Maybe if I do my special dance again I can summon the almighty Batlord to this thread and have him aid me in my quest to hurt the butts of the Ye Olde Hipsterdom.

Turns out though I meet the apparent cutoff that validates my opinion. I'd hate to know what he would've said about me if my playcount was lower like <100 or something

Well first off, I don't take anybody's opinion that seriously. I'm not going to cry over somebody not liking an album I like. It won't change my opinion. I'm interested in other opinions and perspectives, and I'd think people would be interested in mine too.

I do think the reasoning behind your statement is retarded. You won't take somebodies list seriously if they put a really good album at number one because you don't think it's number one. So if they put a really ****ty album at number one you'd respect it more because it's not following a trend? Do you hate people that **** in toilets too? Are toilets too mainstream?

Plus, I'm not really too into giving a **** what popular opinion is. I put Kendrick there because I liked that album. Don't really care if everybody loves or hates it, I loved it. But that Tetsuo & Youth, man. That was a great album. Front to back, nothing I ever skip.

Also, why is Frownland even a mod when all he seems to do lately is pick on Yorke Daddy? Is this your avante garde version of moderating?

People take things way too seriously here on these forums. Anteater is talking about the casual fan who calls TPAB GOAT because the internet tells them to. Maybe it was put in a way that made it sound like you or others on this forum were the subject of the statement, but I do not think you or anyone else on this forum were the subject of the statement.

I know he wasn't talking about me, I didn't put it at number one, but what he said is just dumb no matter what the intent was. He literally said that he can't take a list seriously for having TPAB at the top because it's too trendy. Even then, how can you decide who's doing it to follow a trend and who genuinely likes it? Maybe the only reason he didn't put TPAB at the top is because he's joining the trend of going against trends intentionally. But deep down it really was his favorite album of the year, he just can't admit because it's too trendy. But Yorke has him beat. Yorke put TPAB to join the trend of going against trends intentionally as he goes against the trend of going against a trend by joining the trend of adding TPAB at the top of the list. That is a hipsterception.

09. Shamir - Ratchet
08. Passion Pit - Kindred
07. Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
06. Dan Deacon - Gliss Riffer

04. Of Monsters and Men - Beneath the Skin
03. Ezra Furman - Perpetual Motion People
02. Purity Ring - Another Eternity
01. Marina and the Diamonds - Froot

I'd also like to add my Biggest Disappointments of 2015:

Yawn...you guys weren't even the subject of the statement. I've seen dozens of lists across the Internet already that have TPAB at #1 for reasons that have nothing to do with the adventurous musical side of it. There was nothing dumb about what I said: I question any list that puts an album like that at number one for reasons I have already mentioned. I didn't embellish my original statement to protect the feelings of every little pretty princess that could be butthurt, but The Identity Matrix got it and he saw me posting for the first time like two days ago. What does that say about the rest of you?

YorkeDaddy · 12-08-2015, 08:51 AM

Obviously Lucem and I just don't quite meet up to the mighty Anteater's lofty intellectual standards

Ninetales · 12-08-2015, 09:12 AM

I honestly haven't listened to many 2015 albums the last half of this year so I'm behind as hell but this is maybe 10 albums I've really liked a lot in no real order

The Ark Work by Liturgy
Just for a Thrill by Fabio Orsi
Folk by Nick Hoppner
Dumb Flesh by Blanck Mass
Olympic Mess by Helm
EMOTION by Carly Rae Jepsen
All Fours by Bosse de Nage
Imagine the Future by ASC
Umbras de Barbagia by Downfall of Nur
Today, I Wrote Nothing by Billy Woods

throw some recs if you wish. A few hip hop albums that just slipped out of this 10, but wouldn't mind hearing what else the genre has to offer from this year.
