Thank ya’ll, have a happy halloween & Enjoy!

Tu as eu de la chance de grandir avec cette culture la, je ne sais pas quel âge tu as, mais moi qui est 21 ans, quand j'étais jeune il y avait déjà les mp3/baladeurs. Maintenant j'ai une ptite collection de vinyle avec pas mal de rap des années 90 et de rock en tout genre + la collection de mon père qu'il m'a donné (essentiellement du jazz et de la musique africaine). Ce qui me permet en tout cas de ne pas tout écouter en immatériel, faut que j'pense à faire une liste de cette collection dans le futur ;-)

I also finally (after about 4-5 months of exploring the decade almost every day) compiled my top 100 albums of the 1950's, I have you to thank for helping me find a lot of the albums that ended up making the list :)

You make very good points, I never thought about that. It makes me wonder though, if all of the so called "bad jazz" has fallen to obscurity, God knows how many absolute masterpiece albums are out there in someone's grandad's collection, completely unknown to most people like me or you, lost to time.

Any abstract hip hop artist in particular?

I can see why it feels like a playlist for sure

Can you listen to this? https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/270201-shaffer-the-darklord-mark-of-the-beast.php

Have a nice day!

P.S. It would be awesome If we could probably have you on an episode for an album your passionate about!

I've listened to a LOT of jazz from the 1950's this year and even if some stuff didn't interest me as much as other stuff, I've yet to listen to a bad jazz album from that era. That got me wondering if something like that even exists so I thought I would ask you... is there any BAD jazz albums you know of from the 50's or is that simply not something that's possible lol

In your opinion who is the most overrated artist (for a list)

(I was bored and wanted to know your opinion on the new Gorillaz album lol )
Salut double! Comment fais-tu ce que tu as pensé du nouvel album de Gorillaz? Je voulais faire ça parce que je sais que tu parles français et ça pourrait être une bonne idée On parle en français

Très heureux de lire justement toute cette passion dans tes reviews et c'est vrai que ça me fait vraiment chaud au coeur quand je vois qu'il existe toujours des adeptes de l'album et de la musique non-fast-food, des vrais passionnés qui cherchent toujours à découvrir plus de musique!
Je pense que c'est faisable, quand ce satané corona nous aura enfin foutu la paix. Si tu monte un jour sur Paris, je serais ravi de te rencontrer irl :) Sinon, une petite question qui n'a pas trop de rapport: as tu une collection de vinyles?

Congrats on reaching 1000 followers!! Your reviews are truly great.

Thanks so much! Your support is always a blessing, even on something as dumb as my dad list.

You totally nailed the principle! My album choices are just strange and hyper specific to me, and I was in a particularly odd mood yesterday (as evidence by my very weird list choices.) I’m happy most people seemed to have fond memories based on the albums they chose.

Je crois que je suis un peu en retard mais je me doit absolument de te féliciter pour les 1000 followers. C'est un cap que tu te devais de passer, tu es sûrement la personne la plus géniale du site et tu nous as fait découvrir tellement d'albums et d'anecdotes croustillantes. Tu es vraiment passionné, et ça fait plaisir de voir que tu n'as pas de limites musicales: tu passes de Dorian Electra à John Fahey en passant par du modal jazz ou de l'experimental, j'apprécie vraiment ton ouverture d'esprit. Continues de guider la communauté d'AOTY et de partager ta passion avec ta série HOTA, je ne te souhaite que du bonheur ! <3

Okay so I've never solicited for a list before, but I had an extra obnoxious idea and I wanted to get other people to contribute to me being obnoxious.

What album makes you think of your dad?

Warm thanks for the kind words, DoubleZ! You’re always was and will be one of my main inspirations in the whole AOTY community. I hope some say my reviews are gonna be at least 10% as good as yours haha :)

Only listened once so far, but i did enjoy it. It kind of feels like an alternate version of Ambient 1 - Brian Eno. It's really chill and easy to relax to, but also does some very unique things that would make it hard for other listeners to get into.

Thanks!

Hey! For a list I’m making, what is your feel good album?

Glad to hear! I just gave No- Input Mixing Board a listen, it's a very intriguing kind of album!

Congrats on 1,000 my friend. You definitely deserve it.

Np!

of course!!

Congrats on 1000! You deserve it, your reviews are some of the best here

Congrats on getting 1000 followers! You truly deserve it.

https://soundcloud.com/mshasky/sets/trippin-on-shrooms-in-a?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1 Btw, I made a little experimental dark trap album, I’d appreciate any rating or feedback or anything, or review. It’s like 20 mins long, thanks so, so much if you do :) I just have to shameless self promote :( lol

Hey! It’s Stankysauce under my new alias Alkaline Pink with my new debut Halloween mixtape on my new label Insomnia Café! This new mixtape is by FAR my best material to date and a total change of pace from my last project Analog Autopsy. I am done with that synthwave type stuff to embrace more loud distorted sounds, as I am going industrial this time around. I tried to make it sound as dark and nasty as possible to celebrate the spooky month!
Anyways, I hope you guys like it!

Thank you!

Congrats on making it to 1,000 followers!

Thank you! It was an interesting find, i was on a thread on RYM about albums that had been forgotten from the 00's and the name stood out to me (:

1000 again! There are some peculiar people on AOTY

Congrats on 1000

I would love that! I haven’t had much time to dedicate to writing some articles for it myself and I haven’t had the precise topic come to mind I want to write about. But you’re more than welcome to provide something and I’ll be more than thrilled to share it!

Congratulations on 1,000. One of the best reviewers on the site!

you're welcome and thank you for the kind words!
(i meant 1000 btw my bad)

Congrats on 1000! I know you already hit it once, but I figured I'd wait to congratulate you until you got it again lol. You really deserve all the followers you get. You have some of the best researched and most well-written reviews on the site, and I always enjoy reading your History of the Albums reviews.

congratulations on making it back up to 100!

1000 followers (again)! A huge milestone, as you know, calls for celebrations 🍾

You made it back!

I saw thanks! Hope you like what I got going, u da man Z!

My man follow me on ig @Bruhmanreviews

What’s the most disturbing, vile, sick, horrific, twisted, and grim album, of any genre, you’ve ever listened to? Obv for a list :)

Merçi beaucoup! :) It's nice to hear from you, someone who I can see is also deeply passionate for music as well. I always try to stop by and get a chance to read what you've written. Thanks for the support. I'll see if I can get the gears runnin' again with new reviews.

Hey, I'd recommend checking out this instrumental synthpop record. Give it any rating you want if you get a min, low rating is fine too if you hate it lol

@DoubleZ Hey no problem & thanks man, I really appreciate that! Keep up the great work also.

I'm trying to put together a list of scary album covers for a youtube video, and I'm needing some recommendations for this list - what are some scary (unnerving, gross, uncanny) album covers you've seen? Your recommendations will be credited in the video btw. Thanks in advance!

No for sure, it's hard to even imagine there are 1,000 active users when you only really see the same twenty people posting reviews. Haha.
