The Chorus.fm Staff’s Top Albums of 2017 • Page 4

probably because everything since On The Impossible Past has been half-baked *ducks*

 

Post Rock Thread

Do Make Say Think was in my top 20. Lots of good stuff last year.

 

Probably my biggest disappointment of the year, next to Big Boi's album.

 

After the Party is a Post-Punk Depression record.

 

Same here ;d but last year I feel like I didn't listen to that genre too much actually! Thanks for the list, you reminded me of Hidden Hospitals (though I can only find an album from 2015, which I haven't heard anyway). Got excited for new Enemies, too - but "Valuables" came out in 2016 ;( and I had it on my list last year!

Some of those I also really liked, but couldn't highlight it enough - Vasudeva made an awesome album!! it's in my general TOP 10.

I enjoyed new And So I Watch You From Afar as well, and just two days ago I managed to catch up with the lastest album from I/O ("Anyone, anywhere") and got to know a French instrumental band Silent Whale Becomes A° Dream - and I'd highly recommend these two new releases ;D

 

I don't like punk rock. I like old guys reminiscing about being punk rock.

 

Wrong. ATP is great and RW has some great songs(but it is quite inconsistent)

 

enjoyed participating in this again and glad that i got to write about manchester orchestra, my personal favorite album last year. if anyone is interested, i did a twitter thread last month with my own list:

 

Thanks, what a match - just the very last page of that thread contains both of the recommendations I've just made above hehe.

 

It's pretty cool the new Menzingers album actually kind of put them on the map among their pop punk peers.

 

Does it make me a bad person that I still put Brand New as my top of the year? I think Jesse is a shitty person sure, but I've been waiting on that record for eight years and I liked it for what it was.

 

Julien Baker is still underrated.

 

im still unsure what my AOTY is. i put Glassjaw as my #1 in the members list thread but tbh i didnt listen to as much music as i normally do. not sure why.

Glassjaw, Menzos, Julien Baker, The Maine, Kendrick, The National, and Circa are probably my most played of the year.

 

this list was great btw shoutout to all the writers and contributors

 

ASIWYFA definitely made my top 10. I thought it represented a great return to form for them, having not really enjoyed Heirs.

 

There's so many other, better records written and released by people that don't exhibit predatory behavior though...

EDIT: I don't think it makes you a "Bad Person" but as someone who used to model their dress, stage presence, and demeanor on that that guy: I moved on, why can't you?

 

It’s on my list (linked on main post)

 

I forgot about it but that Lite record was great. I wasn’t into sleepmakeswaves.

Vasu was my personal favorite post-rock record this year

 

Shoutout to Becky for including the best album Of The year at number 9

 

Cowards for not putting the band that helped carriy this website for years. Websites been trash for too long.

Used to come here to find good new bands...now its just Tate’s political agenda.

 

I don’t get it

 

I know

 

Hi JasonTateSucks

 

Lists full of a hundred+ bands gets boiled down to "Tate's political agenda" because I think sexual assault and misconduct is bad.
