Kept up with this little project over the year. Any favorites? Any least favorites?

i didn’t listen to much actually but after the party is my aoty

I listened to most of my 2016 list this year. My favorites were Blackstar, Splendor and Misery, Starboy, Bottomless Pit and Glass Animals' How to Be a Human Being.

Of the 2017 records I got to this year, my favorites are:

BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION II
The Mountain Goats - Goths
Guerilla Toss - GT Ultra

I'll get back to you this time next year, after I've gone through my 30-something 2017 albums, with a post about how few 2018 albums I listened to

Here are some single songs from 2017 I love:

Bedwetter - "Man Wearing a Helmet".
BROCKHAMPTON - "QUEER"
Clipping - "The Deep"
Guerilla Toss - "Skull Pop"
Jay-Z - "The Story of O.J."
Kendrick Lamar - "Humble"
Kesha - "Praying"
Mastodon - "Toe to Toes"
The Mountain Goats - "Rain in Soho"
Niel Cicierega - "T.I.M.E."
Open Mike Eagle - "Brick Body Complex"
Portugal. The Man - "Feel It Still"
Sampha - "Blood On Me"

After the Party had replay value spanning over the entire year for me, loved it.

15. LCD Soundsystem - American Dream

yeah same, constant rotation since the day it came out lol



if we’re doing single songs I feel obligated to let everyone know I listened to “xo tour life” waaaay more than I should have

XO Tour Life is honestly good and even if I can't take him seriously and his lyrics are dumb most of the time, even in the song, the way he sings the chorus is honestly filled with emotion

Basically just Mastodon and Slipknot

The Wild Feathers: This was a new discovery for me this week. Currently only listened to their first album Greetings From the Neon Frontier. I've really been feeling a country rock/roots rock vibe so far in 2019. I haven't even been able to finish the album because I've been so focused on the first 4 tracks.

this year i took a break from almost everything and got really into trap and hip-hop. mostly just stuff that gets me hype af cause i need anti-depression music right now

ybn cordae and j cole+dreamville dropped some great music this year too. waiting for kendrick to drop something but not holding my breath

so far i've listened to like 60 albums this year and none of them have really been below a 7, so it's been a good year. some of the standouts however, have been:

He Is Legend - White Bat
pretty straightforward metal with a rob zombie-esque horror vibe and rolled around in some southern mud for good measure. not much of a thinker but it's a lot of fun; i don't think i've gone a day without hearing the chorus of "I'LL BE YOUR BOOGIEWOMAN IF YOU'LL BE MY BOOGIEMAAAAN" in my head

SeeYouSpaceCowboy - The Correlation Between Entrance And Exit Wounds
grindcore. less spastic then Songs For The Firing Squad but still very heavy with a lot of heart & energy. the last 40 seconds of With High Hopes And Clipped Wings nearly brought me to tears the first time i heard it but i'll chalk that up to me being an enormous b****

Baroness - Gold & Grey
despite maybe having one of the worst production jobs in recent memory (LOUDNESS WAR, BABY), I'm still a huge sucker for Baroness and enjoyed the s*** out of this. baizley also remains one of my favourite artists; the cover for this album is immaculate

Blaqk Audio - Only Things We Love
the synthpop side project of Davey and Jade from AFI. catchy as all f***. definite Depeche Mode influence on some tracks. good times

Hellripper - Black Arts & Alchemy EP
HOLY
f***
RIFFS dude


check Injury Reserve and Little Simz
