2notepockets Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Coming up to half way through 2017 what music's been floating your boat? What have been your favourite tracks and albums released this year? What stuff have you slept on from previous years and just got into? What have you revisited and found a new appreciation for? What albums are you looking forward to? Looking through my collection I need some new stuff to check out I have only purchased 3 albums released this year: Pallbearer - Heartless Yith - Dread Pillorian - Obsidian Arc I have gotten back into Earth in a big way mainly the Angels of Darkness... I & II albums, as well as The Bees made Honey... these have been on high rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked their doomy moments more that the faster passages. Checked out the Slowdive, a lot of people seem to love it. Will have to give it some more time thought Sugar For The Pill was the standout track, overall I was probably hoping for Souvlaki II but it sounds a lot less lush and a little more depressive on first listen. certainly worth a repeated listen though...

Shitty Rambo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Been a pretty lackluster year. Sorority Noise - YNA_... Backwordz - Veracity The new Pictures of Vernon EP is pretty good, John from Dads put out a solo demo tape via 6131 that ain't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfortunepa Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So far I have been really liking these albums: Black Lips - Satan's Graffiti or God's Art? Cory Branan - Adios Crusades - This Is a Sickness and Sickness Will End Drab Majesty - The Demonstration Incendiary - Thousand Mile Stare Iron Reagan - Crossover Ministry Power Trip - Nightmare Logic Slowdive - Slowdive Western Addiction - Tremulous These singles and EPs were pretty good too: Crisis Man - Crisis Man Gouge Away - Shallow / Sweat Search - Between the Lines I liked those first two Portugal. The Man singles, but still need to hear the entire album before I add it to the list. The new Cock Sparrer album will likely be up there after a few more listens too. The stuff I slept on last year that I got into a lot more this year are: Burn - ...From the Ashes Gouge Away - , Dies Praise - Leave It All Behind I can thank Paint It Black for that. That Gouge Away album is such a ripper and the other two EPs grew on me even more this year. I am looking forward the new Boris and Burn albums. I wasn't amazed by that first Boris track that was released but still have high hopes for the album. The biggest disappointment so far for me was the new At the Drive-In album. It hasn't really stuck for me and find myself zoning out through most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjplaysdrums Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So far for me (no order in particular) Free Throw - Bear Your Mind Origami Angel - Quiet Hours EP Dryjacket - For Posterity (actually this is my favorite of the year currently) Sorority Noise - Your're Not As ____ As You Think Pet Symmetry - Vision Macseal - Yeah, No, I Know EP Excited for: Perspective, a Lovely Hand to Hold - What Not to Do McCafferty - Thanks. Sorry. Sure. EP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Best so far: The xx Julie Byrne Sampha Jens Lekman Father John Misty Mount Eerie (okay, objectively beautiful and amazing, but so incredibly sad that I cannot ever listen again) Most excited for: HAIM Fleet Foxes Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit The Wrens* (no idea if their album will come out this year. I mostly just hope for it every year) mesi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshiram Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Man I've really been slacking in my metal albums this year, I really need to get into Pallbearer and Elder and I need to here the new All Them Witches. I've really only been listening to Hip-Hop this year, my favorites are: Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. Big Sean - I Decided Joey Bada$$ - ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog All the singles Frank Ocean has dropped this year, specifically Chanel Run The Jewels - RTJ3 (AOTY) Disappointments: Thundercat - Drunk Mastodon - Emperor of Sand (actually not horrible, but Show Yourself is just such a horrible song) Gorillaz - Humanz I'm just patently waiting for June 23rd for the New Vince Staples record, probably my most anticipated release this year. Also anticipating the new Sleep album and I heard we're getting a new Corrosion of Conformity record with Pepper back in the band, so I'm excited for that. Best shows: Coheed And Cambria at the Observatory Vince Staples at the Observatory Thursday w/Touché Amoré at the Wiltern Sleep at the Fonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked doomier UxTx you should definitely check out their side-project Serpentine Path with the bassist from Electric Wizard/Ramesses. However you can stream this new album here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 AOTY so far: Full of Hell - Trumpeting Ecstasy Most excited for: Converge (They haven't said 2017, but they were recording it a month or two ago....so hopefully a Fall/Winter release. My biggest disappointment is that I don't even care that TWIABP are probably putting out LP3 this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
