| There's been plenty of good albums so far this year, what have you been enjoying so far? I think the album I've listened to the most this year has been PUP - Morbid Stuff. |

| So far my favorite record from this year has been The Novembers' Angels. It's nice to see a Noisy Shoegaze Japanese band move onto a different playing field of genres (and that being a lot of genres) and it ending up as good/even better than their traditional work. Sadly the album has fallen off with the RYM Community as time has passed meanwhile other releases get overhyped to heck yet they simply can't beat Angels for me. Close To Me from the record is a gud tune fam, probs my fave song of this year. Also I have a list comprising of other 2019 records I thought highly of (it will change as we progress further into 2019) https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Aidoru_Ojisan/2019-so-far/ |

Close To Me from the record is a gud tune fam, probs my fave song of this year. I've been meaning to listen to that album, I caught the first track and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll give it another listen soon. If you're into noise rock and shoegaze, have you heard Elizabeth Colour Wheel - Nocebo? It came out early this year, similar to Angels it's kind of been quickly forgotten by RYM. I'm not sure how I forgot about it when I first made this post but it's quite possibly my favourite album this year so far. Excellent dark, heavy and anxious-sounding noise rock with these odd nasally female vocals that I can't get enough of. 23 off this album is amazing. |

| @HohoVFX Oof that overall rating shows me that RYM has kind have been turning its head on it but remembering how Angels used to be a 3.6 and now fell to a 3.3 I can't really trust RYM's taste anymore for this year's releases kek. Anyways yeah I'll check it out since Noisy Shoegaze that has a weighty sound is always a nice listen for me. There's another album similar to its genre field with a female vocalist (it's just more drony and atmospheric) https://bigbravesl.bandcamp.com/album/a-gaze-among-them it's pretty great, worth the time and it's their first release by them that I ended up giving a 4. Funnily enough despite some albums from this year going beyond the 1k of all time ratings on the RYM charts I have had no 4.5 from this year so far. Lol hype culture is scary sometimes seeing as how time passes some of these records fall off and return to more resonable rankings. |

| It had a 3.6 or something pretty good for the first 100 or so ratings but inevitably fell off. But yeah like you said rym's taste can be pretty fucking lame. Also I definitely feel you on not really loving anything yet this year. There's been some stuff I've enjoyed but nothing that's really excited me. feelsbadman.

Still *insert Fantano positive reviews are the reason why releases get so hyped scored on RYM meme here* kek |

Yeah I feel similarly about Igor I just find the circlejerk around it annoying. I don't really care for the Jai Paul compilation either but I see why the context behind it makes it significant to people. I'm disappointed to see Everywhere At The End of Time slowly losing it's very high score though because I really think it deserves it. It's not a project that I plan on going back to any time soon but I can't think of much other music that is as powerful and haunting in the way that EATEOT is. |
| i'm still waiting for a good dream pop album this year |
| Tie between Devin Townsend's Empath and Rammstein's latest. |
| [Favorite] Possessed - Revelations of Oblivion is thus far looking to be the metal release of the year. A phenomenal record from a band that wouldn't release new material for over 30+ years. [Most Hated] Bad Religion - Age of Unreason. Painfully dreadful, one-dimensional political drivel married to weakly constructed punk rock tunes. Where previous efforts from this aging band eventually grew on me, this one just seems to get worse and worse with repeated listen. |
| Definitely 'When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light' by Swallow The Sun. A very very close second is 'Panihida' by Batushka (Derph's one, to be precise). Both are stellar albums, and it'll be tough to beat them. Let's see. |
| Eh, it's only few weeks away from hitting 2019, but I would most definitely say this album has hit me right in the spot, or rather, this track in particular; https://baojiaxiang.bandcamp.com/track/the-recurrence-of-infections I have listened to a lot of albums this year and it's hard to narrow it all down to one, but this one stood out the most for me thus far and possibly will remain an all-time favorite of mine. Michael Begg's "Vanitas", Francisco López & Miguel A. García's "Ekkert Nafn", Meitei's "Komachi", Tape Loop Orchestra's "Interiors One", S280F's "ALL DOGS GO TO HELL /1 ه҈҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉҉ه", Felix Kubin's "Max Brand Studie IV / Topia", irr.app.(ext)'s "A Transfigured System" are some honorable mentions for THIS year. |

| It's gotten to the point where existence itself has become nothing but a meme; an existence that I want nothing to do with anymore. |
| Widow's Weeds by Silversun Pickups is my favorite new album this year. Though it's only June so we'll see if that holds through the year. |
| Bring Me the Horizon - amo They're trying a different style in this album and it's great |
 |
| Definitely UnderTheWillowTree by Bones. He brings out some real emotion this album. |
| Escape from New York by Beast Coast |
| U.F.O.F - Big Thief IGOR - Tyler, the Creator Morbid Stuff - Pup WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? - Billie Eilish thats about all i can name that i've enjoyed this year. now that i think about it 2018 had a lot more good albums dropping, this year seems pretty lame, i wonder whats up with that. |
| My favorite albums so far have been "Doom Days" by Bastille, that came out a couple of days ago, "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" by Logic and "Adeus, Aurora" by Supercombo, a brazilian rock band. |

All those are pretty good, especially morbid stuff. I wouldn't say that this year is much different to previous years in terms of good music though, we're only halfway through anyway and most of the massively hyped albums usually release later in the year. Maybe you just need to look a bit deeper. |
| Die a Legend - Polo G Pretty lacklustre year so far tbh but die a legend slaps really hard especially considering its his first album |
| Just want to add to this thread that the new black midi album, Schlagenheim, is fantastic. |
| Artificial Selection by Dance Gavin Dance. I was lucky enough to see them in concert shortly after the album dropped so I got to hear a lot of my favorites live. |
  |
Tyler, The Creator's Igor. I've been listening to it every day since it was released. Heck, I'm listening to it whilst I'm typing this post. Golly, this album is so beautiful. I'm crying 'cause I hope I can make music as splendid as he did. I am nothing but inspired  |
I'm glad that more people are coming to appreciate the Hip Hop culture more. Tyler's IGOR Jay Prince's "Wonder" EP Freddie Gibbs & Madlib's "Bandana" Denzel Curry's "ZUU" James Blake's "Assume for" Solange's "When I get home" Duckwrth's "THE FALLING MAN" EP These come in mind for me first |
