Little Simz is also based

Yes? So? It's done well and better than any actual 70s radio pop album.

I'm sorry you were brainwashed to take monkey noises seriously.

>Rylan debuted as 10th top single of the Year

that still doesn’t disprove my point

Sure based for white self-hating bollege students

The absolute state of 2019

>the only rock album in top 10 is sludge metal side project of Oranssi Pazuzu members
The absolute state of rock music

Imagine listening to Art Pop
Yep, Cringe.

My top 5 plus what i’ve Heard up there.

Titanic Rising - 5.5/10, trite stifling pop in the vein of the overrated carpenters

Grey Area - 9.5/10, emotionally resonate lyrics that can cross racial and gender lines with a delivery to spitfire them right at you. The beats are fantastic and varied with top of the line producing.
AOTYSF

Igor - 9.25/10, cathartic lyrical heartbreak and resentment of the heartbreaker accompanied by production that draws primarily from all eras of Kanye put into an r&b blender.
2nd Best so far

Fishing for Fishies - 9.1/10, fantastically danceable rock music that is put through a Todd Rundgren filter with a few drops of ELO, ZZ Top, & T. rex for good measure. All while thematically focusing on the effect we are having on our planet with waste.
3rd best album of the year so far

Ventura - 9/10, Anderson Paak followed up his classic “Malibu” with the great, if less so, “Oxnard,” but here he delivers his closest thing to a masterwork so far. The r&b takes over from the previous albums rap focus, and gains plenty of attitude for it. Silky smooth, & gorgeous.
4th best so far

Plastic Annivsrsary - 9/10, Matmos takes us on another adventure. Except this time we’re injected with synthetic drugs, and experience a comic work of soundplay. Obnoxiously entertaining but requires a certain setting to fully appreciate.
Fifth best so far

Titanic Rising has zero success transmitting the overblown emotions through its 70's boring, predictable, unimaginative sound. Lyrics are subpar. Theme had potential, I see what the reviews are going for, but objectively it falls flat. 6/10 tops.

LMAOOO 9.1 for fishies what a clueless man

Metal is the only interesting kind of rock music still being made

What didn’t you like about it?
I’ll grant it’s not all out of the ballpark.
This Thing, Reals not Real, Acarine, & Plastic Boogie are all top tier King Gizz. Cyboogie maybe as well, it keeps growing on me.

King Gizzard is likely my favorite band (certainly is for contemporary ones) so my opinion of them may be inflated compared to your average joe.
Even their worst, Eyes like the Sky, is still a solid 7.75/10 imo.

KG is your favorite band... Well maybe that's why you have such shit taste. Or is it the other way around?

>zoomers
they listen to soundcloud and mumble rappers not lyrical jazz rap you clearly meant millennial wiggers

I think it has more to do with RYM's metal community inflating the rating of every metal release

imagine thinking everyone who dislikes weyes too much is a memerap faggot

Glad to see that RYM still has shit taste. Pic related is clearly the AOTY

this. I can barely stand this site anymore, you can tell many of the reviewers don't know shit about music, and yet they talk about it with so much hubris.

Perhaps you’ve yet to come to the realization that life is subjective experience.
Perhaps you’ve not yet realized the inherent meaninglessness of the universe and instead followed your own personal meaning in the world around you because you’ve yet to mature fully and experience life outside of high school.
Or your mothers basement, which hey, I’m not gonna hate on saving money while you can.

I know figuring out what others are thinking isn’t easy but being mindful that they don’t share the same experience as you is a good place to start.

fpbp

Good album, what's your favorite track? I liked Wax On, mainly because of the Freddie feature

This is what rating inflation looks like. If you're giving four 9+ reviews in the first half of the weakest year this decade in music, what do you do when an actually great album that you love comes out?

This post is absolutely fucking pathetic and you should be ashamed of yourself. Grow up and think about what you are saying.

listen to more music

an album is either 0 or 1, either it speaks to you or it doesn't, stop wasting your time with ratings

when a great album you love comes out, you forget about all this rating bullshit because you're too infatuated with the music

And then poptimists and rap fags downrate it after one listen
Rap fags are much more guilty of overrating albums than metalfags

>this person has ability to rate and review albums on RYM

>you can tell many of the reviewers don't know shit about music
none of them know shit about music apart from the ones who joined before 2015

also don't listen to users under the age of 20, and south americans (because south americans are the dumbest people on earth)

Yeah but theyre deweighted so who cares.

