He made a brief reappearance after Trump won the election. I haven't seen him post since.

Nick Cave's Skeleton Tree blows anything metal out of the water tbh.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I gotta look through the stuff I bought that came out this year. I'll come back to this!

The best is when the person's list is all one genre

 

[Mort Divine]

i'm 90% sure the only metal album i heard this year was Darkthrone's Arctic Thunder which is really good

and i'd rather listen to carly rae jepsen's emotion side b (my aoty) than anything that dusty old fart has done but its fucking irrelevant to this topic so

Why not eat a box of baking soda if you love basic shit so much?

I'd rather listen to Lil Peep than Carly Rae Jepsen and that's saying something hahaha

CRJ's last 2 releases (Emotion and Emotion Side B) really aren't 'basic shit' - least not in the context of current pop music (which i'm guessing next to no one here has an even half informed opinion on and any opinion they do have is some variation of 'pop music is shit')

She showed a shit ton of growth and doesn't deserve being associated with Call Me Maybe anymore

Truth hurts?

What's true to you isn't necessarily true to me. My favorite non-metal album of the year is probably Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

What an overrated artist. Boring.

Oh this is all just my opinion of course. Also, I should check that band out. Atrocity Exhibition is one of my favorite Joy Division songs.

 

[LuminousAether]

Danny Brown isn't a band, he's a rapper, and an extremely different one that switches between a kind of low key "normal" sound and a much higher pitched, more manic style. If you don't like rap, I don't know how much enjoyment you'd get, but it's also not your typical rap.

I don't think all pop music is shit - Marie Laforêt certainly isn't. There is a faint chance that I'm unfairly prejudging CRJ's most recent album. However, I must be given good reason to believe that it has pathos for it to be even remotely worthwhile. I looked up the page on RYM for that album, and it gave the descriptors of "happy, energetic, romantic, love, melodic, optimistic, summer, female vocals, uplifting, passionate, party", so I don't expect it to not suck.

 

[The Ozzman]

I love how Mort still tries to push his shitty pop music on everyone after all these years. He is relentless so you can't knock him for that.
