What's the most recent album that you'd give a 10/10 to?

yeah I guess it’s a matter of taste. The S/T album sounds like unfinished demos. Very sleepy. droney, slow, that most of the tracks don’t really go anywhere for me.

Here’s how I rank their releases:

  1. Exquisite Corpse
  2. The Fool
  3. Heads Up
  4. No Way Out / I’ll Start Believing
  5. Warpaint

Thanks for the info. Will have to investigate. Such a shame about river empires. Im sure i read they had a 7 album plan in place…

Braids – Deep in the Iris.

Has it all: brilliant jazzy/technical drumming; songs that get me all emotional, a feminist manifesto as a song intro…

Oof this is hard. Going back through my album of each year playlists, but sure I’ve missed stuff off those.

Anderson. Paak - Malibu
Todd Terje - It’s Album Time
Destroyer - Kaputt (I know this is about 6 years old now :astonished:)

Sufjan Stevens (Carrie & Lowell), Deerhunter (Fading Frontier), Julie Byrne (Not Even Happiness) & Julia Holter (HYIMW) all come very very close.

This is very close to a 10, aye. Might well be, but probably needs a year to have passed for the dust to have settled.

The latest Menzingers record I reckon.

Thanks for this. I’e been listening to the Sunk Oil Moon album over the last week and it’s sublime.

Blind by Swans is one of my all time favourite songs and I can’t help but hear it in a completely different context now

D’Angelo & the Vanguard - Black Messiah
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
The Antlers - Burst Apart
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
John Maus - We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves

I haven’t listened to this in a while, but the main track (was it a single?) Miniskirt is amazing. I don’t usually pay that much attention to lyrics, but they are important here.

Yeah that one grabbed me right away for the same reason. Pretty damn striking
