2013 Music

[Jebus McAzn]

B E Y O N C É

 

[Agonist]

New Cynic rocks, even if it as just as far removed from metal as Carbon Based Anatomy, perhaps even moreso.

Sounds like something off The Portal Tapes imo.

 

[danilo]

lol no one has talkd about the new burial

 

[BKC]

it was alright. probably would have liked it more if it was entirely instrumental.

 

[Audiosurfer]

after reading the pitchfork boty list i think pitchfork might be the new spin

 

[Harlot]

also year end lists time!!

5. Run the Jewels - s/t
Hip-Hop / El-P production

4. The Ocean - Pelagial
Post-Metal / Sludge / Progressive Metal

3. Young Fathers - TAPE TWO
Experimental Hip-Hop / Noisy as fuck / Heavy African influence

2. Ephera - Ecstasy

[Byrne]

song of the year thoughts?

haim the wire imo

 

[faint]

i like 'falling' more. that shit is my jam.

 

[Deschain]

Tunnel Vision is SotY.

 

[cjrocker]

Nosetalgia. That song is fire

 

[Arch]

Song of the year is Arcade Fire's Afterlife for sure. With Deafheaven's The Pecan Tree and MBV's She Found Now coming right behind it.

 

[Seneschal]

"Touch" by Daft Punk is my favourite song of the year. "Beyond" by Daft Punk is my least favourite song of the year. I'll post my favourite albums when I'm done deciding (still gotta catch up on some shit first). Unless I am absolutely devastated by something I haven't listened to yet, which I doubt will happen, Janelle Monáe's The Electric Lady is gonna be my pick for #1.

 

[Audiosurfer]

agree with faint, falling is so good :) not sure if it's my fave of the year but definitely up there

 

[danilo]

haim is p bad =[
doin it right is probably my fave song

 

[jumpluff]

I accidentally spent this year fucking listening to 2012 albums but highlight songs for me were Hot as Sun - When We Fell, Los Campesinos! - What Death Leaves Behind, and きのこ帝国 - ロンググッドバイ. I can't really pick a favourite song from Reflektor (it'd probably be Porno or the title track) but I will hear it live soon so that will be cool.

eta: Oh yeah almost everything on Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito was amazing. I think I liked Subway the most.

Also:

Enjoyment: ARTPOP > BEYONCÉ > Britney Jean
Appreciation: BEYONCÉ > ARTPOP > Britney Jean
Consistency: ARTPOP > Britney Jean > BEYONCÉ
Hype Satisfaction: ARTPOP >>>> Britney Jean >>>>>>> wtf new Beyoncé album? >>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Harlot]

soty is still probably blood on the leaves or tinseltown

 

[baddjordan]

legit i like justin biebers youtube stuff

 

[UsernameSayWha]

legit i like all of justin biebers stuff

yeah me too

 

[Renosaur]

I've listened to a whole lot of new music for 2013 compared to last year thanks to many smogoners (pm recommendations and through plug.dj!). Whilst I really liked the releases of 2012 I did find some new favourite bands (Chvrches!) and have developed a liking towards synth/electopop
I really liked the albums Lorde - 'Pure Heroine' and Cults - 'Static' (i put my fav tracks as hyperlinks) but soty for me would be 'Gun' by Chvrches. Can't wait until I see them live next year in Sydney!

 

[Byrne]

haim is p bad =[
doin it right is probably my fave song

Doublepost I do what I want.

I am beyond excited for The Dismemberment Plan releasing their first new album in over a decade. Oh and I guess new MBV is cool...

I was looking back at first page for nostalgia sake and wanted to tell you how sorry I was that their new album was shiiiiiiiiiiit.

I liked it, but it's definitely disappointing / their worst album. Songs are a bit better live though.
