found home in 2009 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hard to compare the stuff that's out recently with albums that have been out for a while, as you've not had as much time to live with them. From the last few weeks really enjoying Joy Oladokum and Bachelor. From earlier in the year For Those I Love and Black Country, New Road were real stand outs. It had a few weak tracks so wont be my album of the year, but really thought the first Weezer album of the year had some great tracks that might end up in my song of the year list.

Not had a record hit me like that in such a long time. Yep can't listen to it too often as it's so intense but definitely the album so far that stopped me in my tracks and made me listen. No other album has had a reaction like it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexIndie Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Its been a good year so far, tough to narrow it down. I've gone for a top 5 at this stage: Wolf Alice, Glasvegas, Black County New Road, Shame and Maximo Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 For Those I Love Anna B Savage Black Country, New Road I reckon those first 2 are the standouts and will definitely make the final AOTY list. The third slot could've been taken by a lot of other albums, which isn't a slight against BC,NR, its just been a strong year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalschools.price Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Amazing looking at all of the albums on this thread yet you still get people saying that there’s no good music any more and ‘they don’t make music like they used to’ They just haven’t even tried listening to anything from this year!!! This is my number 1 pet hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my number 1 pet hate You have to have the time to dedicate to listening and discovering (and going to gigs and festivals) which, once people get into their mid 30s and have kids / careers they no longer have (as) much of. Which i think plays a big part. its not an excuse and if you want to make time you will, but most just dont.

Fair point but why don’t they just say ‘I haven’t had a chance listen to any new stuff lately’ rather than ‘there’s no good new music anymore’?
