A rad year (thus far) for music.
- Might have to give SZA album of the year (thus far).ideaist
- I LOVE Hammock, but not completely sold on Mysterium. The choral stuff doesn't do it for me. (Felt the same way about Oblivion Hymns).Nathan_Adams
- Yeah; ambient music can have it's limits.
Maybe They Will Sign For Us Tomorrow is their finest; stripped down and perfect.

The Quietus produce the only Album of The Year list you need.

A worthwhile mix of techno, noise, psych, noise, etc. etc. - and it's telling that a vast majority of the work is available on Bandcamp.
Get on it, you mugs.

Pitchfork Top50 Albums of 2017 is out
https://pitchfork.com/features/l…
99% of the list is hip hop, rap, electro, r&b
I tried to listen to those albums and GOD some are SO boring! I like 2 albums only on that list.
Rock is dead for many people. Even here on QBN in the 'What are you listening" thread its 95% eletro stuff.
- Also fuck Pitchfork! They haven't say a word about the work of Art that is the new album of Susane Sundfor! WTF!Bennn
- heh, dead for years. i play in two bands and am younger than half of the crowd at 35y/o. pitchfork is just surface noise, the lack of commonality is down to thakingsteven
- they're actually just a fucking traditional/ rock reporting rag like rolling stone that's trying to keep up with the kids.kingsteven
- but yeah, that is a particularly poor selection. i'd go as far as saying every good record on there is also on the quietus list.kingsteven
- that Kelela though... <3kingsteven
