Melon messed up this album so bad, I need to give my mans some love. This album is such an inmersive trip into the darkest London I could imagine.

Starting with the really great instrumental value, it all seems so tight yet so big, as Archy's voice is so emotionally engaging and even delicate at times. I'd never think he could sound that soft and harsh at the same time, it really got me like one of the most interesting emotional takes on an album this decade.

Is a really great compliment to ... read more

This is complex, this is huge, this is a step away from perfection... This album is the best rock album I've heard all this decade. And not even close.

Every song in this album feels so massive, there a lot going on in every song and it all seems so complete and dense. The way this album can layer that quantity of instrumentals all at once, yet it all sounds so clear and massive is unbelievable.

Also, Swans is the only band I can listen to a whole 30 minute song with so much enthusiasm and be ... read more

I like this more than The Suburbs, it seems so well produced and an incredibly entertaining listen.

From the amaaaaaazing production with the one and only James Murphy, to the wide variety of sounds and instrumental choices that it all works so well together, this is maybe the best AF album from this decade.

Highlights: Reflektor, We Exist, Porno, Awful Sound, Supersymmetry.

I need to get something clear right here. In my opinion, this is the runner-up for album of the decade easily. Is so new and wild it really needs to get that recognition.

Is amazing how the wild delivery from Danny just fits so good on these amazing and unique instrumentals that seem impossible for a rapper to jump in. And not just that, it works so well.

This album is the most impossible musical project that happened this year, with no doubt. Incredible production and instrumentals that ... read more

Look.

Came late to the hype train, but...

Is the album of the decade. It has incredible production quality, incredible instrumentals deriving from jazz to a heavy rap base, an amazing concept that flows so perfectly and an amazing way to express such a crucial message for society. Is truly a masterpiece.

Also, the fact this album got a production quality of multiple artists, songwriters and instrumentalists which all of them executed amazingly for each track and line he got to say, and ... read more

The boi gets sad on this one. Really sad. He really is sad. But he is great no matter how sad he is, love you king.

Mixing a really interesting production choice, a magnificent lyricism that really drives you into all he's gotten to talk about, and man... That instrumental is so great. Is truly an innovative rap project and really shows up in this one.

Highlights: Shattered Dreams, Peanut, The Mint, Red Water, Eclipse.

Amazing follow-up to the great Elaenia, making the experience even more inmersive and varied with these two lengthy, but amazingly layered songs.

With Kuiper, that song is just excellent. It really progresses through so many phases and intensities that extends for 18 minutes that brings some of the best instrumental blends and structure I've heard of the genre.

For Marmish Pt. 2 follows the theme of the last For Marmish, a subtle and beautiful song that, in this case, it extends to 14 minutes ... read more

Releasing an IDM-based album that focuses on a fully digital take on the artist style, it shows once again that he still maintains consistent on his concepts and quality. Always A-tier stuff for the boy Sam.

Releasing a fully digital album doesn't sacrifice any progression or soothing sound it brings. It comes really tight and soft at the same time, with really soft sound pallettes and low-key delivery of itself, it maintains really soft during the whole thing.

It also brings some other ... read more

A more organic take on his previous projects, he comes with great progressive music that still adds up to the consistency of quality that Floating Points still maintains.

Never disappointing in production and instrumental quality, it presents a really strong structure, with really great transitions between organic and synthetic as always and a magnificent progression structure that maintains strong on all the album. Great work!

Highlights: All... There are just 5 songs so yeah.

Amazing work from Youandewan right here, what a great blend of styles and elements that makes this a rather unique listen with such a varied delivery in each track.

Going from IDM elements to psychedelic and even jazz elements to this electronic compound of spacey and inmersive tracks that surely can take you to a trip on one or two songs at least, if not the whole thing.

And what a great use of the Weird Fishes' drum sample to the Be Good To Me Poly track, it just makes that track so subtle ... read more

Four Tet, you see. This album is when you got a lot of ideas in your mind and mix it all up, and it blends so perfectly that you get a pristine electronic album.

