Big Thief - Vampire Empire

Seeing Big Thief next week is curing my depression sort of lol.
amaii - I've Seen Better Days

Struggles as a full album experience but this has some excellent moments. I'm Losing Track of Time is a wonderful track I just keep listening to on repeat. Definitely an artist to look out for.
Just Mustard - Heart Under

Every year it seems like there's an album which I can't quite put my finger on why I love it so much. It just clicks, and that's this LP. Despite the repetitive nature of these songs and the unenthusiastic vocals, I'm just obsessed with this thing. The ominous slow burn atmosphere has me hooked from start to finish and I highly recommend you give it a shot.
Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future

This year has been so good.
Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems

Yep this is amazing but y'all already knew that :)

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, Laz, it's me again! I stumbled on this and thought you might get a kick out of it. It's kinda mathy emo-core/post-hardcore. The harsh vocals took a bit of getting used to (they're very unpolished LOL) but otherwise, the whole album kinda rips:

Not sure what I'm gonna rate it yet, but thought you might be interested in checking this one out!

Yo Laz! Comin' in with a hot recommendation for you- give this a spin or two. I think you might dig it!

Hello, I love your album reviews.
My new EP, a very short one has just released. Will be grateful if you listen and review it. I need honest review, it could be harsh but I want to know what people thinks and how can I improve. There's is some Hindi Lyrics (very few) but the 90% of the album is English. Attaching the AOTY and Spotify link. Will be grateful forever if you respond. 🙏🙏

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!!}

Yo! I just dropped both my EP and Album/(LP) lists just a bit after the new year began! I plan to add a description for each entry on both lists at some point, but it’s essentially all there! Thanks in advance for considering!
