Pusha T - My Name Is My Name
65
Before Pusha T was “all about creating masterpieces”, he settled for My Name is My Name, a collection of tracks lacking any cohesion that contains some of the finest achievements in the genre last decade as well as some of its stalest and most instantly dated. The kind of album he makes hasn’t changed since, but his ear for better beats and unfathomable skill as an emcee (one that still shines on this project) has done nothing but improve. Wonder how he feels about this record ... read more
JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
86
Of course it’s good, not sure what anyone else expected.

Scaring the Hoes succeeds where its many collaborative albums (save Kids See Ghosts and Haram) fail in its ability to utilise its artist lineup for more than dual fandom clout. Peggy produces some of his most excitedly forward-thinking beats to date, and Danny returns from a long period of dormancy to find new weirdo ways to spit the coldest and funniest bars known to man over them. This pair up works because the two bring the best ... read more

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs

Finally, pop punk that is more punk than pop. As well as ska, funk, metal, indie rock, and a bunch of soundboard plug-ins. More than anything, however, it is unabashedly and unapologetically fun.
Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
84
Yves Tumor’s finest achievement to date; a complete refinement of everything they’ve done to standout thus far (as well as the album format in general, goodness me what an amazing flow of songs), while managing to separate itself even from the rest of their discography with even more popularly tasteful experimentation and a well-rounded overarching theme. If only God wouldn’t punish me for eternity for listening to it…

While I did find a lot to appreciate about Model/Actriz’s impressive debut, I will say that the widespread claims of “masterpiece” are a little lost on me. The band has certainly carved out quite a distinct sound and style for themselves, and one that will be exciting to watch evolve overtime, but I frequently found it difficult to engage with Dogsbody as a structured album experience. This unique production reminiscent of an industrial LCD Soundsystem frequently repeats its ... read more

I'm bored and so decided to make another community list; this time,

What is a record you believe has defined its genre albeit through shaping said genre, or has established said genre in popularity and/or existence, and why?

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, I hope you're doing well.

I'm making a list and I'd love to know which album has had the greatest influence on your current taste in music? If you want, I'd also appreciate it if you could say exactly how it's made you grow/learn more as a listener (don't worry, you don't have to do this part).

Thank you for reading and answering, if you do

Hey, Making a List of Peoples Lockdown Albums, what 2 or 3 albums have you listened to most during the lock down? Thanks!

About

I like good music, I dislike bad music. My opinion on which is which is 100% factual. Don’t question me.

Also, I change my ratings a lot. This does not make me wrong, in fact only makes me more correct when I come to the realisation of the slight inaccuracies of my previous statements of facts.