There is just so much going on in each song, it's just amazing how he can make all of these ideas work in an IDM album like this one, and still so subtle and low-key on its general sound and delivery overall.

Highlights: My Angel Rocks Back And Forth, She Moves She, Spirit Fingers, Unspoken, As Serious As Your Life.

This is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE.

Burial flexes on us on how he grabs Audacity and makes better music than 93.7% than any electronic producer to date with such a wide variety of songs that goes from ambiental goodies to more UK Garage inspired stuff, to trance, to techno, to house... And it all works. It all fucking works.

On a stupidly huge album (almost 2 hours and a half), he brings us some incredible material to dig in and have for almost everybody. It's like a massive buffet with everything ... read more

Pure noisy goodness, like a boss.

Well, after the big cringe up there, this album's great. Is not as refined or accesible as 2012-2017 was, it's a more industrial and noisy take on that nocturnal house you would hear on that one.

It's really well made and raw noise on one song after another, blending that into some kind of danceable tune or just hyper techno (Deeeeeeefers) or a nocturnal, almost ambiental and slow-paced tune (Penny), it truly shows up some extra work form the boy Jaar and how ... read more

Four Tet puts his huge dick on the electronic realm to indicate that he still rules this game really well.

Man, this album is some incredible stuff. It really mixes some great and subtle ideas into one set of soothing, blending tracks one after the other. It feels refreshing, incredibly timeless and one of the best Four Tet records to date, just because, well... Rounds is still a thing... And... Um... Yeah.

Highlights: Love Cry, Sing, She Just Likes To Fight, Angel Echoes, Reversing.

...What an amazing album.

Great electronic work from the 90s that explores on a lot of concepts and ideas that are really out of its time and makes a set of incredibly moving electronic music with a celestial production and some sorts of experimentation that worked really well imo. And there's H&O&O, a 10/10 song wherever you look at it.

Highlights: Halcyon And On And On, Lush 3-1, Remind, Monday, Planet Of The Shapes.

I think this is an interesting take on Jaar's music: making his vocals the main thing and building concepts in each song.

It really stands out on his discography, taking a more personal take on each song and demonstrating that he can make amazing lyricism asides from his amazing electronic music.

It makes this one, of his best projects to date, and almost as good as his amazing debut. It just feels a little bit short, but is a minor problem tbh.

Highlights: Poor Leaves :(

I agree about how inoffensive and easy to the ear this album is, but it's really that quality (without making it generic) that makes this album really good.

In fact, I think is a more accesible take on those concepts that makes this one really good. Is a collection of amazingly produced house tunes that maintain its roots from start to finish and keeps it really consistent on the whole thing. Is like an endless cycle of danceable tracks that blend like anything else.

Did Melon overhype this? ... read more

There it is, his jump on more ambiental music and it sounds great with his style.

It's really soothing how it seems that they collide to each other and make complete sense with more listens, really nice ambient and meditative take on this one and works really well, props.

Edit: this one, with Telas/Piedras release is going to keep morphing and changing for me. I love how in each listen it gets even better and get a more emotionally close moment with this album. And by that, this raises to be ... read more

Lil' bias on here, but Jaar is one of my favorite artists to date and need to give some love to the man though.

This debut was amazing. It shows all that Jaar knows about house music and blends it on his own style that is just spectacular. It makes this album as something really unique of a listen and one of the best electronic albums of this decade.

With this great production to all the variety from danceables to ambient-ish and haunting tunes that blends magically on this one, just ... read more

This album. Look.

Is amazing.

It has one of the best productions I've ever listened EVER, incredible soundstage control on this one and an incredible fusion of Jaar's style and Hamilton's amazing organics, creating this electro-rock product on its purest and crispiest form to date.

Also, how it progresses from song to song is a work of art. Making all this structure blend from one song to another, it feels tight and expanded at the same time and really underrated imo. It sure lands on my top ... read more
