I'm going to check out that Miguel album really like "sure thing". I didn't even realize he had an album until this thread. Thanks.
|
Completely agree with Death Grips at number one. There is really no one else out there making music like them.

Wow this A$ap Rocky album might be the best album of the year even though it doesn't officially come out until jan 15 2013. Do yourself a favor and peep it.

Reaper, I noticed you have a lot of Rhymesayers stuff on here, but no Aesop Rock. Did you listen to Skelethon?

Do you not listen to progressive metal anymore? Are bands like Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Baroness all mediocre? All three of those bands had crazy good releases.
You're changing, Reaper. |

Hip-hop has, frankly, been more "progressive" in recent years. There's tons of exciting things going on with hip-hop production. I like the Baroness album(s). If I went to 40 albums it'd have landed in the 40-31 area. |

Too often im reminded of: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nV0GI8FkJBc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> IMO, the vocalist sounds just like Wes Willis. |
I know it's not necessarily in your musical spectrum, but I absolutely loved WIXIW by Liars. Great album, if you're into Radiohead knock-offs.

No, the first time I heard it I thought of Wesley Willis, too. But it's still really, really ****ing good. |

OK, I won't go nearly as in-depth as Reaper, but my top 5 are:
5. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory 4. Jack White - Blunderbuss 3. Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city 2. Frank Ocean - Channel ORANGE 1. Death Grips - The Money Store / No Love Deep Web (I'm not cheating by putting the two together. Money Store would have taken the top spot alone, but I personally can't separate the two albums.) |
Ok ok. So I dove into death grips a bit more last night. I watched an interview and some live videos.
I now see WHY people are intrigued by this group. It IS different. I'm not a fan of the vocals at all though. Imagine if he was a great lyricist and had much better flow. |

If you listen to it for a few minutes, it sounds like abrasive noise. After 20 minutes, it becomes almost meditative and trance-inducing... in a really brutal way. |
My children now shout/sing/chant in their best Stef voice, "I eat PUDDING!" to the tune of "I've Seen Footage."

Reaper I like reading your music lists but they make me feel shallow and closed minded.
|
The Money Store is getting heavy rotation at the moment. Definitely enjoy it when I'm gaming.
|
Good list Reaper!
The Fiona Apple disc is terrific. And just when I thought El-P was a one disc wonder, he does this. |
I have pretty much neglected new music for the first time in a while this year. Enjoying the latest Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear and Chromatics albums.
Bought The Money Store this weekend after reading this thread and not sure that to think of it yet. Listened a few times and a few tracks are starting to somewhat click (Hacker). Was this a shitty year for alt/indie music? Most of the end of the year lists I have read make it seem like a strong year for hip hop. Not really a genera I usually like but seems like I might need to check out a few albums. |
kendricks album was highly over rated

I'm listening to Norah Jones "...Little Broken Hearts" and I really love those first few tracks. Spotify is pretty amazing, btw.

New Phosphorescent album in 2013!
