Albums of 2022

[Mickey]

Music just ain't what it used to be.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I don't listen to music anymore.

[Jorge]

As good a year as any, IMO

[liebzz]

Even just from artists I already knew I could make a rather solid top 10 already.

if it weren't for your post months ago, i'm not sure i'd have found Jake Xerxes Fussell.

that's been a good one from this year.

[Rangi Guy]

Been listening a fair bit to Texas Moon an EP by Khruangbin & Leon Bridges - Pretty good


Especially dig the last track on here - Mariella. Love the guitar tone

[LetMeSleep]

And Texas Sun was great too.

Good shit, rangi.

i've been listening to Bummer Year by Good Looks virtually non-stop the last couple of days.

solid 90s alt-rock vibes.

Glad someone else is finally acknowledging this record.

it's so fucking good. i checked their Bandcamp page to see if they had anything else, and i found out they're playing some random venue in eastern Oklahoma.

too bad it's on a weekday, so i won't be able to make it out to see them.

talk about a real bummer year.

[psychobain]

my top 7 so far

i would like to add a couple more:

spoon - lucifer on the sofa
porcupine tree - closure/continuation
fontaines d.c. - skinty fia
foals - life is yours
porridge radio - waterslide, diving board, ladder to the sky
metric - formentera
gang of youths - angel in realtime
arcade fire - we
wilco - cruel country
perfume genius - ugly season
stars - from capelton hill
placebo - never let me go
spiritualized - everything was beautiful

[psychobain]

I thought the Porcupine Tree album was a little patchy. Probably just personal preference, but a number of songs seem to meander needlessly before kicking off. That kind of song structure isn't new for PT, but they've executed it better in the past. It's a great sounding album, though. The production is immense.

7 track or 10 track version?
i prefer the expanded one
not their best work for sure, but i really liked it, it sounds so good

[Ello Sailor]

This chorus is pummelling me. Emily Haines is unreal.

I think I listened to that new Metric albums a good half a dozen times last week

[Ello Sailor]

New Clutch drops 16th Sept. Hopefully the bops slap just as hard as the album cover.
