![David Bowie - ★ [Blackstar]](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/43569--blackstar_112949.jpg)
I'll be honest: I though Blackstar was excellent when it first came out, but it has become a whole new album with the recent news. Granted, that was exactly what Bowie expected. Blackstar is the great swan song that passed straight under the radar of the world's collective consciousness until tragedy brought it new light.
This is a difficult album to get through. However, OPN provides rewarding glitch soundscapes and some semblance of song structure - hell, even some weirdly funny parts.
Sticky Drama, Child of Rage, I Bite Through It
There's no doubt there's an element of asking fans to politely piss off in this EP. Many of the ideas are infantile and could have been more, but Monastic Living is promising for the future of Parquet Courts.
Monastic Living I, Frog Pond Plop
Ugly, brutal post-punk that reaches new heights in texture. Some of the most prime songwriting of this year.
The Devil In His Youth, Cowards Starve, I Forgive You, Boyce or Boice, Clandestine Time, Why Does It Shake?
Grimes' latest is a decent pop record but fails to dazzle with darkness like Visions. Evidently, Boucher is undoubtedly brighter on Art Angels and refuses to compromise.
California, SCREAM, Kill V. Maim, Realiti

I just really hope I don't offend anyone.
