Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 602: I Know You Like It by Shinichiro Yokota
My immediate point of comparison is Octo Octa. I feel like there are some classic deep house records I should actually be comparing this to but I'm illiterate in life. This definitely contains a lot more movement within the songs than anything I've heard from Octo Octa, more obvious samples are present, and there's a lot more emphasis on the higher frequencies here. None of this changes my opinion on the music. I just don't like this as much as For Lovers or Where Are We Going? anOH SHIT SHE RELEASES A NEW ALBUM A WEEK BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY FUCK YEAH Anyways, back to this album. The grooves are good, but a select few of these tracks honestly come off as a bit cheesy to me, almost like it's trying too hard to keep a throwback vibe around. This doesn't affect the majority of the album, but I think this would've been better at, like, two-thirds the length with some of the less enjoyable tracks cut, usually the ones with more clutter (did I just contradict myself? Who gives a fat flying pigfuck) although it's hard to call anything cluttered here. It still gets a pretty good rating because minimalism like this is my fucking JAM at the dead of night. Best Track: Time Traveling Rating: 6.5/10

Day 603: ANIMA by Thom Yorke
something something /mu/ something something RateYourMusic something something FUCK U SHARIFI something something white hipsters something something sounds vaguely like Kid A something something most overrated band of all time something something lazy eye something something Space Ghost I remember back when I actively listened to Sufjan Stevens I thought his electronic album (The Age Of Adz, not any of that early bullshit) was highly overrated, but I enjoyed it because he was trying something new. Tommyboy here doesn't get to say that. This is overrated. This is boring. Maybe I just haven't listened to it enough, in fact this is the first time in a while I'm only listening to the album ONCE, but enough people have heard this and jacked off onto it that I don't feel like relistening to it any time soon. What makes this special? The guy's musical prowess seems to have barely made any change since Kid A! It's not BAD, but I'm really failing to see how this is one of the best albums of the year. This is slightly warmer than that album and Amnesiac, less warm and also less repetitive than The King Of Limbs, and probably only slightly less overrated than all three of those albums. To be frank I haven't been thoroughly impressed with any of his band's work since In Rainbows and I haven't listened to much else of his solo work, and this doesn't make me feel like seeking out more of his solo work. I realize that it's shitty and useless to compare an album to the other works of the artist, and it's even shittier and more useless to compare an album to the hype, but suck my dick I just wanted to cross this off my year list. Also, stealing a title from Boards of Canada is fine but when your song isn't even half as good as theirs it rings slightly insulting. Best Track: I Am A Very Rude Person Rating: 5/10

I think Earth is one of the few shows I'd like to go see live. Go get lost in distortion.
Oh yeah that reminds me Boris is coming here soon. Hmm...

Day 604: CALIGULA by LINGUA IGNOTA
Charts charts charts. There's some gorgeous moments and some absolutely terrifying moments, and a lot of boring moments that do absolutely nothing for me. Also, it's not good study music. I guess I'm too basic. Best Track: I AM THE BEAST Rating: 5.5/10

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 605: GINGER by BROCKHAMPTON
You know I was gonna be on this fast because even if I'm not nearly as hype for their new releases these days I still love a huge portion of those SATURATION songs. This... eh. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than Iridescence. They seem to be leaning more heavily into their "boy band" image than ever before and that's not what I came to them for really. Actually yeah, this is definitely worse than Iridescence and after such a wait that is a damn shame. I don't get it, when they dropped 3 albums in one year they had more consistency. I don't want to believe the loss of Ameer affected them that much considering he always felt out of place, was kind of boring in many songs due to his repetition and those 1997-1999 singles were fucking fire, but the magic is mostly gone minus a few cuts here. I think they have some great work left in them as a collective, but mostly I'm just waiting for the inevitable solo album from JOBA and Merlyn's trap blow-up whenever that happens. Best Track: ST. PERCY Rating: 5/10

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 606: So Much Fun by Young Thug
I hate the majority of the features on this album, yet they mostly work in the context of their songs, although it seems nothing can make Nav not suck ass. This thing being over an hour long feels excessive, but I've practically come to expect that of most trap releases. Other than that, once again, not much I can say, you know how this is gonna sound. It's at least a little bit more consistent than Beautiful Thugger Girls, but I don't think that's saying all too much. Just... trim it down man. Please, trim it down. Best Track: Mannequin Challenge (wow I like a Juice WRLD song am I incel now?) Rating: 6/10

