2016.5 // our favorite songs of the year (so far)

always has the best lists

 

I think it's interesting that Jessy Lanza was at the top of their songs and albums list. Normally they'll mix that up. I might have just noticed because I didn't really get into that album, even though it's the kind of thing I would like.

 

Dope, Twon and Hinds made their list

 

New Diarrhea Planet album is really fucking awesome. Something I see myself coming back to a ton.

 

Also really digging the new Fear of Men record.

 

Subject to change by the end of the month

1.Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book
2.Weezer - The White Album
3.Pinegrove - Cardinal
4.Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost
5.Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
6.Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere
7.Brian Fallon - Painkillers
8.The Hotelier - Goodness
9.Beyoncé - Lemonade
10. PUP - The Dream Is Over

It's a little bit too 'The National with female vocals' at times, but there's definitely something to it.

 

Seeing a ton of goodness on these lists but havnt seen a lot of you in the goodness thread! Come join!

prob forgetting a lot

 

It's amazing how well this scene of music has been represented on these year-end lists. Hotelier and pinegrove have shown up on quite a few, but also pup, into it over it, modern baseball, etc so it hasn't felt like they just added the token album either

 

i think it's mostly that that this site is shifting away from warped tour music and more towards what is sort of the new wave of indie rock.

 

Yeah, I can definitely see that. Even still, it's a lot more representative of bands I'd expect to see at something like the Wrecking Ball fest in ATL, rather than at Coachella or Lolla

 

let's see, some stuff i'm into so far;

The Hotelier "Goodness"
Into It. Over It. "Standards"
Pinegrove "Cardinal"
Somos "First Day Back"
Tancred "Out of the Garden"
Pity Sex "White Hot Moon"
Posture & The Grizzly "I Am Satan"
Beyonce "Lemonade"

these are just my fav full lengths so far

 

No particular order, but 7 that will stay in my top 10:

Hotelier
1975
Brian Fallon
Beyonce
Kanye
Band Of Horses
Weezer

I'm assuming Brand New and Every Time I Die will get in there, maybe HAIM, maybe JEW if they get it out by the end of the year but not sure how far along it is.

 

Chance gets a spot

 

I am so out of touch with music. These days I don't usually get into albums until the dust settles and they've been out for a year.

But 3 albums that have really impressed me this year are

Thrice - TBEITBN
Brian Fallon - Painkillers
Deftones - Gore (my front runner so far by some distance)
Kvelertak - Nattesferd (easily my most listened to)

Albums I am kicking myself for not listening to properly yet:

Hotelier - Goodness (still haven't fully processed their last one)
Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost
Into It. Over It - Standards
Basement - Promise Everything

Albums I am eagerly anticipating:
Blink
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Against Me! - dp will it even be out this year?

 

will post my list here later

this year has been veeeery good so far, nothing has struck like sufjan last year but as a whole those first six months delivered