Who, who is he?

there are probably exceptions to the rule but they're so few and far-between that they aren't really worth mentioning

take for instance gugajacques who is one of the most unbearable users on the site, who is just one in a crowd of thousands of dumbshit south americans offering their dumbshit opinions

>Dedicated will be outperformed by Biebs
Neck yourself

Hot take: Carly Rae Jepsen only gets a pass on Yea Forums and RYM because she is now acceptably non-mainstream enough to like

That and I want to put my benis in her butt :D

oh god shut the fuck up i dont even care about your ratings just the way you talk

>non-mainstream enough to like
she gets a pass because people want to fuck her

>current year
>being ageist

if you're under 20 and are writing reviews on rym chances are you don't know shit about music

Haha you got so baited. But also, King Gizzard are awful. You should reconsider your own subjective experience, since it vastly inferior to everyone else's on this planet.

just what it is, underage anons. we were all that age and we were all dumb assholes at that age.

this

I wouldn't listen to 19 year old me for music recommendations

not really i had good taste at that age. had listened to more music and had better taste than 99.9% of the world already at that point. if theiyre young and interested in music it probably means its been their passion their whole life. rather than boomers who got into music in college or someshit.

>south americans (because south americans are the dumbest people on earth)
that's not how you spell africans

I have over 1000 albums rated on rym and only 8 5 stars.

yall inflate rating too much. the highest rated album from me this year is solange 4 stars. the last album to get 5 star was donuts.

nah south americans are way worse, they think their passion and fiery nature means that what they're about to say isn't complete horseshit

I honestly don't know a single african rymer (south africans don't count)

>has only 1000 ratings
>rated solange a 4

opinion well and truly discarded

is that supposed to be impressive? i have 4500 and 3 5s... and i know im not special. youre below average

why are you glad to see it

>shoegaze
>in 2019

yuck!

you also wouldn’t listen to your current you in 20 years

titanic rising is so shit

>benis in butt
that’s gay as fuck bro

I dunno I'd say my taste is alright now

coming away from Yea Forums for a while and actually learning about music through other means than the completely distorted lens of RYM helped me find a bunch of artists that weren't shit

Gotta be Jailbreak the Tesla, although I like most of them in different ways. Also all the features slaughtered it. A very fun listen all in all

Why even have 5s if you are not gonna give them

I have 30 out of 3000

Completely based and 100% right on every point.

I don't know if it says more about the state of music this first half of the year or the absolute state of the website

totally ripped off this cover, but surprised this actually is good. I'm going to check it out.

I know, it's bad. Hope you're not implying that makes this year a bad one for music because it's been really solid so far. The best are rarely in the top 10 on there.

What are some good albums from this year then

Clear AOTY for me

Depressing desu

Just like the majority of great albums that came out last year like Dead Magic or Safe in the Hands Of Love

i do use them for the best music. i rank shit based on tiers. not that many albums are absolutely close to perfect. the vast majority are average/ ok which i give 2.5. i have a pretty perfect bell curve so clearly im using a scale that utilizes all points

Ok so you are just autistic

90% of the time people ask this they're just eagerly waiting to call what's posted in response garbage so they can stay in the right in their mind, so I'm not going to bother. Just know it's very easy for you to go find good stuff from this year yourself.

Thanks for nothing faggot
From this year I only enjoyed new releases by Bjorn Riis, Waste of Space Orchestra, the Twilight Sad and These New Puritans

this
I feel like Three Man Weave was my favorite. It's so damn good

Disposable shit music for trannies and nothing more, please hope you don't like this shit

I understand using IMDB or whatever to rate movies but doing it on RYM makes no sense to me.
I watch movies all the way through but if an album's first 2-3 tracks aren't to my taste at all I'm not going to keep listening through the whole thing, so if I were to use the ratings on RYM I'd only ever be giving out 2.5/3 to 5 stars for anything. Why do you guys listen through albums you're hating (not that I can see your ratings but I assume you have plenty of albums rated on the lower side)? Just curious, not being critical or anything.

lmao did you get that from my share in the sharethread? I hope you're not posting it ironically, it's a really solid fucking rock album that doesn't make any actual references furfag shit afaik (even though the person/people behind it are confirmed furries).

correct rankings tyler should be number 1 though

holy shit this is just embarassing lol

fpbp

yeah it's been pretty shit so far this year.

