Title. I find these types of reviews to be awesome to read, especially if they are shitting on the album big time. I want to see long winded reviews that talk about why they think they’re better than the Bible or worse than hell.

Here’s my all time favorite review to see the type of writing I’m looking for: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/lord0fdiamonds/album/597-lift-yr-skinny-fists-like-antennas-to-heaven/

These are my top 64 albums

It’s supposed to be a folk album, but there’s no way it‘s a 100 or a 0. It’s also definitely the biggest split i’ve ever seen. I guess I recommend listening to it

I just don’t want to go through all the effort of writing out recommendations if no one is going to take or read them.

Also to make it music related I recommend Remains by Tokyo Shoegaze. Great rock album from this year

I wanna see what yall have been listening to as of late

Here’s the playlist that is in the top right: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yR6rSzvCPkv7m6BnswniU?si=LU00f2RrSEOslk3chAZcTg&pi=iLvvwbFyTrOO1

Ok so before I get into this I f’d up and didn’t read the announcements so my previous post got taken down. Make sure yall describe the album yall put a picture of!

Feel free to share your 100’s.

Don’t include something like TPAB or Vespertime that are pretty close already

Slide: A chillwave/hypnagogic pop album from the GOAT George Clanton.

Glimmer of God: Jean Dawson tries out a more approachable sound by creating some beautiful R&B/80’s pop inspired songs.

Avantdale Bowling Club: My personal favorite rap album oat because of its beautiful jazz instrumentation and meaningful lyrics.

Two Star & The Dream Police: A shorter album but with a beautiful production style that no one has been able to replicate since its release.

I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU: It was my first introduction to Peggy and experimental hip hop as a whole, and it hooked me the first time I heard it. 

Vanisher, Horizon Scraper: Quadeca builds one of the most immersive albums I’ve listened to with the great, ocean-like production and Quadeca’s mix of rapping and singing.

Bandana: The dusty feel of the production matches perfectly with (imo) some of Freddie’s best rapping performances. And he’s able to get black thought, Yasiin Bey, and himself on one song?

Virgin: A very minimalistic approach on production, but it contrast beautifully with Lorde’s heavily emotional lyrics and performances.

Swimming: This is one of my favorite albums to listen to front back because of the consistent feel of the album’s beautiful production that matches the album cover so well, and Mac’s great performances.

If we want to have any sense of coolness to cover up the true cornballs we (yes, WE) are, we need a better pfp than this. No diss to whoever made it, but using one of my recommended pfps would be way better. I tried to think of things that were both niche and popular.

The first 3 are my true recs. These albums are actually popular (for Reddit) and have amazing album covers. Also, when I recommend the black Vanisher cover, I mean the black Vanisher cover. That shit is so fly.

The other 3 are albums that I like a lot but are a little less talked about. Still great covers, but if this actually happened, I would choose one of the first 3 (specifically the BLACK Vanisher cover).

Dear Reddit mods, I hope you will take my recommendation into consideration. This would genuinely want me to visit the sub more just to see the BLACK Vanisher cover.

And to relate this to music, I recommend you (the reader) listen to Pleamar by Resplandor. The album has guitar work from a member of the Cocteau Twins and mixing by a member of Slowdive, which if you don’t know, are both peak dream pop/shoegaze. So you at least know the production is good going into this

Don’t see this discussion enough and it’s kind of crazy since they’re both amazing EPs for their own reasons. I lean towards ❤️, but ❤️ still has a special place in my ❤️

For me, it’s when people say “there’s no good rap/music anymore 😔.” Genuinely grinds my gears when people say this bc we are in an era that there is music for everyone. If you can’t find good music that has released in the last 10 years, you aren’t searching hard enough

As cool as a STH Vol 2 would be, my vote is Quadeca and Danny. Some of my favorite verses from Danny are on the 2 Quadeca albums, so seeing that would be amazing
