parkinglot Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 some people may think 2015 was a good year for music. some people may think 2015 wasn't a great year for music. we all listen to different music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The moral of the story is that you should be listening to better music. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I felt like I bought a lot less records this year. All my favorite releases have been digital only, none of my physical purchases have really blown me away this year. Rocky Votolato - Hospital Handshakes Metz - II Four Year Strong - S/T Soda Bomb - Wanna Jam? Tommy Boys - S/T Red City Radio - S/T Refused - Freedom Ghost Key - The Things I Am Not Desaparecidos - Payola Sorority Noise - Joy, Departed Dikembe - Legde 7" Foreign Tongues - Fragile, As Said Before PO: Beach Slang - The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Apparently I don't listen to music because what is all this shit? Although "I don't like shit, I don't go outside" is a pretty dope name for an album. How is that possible? Those are all the super high profile records of this year.

dvv Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 1st half of 2015 has been a big meh for me, hopefully the second half is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 How is that possible? Those are all the super high profile records of this year. I'm old and tired. I used to be obscenely connected to new music back when Oink was around. I listened to everything and always knew what was up. I no longer have a music tracker to dl from and I just don't have time to read up on shit and look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nah, 2013 was the 1994 of this decade. That year had an insane amount of great records from newcomers, established artists and legends. 2015 has been pretty damn good though. Definitely better than 2014 imo. Currents has really grown on me and I can't stop listening to it. I'd put it on top of my list if it wasn't for To Pimp a Butterfly. I doubt anything will top it.

Shitty Rambo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Last year was better than this year (so far). Like double d said I'm hoping cooler stuff will pop up as we enter the end of the year. And I'd say 2012 and 2013 were pretty much on par, both had solid releases, although I prefer the former toe to toe (On The Impossible Past, Masked Intruder, OFF! followed by Home, Trouble Will Find Me, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 There's a new Wrens album out this year so I agree that it's the best in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Seriously, was an early fan of that first record....been onboard with that band for a bit now. This new record is horribly disappointing....I don't need electronic influences on a Tame Impala record (he's got that other project that I'm definitely NOT a fan of for that crap) nor do I need 80's pop intermingled in it. I also laughed when I saw the cover art....past two album covers were fairly decent and seemed to fit the mood of each album....this shit was on my elementary school trapper keeper. "Currents" does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe in a few years it'll grow on me? I highly doubt it. I am still optimistic about a second Melody's Echo Chamber album though I pretty much agree as well especially the artwork it sucks ,they should've stuck with the previous artist. I guess I see it as Halloween 2 On its own it's ok not great.But as a part of their discography it's pretty weak. It just reminds me of a cheap knock off of an air record. -The new toro y moi was good -Graveyard and kadavar lp's after the self titled and hisengen Blues were underwhelming. -I'm anticipating the new uncle acid -frank turner ,I hate to keep on this path but I'm not very optimistic. Tape deck heart just reminds me of 90's alt rock influences and a very easily accessible record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 There's a new Wrens album out this year so I agree that it's the best in a while. I've been saying that for the last five years.

rooks Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Nothing particularly exciting in my little corner of strange musical tastes so far this year. Been slowwwwwwwww. I'm more of a winter album guy anyway, so here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Earl is probably the only real talent that came out of OFWGKTA. Tyler is okay, but his recent releases haven't touched on his originals. Frank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Frank? Meh. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Earl is the most skilled rapper from OF but apart from the debut mixtape, he hasn't really delivered a consistently good record so far IMO. Neither has Tyler but at least his first three concept albums were more intriguing and fun to listen to. Speaking of Frank, I hope he releases at least something this year. He teased a summer album and then nothing happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distinctlydustin Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I listen to a lot of different music. It's been a good year. However, this has been the year of the reissue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 As an example of how slow this year has been, the threads about black paper sleeves for Brand New records are two of the busiest on the main board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 That's because (most of) the people obsessed with Brand New are pretty much oblivious to 2015 releases worth listening to. WAXXX, funtitled and Eliminator Jr. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