>Why do you guys listen through albums you're hating
im interested to music to understand cultural movements and history and the broader scope of music not just for pleasure and entertainment. i imagine its the same for most people. i dont listen to music to like it. i listen to it to understand different form of human expression and different cultures and how it has manifested itself sonically.

There’s also a lot of trannies in the anime community that doesn’t mean that anime is gay

when will u fags grow up and move past ratings and scores

Cows on Hourglass Pond is #1

Cringe, pseud brainlets

>Thanks for nothing faggot
hes right though. try digging more for yourself, though the bjorn riis and twilight sad are solid enough.

>Why do you guys listen through albums you're hatin
the same reason you watch movies all the way through, retard

8 is too much. At most you should have 1 per 250.

Ideally you should have 15 five star albums, regardless of how many you have rated.

Had to try spotify once bc my phone sd card got borked. Top 50 lists shilled this nigga tyler so hard u could not have 10 minutes without hearing this shit for real

listened to all those, all pretty shitty
i thought rym had good opinions?

Just asking a question you chucklehead take a chill pill. I guess I just see movies as a single entity and an album as a collection (meant to be listened to in full outside of radio pop stuff ofc but still) that can be more freely tossed aside between tracks than a movie I'm halfway through.
Also I think shit movies are more interesting to stick with than shit music in almost all cases. And by shit movies I mean unique creations, not obviously shitty franchises like the MCU/DCEU ones which are obviously not worth starting in the first place. Shit music usually just sounds exactly the same as tons of other shit music, with interchangeable lyrics and sounds, while bad movies can be wildly different from other bad ones more often, and at least have things to analyze -- direction/cinematography/writing/acting/setting/effects/story -- that some generic alternative/indie album doesn't (or at least for someone like me who doesn't know much about the technical side of music production and can't be observed as easily as those above things are for movies).

>No Cows on Hourglass Pond
>No Girl With Basket of Fruit
>No Kevin Abstract

Yep, I'm thinking it's cringe

their top charts are always pretty shitty. idk what you are talking about.

theres a community of ppl actually interested in experimental, innovative, creative, intelligent music that are extremely influential and important but the top charts have always just reflected pop shit and pleb shit that normies (who have accounts but arent important within the rym community like)

arbitrary as fuck m8s

I'm pretty sure esoteric just sorts by what gets hardly any ratings, and RYM metalheads submit about 400 records every fuckin day for like 4 raters. The top 2019 charts around early January was about 70 pages of black metal.

>Titanic Rising
Solid
>Little Simz
Meh
>Tyler
Meh
>Injury Reserve
Solid debut
>Carly Rae Jepsen
Didn't listen

Yeah not that greatest start to 2019 in terms of RYM ratings. So far my favorite albums have been FOTB, Cows on Hourglass Pond and Flamagra.

there's a couple moroccan/arab ones

maybe you faggots shouldn't have 1 starred Nature Denatured and Found Again based on a single Bandcamp track sample and your dislike of avant-teens :^)

For me, it's 'A Gaze Among Them' by Canadian post-metal band, Big|Brave.

Just woke up. Since the thread is still alive.
What can I say
I love music.
I won’t apologize for that.
If you care to peruse what I’ve heard and suggest something, I’m all for it.
Otherwise check your ego at the door.
rateyourmusic.com/~decemberwyatt
I’m not deweighted
I have full weighting
Doesn’t make it not true
Just because what I’m saying is unfashionable for Yea Forums doesn’t mean it doesn’t pertain to how I feel about the music.
I made the most right before passing out so I didn’t have time to refine my brief reviews.
I’ve got a full review for the Matmos & KG&LW albums on my RYM if you care so much to shitpost about those
I know that the odds that post was b8 are pretty high so I tried to be some sardonic in my reply
Don’t take yourself too seriously

Grey Area is a pretty good album but it really doesn't deserve more praise than IGOR or IJ
if Fantano gave it a 7 it wouldn't be so high up

I like Titanic Rising but man this is the weakest year of the decade for music.

What do you think the strongest year was? I think somewhere around 2015-2017

nah, i thought maybe rym users are influenced by fantano but then i checked billie ellish's album, maybe rym isn't a shithole after all

I'd say 2012 or 2013. But that's just on a whim.