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 607: King's Mouth: Music and Songs by The Flaming Lips
There's a couple good cuts here, but there's nothing really "wow" here except maybe the closer, and the whole thing reeks of just, like, coasting on what people expect. It's not bad, it's not good, it's just uninspiring. I expect better from Drozd. I haven't heard of Wayne Coyne getting into any stupid controversy recently, but I will bet $500 on his crackhead ass showing up with him and his new mid-20s popstar girlfriend in blackface within the next decade. Best Track: How Can A Head Rating: 5/10

Day 608: Nocebo by Elizabeth Colour Wheel
On the other hand, this shit is fucking fantastic for at least 2 baked listens and 1 sober listen. A couple annoying moments but never for even the majority of the song and the beautiful and the energizing parts (usually seperate) more than make up for it for me. Best Track: Hide Behind (Emmett's Song) Rating: 8.5/10

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 609: Animated Violence Mild by Blanck Mass
I thought I reviewed a Blanck Mass album here before, but apparently I never did. I've definitely listened to World Eater multiple times, but I forgot to leave a rating and haven't listened to it in a while. I remember it being, like, a 7. This is, like, the same thing. Feels very much like a progression from that album, without striking me as immediately better or worse... This whole comparison is flawed because I'm too lazy to check that album again. Oh well. This album's decent, and like I THINK World Eater was I find it more consistent than the Fuck Buttons albums I've listened to. Funny album title. Best Track: House vs. House Rating: 7/10

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
Day 610: Norman Fucking Rockwell by Lana Del Rey
Like I said before, the 5 year anniversary special is still being worked on! At the rate I'm working it'll be lucky to be a 5.5 year anniversary special, but to be honest do you care? Who reads these things? And what I have planned is peak self-indulgence so really, it's obvious that just like this thread I'm doing this for myself. But stay tuned, the two of you who check this thread, for the special surprise I have planned! Anyways, I haven't listened to a Lana album since Ultraviolence. I remember how she went from some kinda Pitchfork hype to melon backlash to slowly regaining respect and now apparently she's /mu/bae again? Whatever, the strange thing is is that I still enjoy Ultraviolence which coincides with Fantano's angriest moments. I pull it out less than once per year, fair, but it definitely is a fun, fun album full of cheese and pomp. I described it as sounding like "a made-for-TV collaboration between early David Lynch and John Waters" and I stand by that... god I miss Puerto Rico. Where has the time gone? Anyways, this album is good, but I don't like it as much. It's comparatively very subdued, with a whole lotta tracks of just pure piano ballads. The first 5 or so tracks are great, but eventually it just turns into WAY too many ballads over and over again. Are they bad? No! Do they get boring in such abundance? Yes! Cut this down to, like, two-thirds or less and it'd be a great album. Nonetheless, I will probably return to this once in a damn while, because when it's on, it's ON. Best Track: Venice Bitch Rating: 6.5/10

Day 611: Guerilla Toss by Guerilla Toss
Here's an album I listened to years ago, never rated and forgot, then decided to listen to again. It seems like the band disowned everything pre-pre-Gay Disco and took it off Bandcamp, and that's a damn shame because this blows everything that came after out the water. Whyd they try to go pop? Best Track: Drip Decay Rating: 8.5/10

Day 612: Fear Inoculum by Tool (Album Choice: dashoe93)
I've had this band's debut on my "to listen to" list for like 5 or 6 years now, but oh well, let's just jump into their newest album instead. I've heard a few of their songs before, they weren't really for me. And yeah, this still really isn't for me. I'm too easily bored. Best Track: 7empest Rating: 5/10

Back in 2016 you listened to Incarnate for me when it came out, any chance you’ll give Atonement by Killswitch Engage a listen?

Re: Recommend me some 2019 albums halp
have you listened to that 6 album set by the caretaker? everywhere at the end of time? probably one of the most important releases of this decade, a lot of ppl say it's this decade's disintegration loops but much better and doesn't even exploit 9/11 !!

Day 613: Come In by Weatherday
I'm sick as fuck, my foot's infected, I've been in a car for 7 hours now and am stuck one more, and I have a test and an essay due early next week. Kill me. Also I can barely hear this album behind the car chatter but whatever I'm rating it anyways. Best Track (to the best of my knowledge): My Sputnik Sweetheart Rating: 6/10 (Fandingo is right it's an easy baseline)
