2019 Albums You're Digging

Blarobbarg · 07-23-2019, 09:42 PM

I'm way too busy to be posting much these days but I just wanted to pop in and say

The new Tomb Mold album ****s me up. They had my AOTY last year, and though I doubt that I'll fall in love with this one as much, it's still great.

1000gecs is one of the most baffling pieces of audio I've ever had the displeasure to listen to and I'm beginning to fall in love with it.

The new Lingua Ignota (Mondo just posted it) is gorgeously wretched and deeply painful. It's operatic and terrifying and will probably end up in my top 5.\ of the year.

Nothing has topped Tyler, the Creator's "Igor" in its emotional vulnerability and life-shaping power. It is right now my AOTY and I can't imagine dropping it down any time soon. I'll be listening to this for years to come.

There's more albums this year that I've liked but it's hard to keep up with it all meaningfully.

****, I didn't know this thread was a thing. Is this where the cool kids are?

HEALTH - VOL. 4 :: SLAVES OF FEAR

Tight, short compositions. Abrasive, melodic hard rock stylings. Vocals that defy expectations. I'd say it's their most consistent album yet.

**Frownland** · 07-25-2019, 12:55 AM

lol, cool kids on MB.

Loving the new Wreck and Reference album, Absolute Still Life. Sturdy Dawn is one of, if not their best, track.

Mondo Bungle · 07-25-2019, 01:50 AM

best of the halfway point

Deathspell Omega - The Furnaces of Palingenesia
Waste of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis
Departure Chandelier - Antichrist Rise to Power
kitty - ROSE GOLD
Drastus - La Croix Sang
black midi - Schlagenheim
LINGUA IGNOTA - Caligula
Sote - Parallel Persia
Flying Lotus - Flamagra

Pitchfork gave it a really bad review. I got it cued up though.

Same reviewer also gave the new Holly Herndon an 8.2 so it's safe to say I have differing tastes.

If something gets a good review on pitchfork I consider a good sign but their bad reviews don’t carry much weight with me. I also think records that score under 4 are likely to be better than records ranked between 5-7.

HEALTH has just been an alright band to me, but I remember this album being a bit more enjoyable than the others.
