I'd also say in the sense of what scope of music electronica use to cover I'd probably not totally disagree. If you are younger I'll be honest that his post probably makes no sense to you. I'm assuming this person probably fits this mold. So if you are of a certain age or ilk electronica was a genre with certain key known sub genres. I could be spewing nonsense, and I could be way off base from the poster. Slight conjecture coming so I'm letting everyone know ahead.
Dude is remarkable consistent in being just above-average. That's about all I have to say.Įvery Bonobo album is in the same range for me. Check out the J£zus Million mixtape, too. Check out this track she did with J£zus Million, llusions Of. I don't know why I left it out but the more I think about it the more that was dumb. Did I mention White Noise? White Noise is the fucking jam. Hey I forgot about the HudMo remix of White Noise in the bonus section before so listen to it. It's a good record but it isn't Settle and it never had a chance with White Noise out. Most memorable thing they did this year sold another artists' album. Lesson for the future: don't ever feature on a track as hot as White Noise the same year you're dropping your own album. Too much talent on the record not to have moments though, like I listened to Ingenuine for a week straight. Thom York needs stop making beats and get back to Radiohead. Major Lazer isn't about the album, it's about the live experience, but tell me Watch Out for This doesn't get you going and I'll tell you you don't have a soul.įor real neither of these dudes can rap worth a damn but they do what they do. Cupid's Head still gets me going though.īest part of a Major Lazer show: the confused look on dudes who showed up because of Get Free. And now it feels like he's out of shit to explore so he went for more texture and drone-ish and it's whatever. Looping State of Mind was a pretty good medium between them. Yesterday And Today was amazing and more organic. It's just, From Here We Go Sublime was perfect and precise. I like it more now than I did the first two or three times I listened through. Cerulean was so good and this just seemed like b-sides that weren't ready for prime time.Įh. I don't know, just wasn't feeling it much. I GOT FAITH IN YOU RYAN YOUR COLLABS ARE ALL DOPE AS HELL KEEP TRYING.Įxpectation game strikes again. I want more Day 'N Nite and less of this, man. Dude was killing it for so long and everything on his actual album just felt poorly thought out and without meaning. Parallel Jalebi is good as hell.Įxpectations were too high for this as well. I'm just not in a place to listen to it all that often, you know? Like I gotta be alone, put on a hoodie, dim the lights, get some whiskey, and be in a real serious and dark mood to throw this on. Real, real good and there's nothing else like it. Without is an A++++, got me swiveling in my chair and looking like a fool level song, but the rest can't compare to it. I even did a 180 on Congratulations and suddenly enjoy it (It's Brian Eno! Brian Eno!).
I guess someone just pissed in my Cheerios between this morning and now, I don't know. Edit: I sound real critical of most of these, but I totally enjoyed them a lot. I want to do a most disappointing and maybe overrated/didn't get it list when I have some time too. I'll get to most of it at some point in the thread I'm sure.
I wasn't exhaustive in plotting it out though so there's some stuff I probably missed. These would make up my list post #25 if I had kept going. I was thinking about it while I worked today and I have some honorable mentions. It'll take a while but yeah.this was dope. I'm working through shit I haven't heard from this thread. Any other Hip-Hop I should check out? I feel like I fell out of the loop this year. I didn't really care for Yeezus, which seems to be a pretty unpopular opinion in this thread. This is all I can think of right now, I still need to listen to the new Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros - among others. Like Clockworkġ2) Dillinger Escape Plan - One of us is the Killerġ8) City & Color - the Hurry and the HarmĢ0) Mandroid Echostar - Citadels (Fucking AMAZING EP) 3) Converge - All We Love We Leave BehindĦ) All Pigs Must Die - Nothing Violates this Natureġ1) Queens of the Stone.
