American Football - American Football
78
American Football by American Football has found a way to progress from American Football while not making the same mistakes of American Football. American Football show on American Football that American Football have grown since American Football and American Football did make American Football American Football. But what really American Foots my balls is how American Football made American Football American Football while keeping in tact the elements of American Football's American Football. ... read more

Acoustic Ladyland - Last Chance Disco

JAZZ PUNK!

I've had a craving for a good jazz rock album for a while so I went ahead and asked for a few recommendations from a friend, this is one of the albums they came up with. I was not disappointed. A blending so seamless as polarizing as it might sound of jazz and post-hardcore music, it's worthwhile even if you're there just to enjoy the spectacle but the thing is it actually works. The jazzy saxophones hook on to the driving bass-lines and drums to give such a fun experience.

Poppy - I Disagree

Poppy's genre bending abilities are on full display in what i hope to be the album that spearheads the beginning of this decade. Seemless transitions and blending between the two extremes of the music spectrum and adding in sprinkles some of what's in the middle.

It's been quite a while since an album has legitimately surprised me with it's choices and it's way of flow. I haven't heard anything like this in my experience and I'm delighted to find something of this degree of quality and ... read more

clipping. - There Existed an Addiction to Blood

Gather around the burning piano kids, it's time for a good fright!

Spooky season is hitting it's peak and naturally we are getting the best albums of the year at these times. clipping. created what i can only call an airtight horror festival; a chaotic set of stories that build up on each other with the same narrative of expanding noise. The feeling of being introduced with Nothing is Safe into this album is such a magnificent experience. The lyrics and production blend masterfully into the ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - All My Heroes Are Cornballs

At what point does it stop being experimental music and just starts becoming a bunch of noises slapped together? because i do agree that this is a shitpost.

I'm not even unironically disappointed, I kind of expected not liking this considering how so many people adored Veteran and this being kind of a continuation and exaggeration of the thought process that went into that album. It's hard to really narrow down my thoughts on such a mess of an allbum, which is one of my core problems with it ... read more

Can you please give me your top 5 albums from 1971?

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

I'm making a list where, judging by AOTY users' individual top ten albums, I'm compiling a ranked community top 100. I'd love it if you could contribute by just replying with your top ten ranked from 1-10; I'm totally fine with being redirected to a ranked favourites list of sorts, if that's what you'd prefer.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and replying, if you do

Hey amw100 , I’m making a list named AOTY’s favorite concerts and I would love if you could participate in it!

If you want to participate in the list, you need to include the name of the artist, album toured
(or your favorite album of theirs if it was not a specific record being toured), and sum up your experiences in a few sentences.

I hope you have a great day, and thank you for considering.

Hey I just wanted to let you know that my list aggregating AOTY's favorite albums of the year 1970 is finally live, and that you are included in it!

This was a very big project that would not have been able to be completed without your ratings and I hope to continue this series with future installments!

If you would be so kind as to check the list out and even possibly give me any feedback at all it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

What is your favorite album of the year 1970, and could I get a few words on your thoughts on that album!?

{I’m going to be doing a series of lists where I go through AOTYs favorite albums of every year since 1970 and this is the first part of that ultimate goal!!}
