The Quietus is much more cultured than I am. Mine's just a bunch of shitty metal and d-beat lol. Looks like @Jbent and I are on the same page for a lot of them.
I’ve tried to listed to the geese album multiple times and I just can’t figure it out for the of the life of me.
Truthfully what made this album so great for me is that it did not click right away...but once it did it was all I could listen to...so unique from song to song and even within each song
Nice to see a Cory Hanson mention. Also surprised how little love Ty Segall’s new album got this year.
There have been so many good albums this year, I am finding it hard to rank and narrow down. So much stuff I really enjoyed but forgot about when Geese came out and I only listened to that for a month or two.
Oooo my bad...sorry Patrick...didn't realize your list had initiated this Geese convo...but seeing as you have it as number 1 I will now look further into your recommendations
