I need to get to listening to some more 2012 releases again, my autism doesn't allow me to share opinions until I've listened at least three times to the album (in most cases at least).

POST THAT SHIT PEOPLE. OPINIONS AND STUFF!

OH SHIT I FORGOT MY WIFE'S NEWEST SINGLE IDK HOW

St. Vincent - Krokodil (<3 FUTURE WAIFU MATERIAL/10)

I dont think Ive even listened to 10 albums this year but Ill give it a shot.

1. Death Grips - The Money store(shit is hype)
2. Ab-Soul - Control System(so cash)
3. Action Bronson - Blue Chips(Dat NY flow)
4. BIG Krit - 4evaNaDay(production on point, 4EVANADAYDAYDAYDAYDAYDAYDAYDAY)
5. BADBADNOTGOOD -BBNG2(Dem Instrumentals)
6. OC & Apollo Brown -Trophies(Apollo Brown beats :0 )
7. BIG Krit - Live From the Underground(Good, but Krit is better than every producer on this album, he should produce it himself)
8. Reks - Straight, No Chaser(Not even close to Rhymatic Eternal King Supreme, but decent)
9. Logic - Young Sinatra:Undeniable(Had some good songs, but there are like 4 TERRIBLE songs on here)
10. Killer Mike- R.A.P. Music(I hate EL-P's beats. Some are nice but meh. Killer Mike goes in though)

9001. Odd Future- Odd Future Vol. 2

I spent May just listening to old school rap.
Wu tang and all the solo albums (Liquid Swords>Built 4 Cuban Linx)
Illmatic(seriously listened to Illmatic at least once through every day for the last two weeks. Best rap album ever imo)
Biggies Albums(Ready to Die+Life After Death> Every Tupac album)
Outkast(Andre 3000 most underrated MC ever. Andre>Em free)
Bone Thugs (shocked that after 7 years of not listening to them, I still know the lyrics to all but 3 songs on E 1999 Eternal)

When Darkspace IV comes out, I'll add it to this thread. That album, knowing Darkspace, should be awesome.

For already released albums, I really like Bereft's debut album Leichenhaus
Here's a sample:

Haven't listened to any albums from this year I think. I did want to check out the First Aid Kit, so thanks for reminding me. Might have to give Spiritualized a listen too Songs in A&E was good and Ladies and Gentlemen... was mind blowing.

Wow kid ur so white poser lmao

The only ones worth mentioning are

Hop Madness--Hopsin
Slaughterhouse--Welcome to our House

both of which haven't come out yet.

The only band I know from that list was Tramp. Anyway, I really like the the new Smashing Pumpkins album: Oceania.

Oh it's rap music you're listening to. I listened to Death Grips and it was absolutely terrible. I will never understand how someone can listen to rap music.

Tramp was an album, not a band.

Shit taste general. Death Grips was the only "rap" album on my list though.

You know people have different tastes and preferences than your clearly close minded ones right?

ALSO #NEW #RARE #BASED ALBUM CHARTS WITH 500% MORE AESTHETICS

It's mainly based on ratings from my RYM which are of course, guaranteed to change. The empty spaces are intentionally there.

Well I enjoy a variety of music. I don't consider rap/hip hop music.

Perhaps once you stop being ignorant....

Brando1788 wrote:

As you can see here, you clearly refer to rap as music.

Brando1788 wrote:

But, you proceed to contradict yourself and make yourself look like a full on retard. Also, you have a Master of Puppets avatar. Tell me, are you a real metalhead or just some little kid that only listens to the Big 4?

Just the big 4 mostly champ. Not a metalhead but I like some other stuff (Iron Maiden, Disturbed...) Also, I think you're taking my last post too seriously. I am obviously aware rap is considered music. In my opinion it takes absolutely no skill or musical talent to create rap. Honestly someone like Justin Bieber or the Jonas Brothres have more talent than rappes like Eminem or Lil' Wayne

Brando1788 wrote:

Yep, you have poor taste in music. Also, if you only know of rappers like Lil Wayne and Eminem, you can't jump to conclusions. There are WAAAAAAYYYY more rappers. Stop being ignorant.

Brando1788 wrote:
I find it upsetting that people actually believe this, Eminem and Lil Wayne have released more, far better music than whatever radio single you heard from them last year.

You should actually listen to music before you criticize it, also if you think talent = automatically good music you're sadly mistaken.

I'm going to keep it simple with a top 3...

1. Hospitality 2012 (Obviously)
2. Netsky 2
3. Isles of Wonder (That one track :O )

Rap Music best music ever of all time. Deal with it.

Anyways, there has been a couple of albums that are new in my top 10, the Frank Ocean(for now), the Aesop Rock, Joey Badass, and probably the new Elzhi if it comes out in 2012. Dat Blue Widow single from him is dope. Ill probably check out a few from Nolans list too. Ive heard good things about the japandroids and Ill try out a couple of more from Nolans list.

Rap is shit, this generation has gone to shit.

tumps up if u wer born in wrong generation lady gaga sucks lol rock on

Rap deepest music and best music, deal with it son. This generation knows whats up with music.

I really liked the japandroids album, just good ole rock. So it says that the seer isnt out yet, did it leak? If so is it the super huge one that is 2 parts of 107 mbs each?

all of my friends listen 2 shitty pop music and (c)rap, thumbs if ur one of the 2% who still listen to real music m/

dont let le spirit of real rock die

Actually when you made the post saying you'd heard good things about Japandroids I wanted to say what I always do about how it's "just a good, simple, fun rock n' roll record".

And yes, The Seer is the big one, just under two hours long in length. It's unsure whether or not the leaked copy is actually mastered but either way it's fucking excellent, in my opinion it's second only to their 2 hour, 20 minute epic album Soundtracks for the Blind.

Really? You haven't noticed the steady decrease in people enjoying rap? Rap is dead man. Soon dubstep and hip-hop will fallow.
