I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

Personally, I'm loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

All for When (2020) - Anthony Kos

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Here's a few I've enjoyed in recent memory:

  • Koyo - Would You Miss It?
  • Militarie Gun - Life Under The Gun
  • Tigers Jaw - I Won't Care How You Remember Me
  • Yard Act - Where's My Utopia?
  • Vacation Manor - Vacation Manor
  • Hotline TNT - Cartwheel

The Koyo album is great if you like punk/hardcore/emo, same with the Militarie Gun one. Tigers Jaw has been one of my favorites for a while, and this album is one of their best imo; great band if you like indie rock/emo. Yard Act's a British rock band with post-punk influences, you might like them if you enjoy that signature dry British humor in combination with some social commentary. Vacation Manor is a more laid-back indie rock band with more classic Americana/Springsteen influences, I can't recommend them enough for people who have a sweet spot for classic rock. Lastly, Hotline TNT's album is worth a listen for people who enjoy shoegaze and indie rock, they have a really great DIY sound with just enough polish to tie the album together and keep it accessible. The 2020's have been a damn good year for music, at least as far as the bands I've been keeping up with.

Edit: added Tigers Jaw, I couldn't leave them out

Militarie Gun & Koyo are killing it. I would like to add Fleshwater's We're Not Here to Be Loved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Ooh that was a solid one too, good catch. Can't wait to see what else they have in store

the album Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa is a masterpiece in pop. I don’t think she’s release anything quite up to that standard since (not that she’s released much).

KOAN Sound - Led By Ancient Light definitely tops my list.

And a couple of King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard albums, but I've seen them mentioned already! I'm sure there are probably some more that I'm blanking on right now - I'll check my music library and edit this if I think of some more!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago
  • Ensiferum - Thalassic
  • In Extremo - Kompass zur Sonne

Both from 2020 exactly, and amazing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

My fav album of the 2020's would probably be Saviors by Green day. I however dont look at the release date of the album Im currently listening too often so It gets pretty hard to make a good list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's singles, but:

-【Ado】 唱 (show) -【Ado】 New Genesis - 新時代

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Listen to Ado’s Utattemita Album, it is all covers but they are all amazing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I know them all, she's my favorite musical artist. 可愛くてごめん (kawaikute gomen) is my favorite of those, I'd say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think 愛して愛して愛して (Aishite Aishite Aishite) was really good, her cover of unravel is also solid. I liked it better than the original.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A fellow connoisseur! I and a friend we're looking to get tickets for the world tour, sadly, it seemed they were sold instantly.

If I could figure out how to follow people on Lemmy with jerboa, you'd be the first.

Amigo the Devil- yours until the war is over

Thanks for letting know about this. Last album I knew he dropped was Born Against. I'll definitely look into this. I saw him open for Drokkick Murphy's. It was a great show.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I pretty regularly pick up new music.

Fun machine

https://batboymusic.bandcamp.com/album/fun-machine

I guess this is pop punk rock? It has a lot of lines in it I think about a lot. "Ask me again how it's going even though you know it isn't going anywhere". "I don't want you to romanticize falling the fuck apart".

The dark path to the light

https://wolvennest.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-path-to-the-light

This is some good witchy shit. The last track is so menacing I love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I tried to get into the full album, but “Decoder Ring” is the only track off Fun Machine that really does it for me. That said, I listen to it just about daily

Kimono Drag Queens are such a good band. Criminally underrated rated.
