things I’ve seen on lists that I need to listen to: Susanne Sundfor, Romy, AJR, Algiers, City and Colour

 

I really dug the Hotline TNT record when I checked it out a few weeks ago. Even ran it back a few times in the same sitting. But for some reason every time I’ve put it on since it hasn’t hit as much

 

Takeaways so far:

- I need to check out Wednesday again
- I need to find out what a There Will Be Fireworks is and why it is so good
- I'm going to really struggle to rank this year. Way too much great stuff

 

TWBF are definitely up your street from what I know of your tastes!

 

Yeah, I don't get caught up in the ep vs lp thing. If it's good it's good. I have 3 EP's on my list... BUT

the entire point of me posting my list was to try to get more attention on what I feel are the 2 most under the radar releases of the year in Hotel Etiquette (Thread) and Orson Wilds (Thread).

 

Favorite Albums/EPs (order not set in stone, but pretty close)

Taking Back Sunday - 152
Petey - USA
The Gaslight Anthem - History Books
Zach Bryan - Boys of Faith EP
Noah Kahan - We'll All Be Here Forever
Zach Bryan - Zach Bryan
Hot Mulligan - Why Would I Watch
Spanish Love Songs - No Joy
Foo Fighters - But Here We Are
Bayside - The Blue EP
Manchester Orchestra - The Valley of Vision EP
Slaughter Beach, Dog - Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling
Blink - 182 - One More Time...
Yellowcard - Childhood Eyes EP

 

The Sleeping- Feel Like I'm Becoming A Ghost
Crosses- Good Night, I Love You, Delete
Blink- One More Time
Trent Reznor- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem OST

 

The Joanna Sternberg album is a must listen if you haven't checked it out yet, imo. Haven't seen too much talk on here. In my top 3.

I'll probably get around to my list in January.

 

Started this. Howd I miss this? Really good.

getting Neil Young if he was Randy Newman vibes.

 

Probably set for the year. My wife and I had our first kid in April so everything from the first half of 2023 feels like it came out 5 years ago.

Congratulations - I don’t know a single album on your list haha; excited to dig in!

 

The Rezzett album on that list is excellent.

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It’s crazy that they’re interacting on the same website as me and I don’t recognize any of the albums lol. I clicked on their profile and they’re mainly posting on the metal and hardcore threads so that explains it. It’s like a whole different forum over there lol

 

I said the same thing when they posted their list last year haha. It almost feels like a bit. But then I checked out some of the records and they were pretty cool!

 

No particular order.

hot mulligan - why would I watch
sleep token - take me back to eden
noah kahan - stick season (well all be here forever)
lil durk - almost healed
zach bryan - zach bryan
petey - usa
kelsea balerini - rolling out the welcome mat
teenage wrist - still love
spanish love songs - no joy
trophy eyes - suicide and sunshine
parker mccollum - never enough
charles wesley godwin - family ties
explosions in the sky - end
tyler childers - rustin in the rain
slow joy - wildflower
lowswimmer - red-eye effect
the national - first two pages of frankenstein
there will be fireworks - summer moon

 

I was hesitant to add Noah Kahan to my list since it's a deluxe for an album that came out last year but damn is that such a good album.

 

dude, I was the same but I had to. It was too good. I missed it last year.

 

Couldn't agree more. It's so outside of my wheelhouse, but it genuinely blew me away. Listened to it nonstop for about a week after I was put on to it.

 

It's 7 new songs. I had 3 or 4 EPs on my list that were less that that.

 

Lol I promise it's not a bit, I just like a lot of dumb shit.

Like someone already mentioned, there's a lot of metal/hardcore/oddball stuff there which maybe doesn't get as much play on this side of the site. If y'all aren't as into that, these are some of the tamer ones on the list:

• Landowner - Escape the Compound
• Joaquín Cornejo - Más Allá Que Acá
• Edsel Axle - Variable Happiness
• Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Severed Belonging
• Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View
• Being Dead - When Horses Would Run
• Estebahn - Enceladus
• Jonny Nash - Point of Entry
• Lathe of Heaven - Bound by Naked Skies
• 4d - Limerence
• Rezzett - Meant Like This
• Comfort Cure - Not My Taste
• Naci Oğuz - Kirpi Ikilemi
• Harsh Symmetry - Imitation
• Mary Bell - Cerbero
• Marcel Sletten - Mammatus Clouds
• Left for Pleasure - Human Contract
• jon no son - どれがさいごだったかも
• FFT - Regional/Loss
• Tunico - S/T
• Fly Anakin - Skinemaxxx

ML Buch tape is excellent, definitely gonna make my final list.

 

Great record. High speed calm air tonight was one of my favourite songs of last year, and I was really pleased when she finally announced the full-length.

 

I limited myself to 20 because otherwise my list would go on forever. EP top 10 coming soon.
