meet me back here when saturation 2 drops, qwertyy

I'm looking forward to checking out several of the albums you guys have listed!

Here's my top 10 so far....

10. Richard Dawson - Peasant (Avant-Folk, Progressive Folk)

My favorite of his so far.

09. Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up (Chamber Folk, Progressive Folk)

Was so happy to hear a new one from them.

08. Exquirla - Para quienes aún viven (Post-Rock, Flamenco nuevo)

Their debut.

07. Flotation Toy Warning - The Machine That Made Us (Chamber Pop, Indie Pop)

This is great, though I like their first one a tad bit more.

06. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Murder of the Universe (Psychedelic Rock, Spoken Word)

Their best so far, in my opinion.

05. Nova Collective - The Further Side (Progressive Metal, Jazz Fusion)

Their debut, at least working together.

04. Mike Oldfield - Return to Ommadawn (Progressive Rock)

This and the original are D&D music.

03. Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell Live (Art Pop, Indie Folk, Singer/Songwriter)

This would be my AOTY except for two reasons: (a) it's a live album of what is probably for me the 2015 AOTY, and (b) "Hotline Bling".

02. Ayreon - The Source (Progressive Metal, Rock Opera)

Epic. What I love most about this is that they take the robot with them!

01. Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly & James McAlister - Planetarium (Art Pop, Ambient Pop, Indietronica)

Love everything about this.

Billy Woods never left faggots. Could be my fave hip hop release so far.

Hells yes my man. Been on heavy rotation since it came out, probably his strongest solo work since History.

Quote:

Shed tears like I lost my connect when she sat
Me down for that heart-to-heart that started with: "Where do I start"
Not my first rodeo, we can skip this part do not pass go
Go straight to the bar desk drawer fulla Uno cards
Voodoo dolls, Gaza's "King-beyond-the-wall"
Nameless with a thousand faces, job description;
Be not where the missiles fall

Jonwayne - Rap Album Two

Consider me on the Billy Woods hype train. Excellent release.

This track is just...unnnghhhhh so good.
