Love 2 see cwhit get owned during the holidays

 

The date of release is probably when the release date is, just the logic I use.

 

Is RTJ3 just more of the same? I used to love them but kinda got bored of them recently.

 

I've been on the "rtj is boring" tip for years now lol

 

This post is a Christmas miracle

 

It's different and good

 

I aim 2 please

 

A Christmas fucking miracle

 

Took me forever to figure out what QOTSA song is sampled on Man after reading that P4k blurb. Then realized it's from the one album I haven't heard.

 

Did you just insult Public Enemy?


...and spell their name wrong?

2) Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
3) James Blake - The Colour in Anything
4) Young the Giant - Home of the Strange

Emma Ruth Rundle is very good

 

Figure that I won't get around to the albums I've been meaning to relisten to until well into 2017, so may as well make my list now. Definitely listened to the least amount of new music of any year since 2008/2009, but the albums that stuck with me I absolutely love.

1. Pinegrove- Cardinal
2. Every Time I Die - Low Teens

Both of these made a massive push over the month of December to overtake my #3 pick for the top spot. I could almost go either way on which is #1, but I think Pinegrove wins by being the more diverse of the two emotionally. ETID, while fantastic and Keith's best lyrical contribution yet, is so fucking bleak lol. Undoubtedly, still fantastic.

3. The Dirty Nil- Higher Power

My AOTY from its February release till earlier this month. Can't express enough how fun this album is. The fact that a couple songs were released in years past kind of validated my opinion of slotting it down to #3. Seeing them play almost this entire album in full this year was an absolute blast.

4. The Hotelier - Goodness
5. PUP - The Dream is Over

I absolutely love that Hotelier album, but just don't connect with it in the same way as the top 3. A beautiful, uplifting album that I think exceeds HLNPTI. Could very well change after seeing a few songs from it live in January. As for PUP, I think I still prefer the self-titled, but they delivered everything I wanted in this album. If This Tour into DVP into Doubts might be the best three song sequence of the year.

6. Into It Over It- Standards

Always like Into It Over It better when Evan's writing either his fastest, "rockiest" material (Vis Major, Adult Contempt) or acoustic numbers (Open Casket, The Circle of the Same Ideas). Intersections seemed to have more material in the middle, which is why I think I preferred this album much more.

7-10 are basically interchangeable

Direct Hit!- Wasted Mind
Gates- Parallel Lives
Joyce Manor- Cody
Touché Amoré- Stage Four

And 5 Honorable Mentions

Balance and Composure - Light We Made
The Dillinger Escape Plan- Dissociation
Hail The Sun- Culture Scars

Listening to The Dirty Nil today after seeing their Audiotree Live performance and I'm hooked...grungey punky goodness and exactly what I needed this week.

 

Deftones 'Gore', Metallica 'Hardwired', Thrice 'TBEITBN' and TBS 'Tidal Wave' is on everyone's right? Right?

 

Haven't enjoyed much other than a couple individual songs for TBS in years, but I absolutely was blown away by Hardwired. Such a great album that I wasn't expecting from Metallica. Love Thrice's new one, Salt and Shadow is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever written, and Love Love Love Gore...
