound Joaquín Cornejo - Más Allá Que Acá Suppression with Bastard Noise - Infernal Legions 3D & the Holograms - S/T Edsel Axle - Variable Happiness Everything else: Illiterates - No Experts Cerbère - Cendre Ismatic Guru - III Cross - No Beginning, No End Saffron - No Passenger Closet Witch - Chiaroscuro Santificado - Profaners of the Cross Ascended Dead - Evenfall of the Apocalypse Vigil - Demo '23 Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Severed Belonging Left Cross - Upon Desecrated Altars Artificial Joy - 100% Pure Joy Black Button - Rejoice Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View Cicada - We Are Going to Kill You Secretors - Comparing Missile Size Vol. 1 Slant - Demo 2023 Kavari - Against the Wood, Opposed to Flesh Nurse - S/T Speed Plans - Statues of God Discarnation - Demo Kleener - S/T Being Dead - When Horses Would Run Estebahn - Enceladus Zorn - S/T Jonny Nash - Point of Entry Lathe of Heaven - Bound by Naked Skies 4d - Limerence Tupperware - Summer Tour Tape '23 Powerplant - Grass EP Rigorous Institution - Strange Harvest Turbo - Demo 2023 Sin Offering - Charnel House Rezzett - Meant Like This Bloody Flag - S/T Comfort Cure - Not My Taste Horrendous - Ontological Mysterium Naci Oğuz - Kirpi Ikilemi Harsh Symmetry - Imitation Mary Bell - Cerbero Perp Walk - The Chain of Infection The Stools - R U Saved?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It’s crazy that they’re interacting on the same website as me and I don’t recognize any of the albums lol. I clicked on their profile and they’re mainly posting on the metal and hardcore threads so that explains it. It’s like a whole different forum over there lol
I said the same thing when they posted their list last year haha. It almost feels like a bit. But then I checked out some of the records and they were pretty cool!
No particular order. hot mulligan - why would I watch sleep token - take me back to eden noah kahan - stick season (well all be here forever) lil durk - almost healed zach bryan - zach bryan petey - usa kelsea balerini - rolling out the welcome mat teenage wrist - still love spanish love songs - no joy trophy eyes - suicide and sunshine parker mccollum - never enough charles wesley godwin - family ties explosions in the sky - end tyler childers - rustin in the rain slow joy - wildflower lowswimmer - red-eye effect the national - first two pages of frankenstein there will be fireworks - summer moon
I was hesitant to add Noah Kahan to my list since it's a deluxe for an album that came out last year but damn is that such a good album.
Couldn't agree more. It's so outside of my wheelhouse, but it genuinely blew me away. Listened to it nonstop for about a week after I was put on to it.
Lol I promise it's not a bit, I just like a lot of dumb shit. Like someone already mentioned, there's a lot of metal/hardcore/oddball stuff there which maybe doesn't get as much play on this side of the site. If y'all aren't as into that, these are some of the tamer ones on the list: Landowner - Escape the Compound Joaquín Cornejo - Más Allá Que Acá Edsel Axle - Variable Happiness Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Severed Belonging Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View Being Dead - When Horses Would Run Estebahn - Enceladus Jonny Nash - Point of Entry Lathe of Heaven - Bound by Naked Skies 4d - Limerence Rezzett - Meant Like This Comfort Cure - Not My Taste Naci Oğuz - Kirpi Ikilemi Harsh Symmetry - Imitation Mary Bell - Cerbero Marcel Sletten - Mammatus Clouds Left for Pleasure - Human Contract jon no son - どれがさいごだったかも FFT - Regional/Loss Tunico - S/T Fly Anakin - Skinemaxxx

Great record. High speed calm air tonight was one of my favourite songs of last year, and I was really pleased when she finally announced the full-length.
