My Philosophy: I love music. I love all kinds of music. And I go into every album wanting to love it, so that’s my starting point for every review. Keep in mind, though, that music is a very personal thing. An album may hit me personally in a very different way than it hits you. That’s complexly natural and unavoidable, which is why I try to include some personal context in my reviews. It’s so you’ll have a better idea where I’m coming from. In the end, it’s still just my personal opinion, which is inherently biased, and which you may or may not agree with. Hopefully, once in a while, we’ll find common ground.

I enjoy these year end top album reviews. I was not familiar with any of these choices but I try to be aware of new artists.
Great Video! Quite a different list from me, here’s my top 5: https://youtu.be/VYub8AzTFOA
Dude you’re getting pretty big pretty fast that’s awesme
Thoughts on St. Vincent? Also, Sylvan Esso. A lot of lists forgo indie, but I view these artists as some of the best this year.
This channel is so great.
NO Wolf Alice?? Liam Gallagher?? Noel Gallagher?? Shed Seven??
Great to see Ryan Adams and Conor Oberst albums on the list. I agree that the salutation album is better with the full band. I saw Ryan in concert this year in Sydney and he really rocked and showed what a great guitarist he is. I thought the Styx album “The Mission” was outstanding, and also Ray Davies and the Jayhawks album “Americana” was really good also. The new Steve Earle album “So you wannabe an outlaw” was another good one

Papa Roach – Crooked Teeth
Phanthom 5 – Play To Win
Styx – The Mission
The Darkness – Pinewood Smile
The Rasmus – Dark Matters
Thunder – Rip It Up
You Me At Six – Night People
The bent shelves are making my head spin, lol
Please reply to me recommending some albums I may have missed. I want more music too
One more thing. I wonder if electronic dance music is your thing or not because since rap isn’t for everything I feel like EDM may not be for you either. What are your thoughts ?
Your year end list is similar to mine. Subscribed for future recommendations
Great list, I love Ryan Adams and Conor Oberst too, some of my other favorites are The Magnetic Fields – 50 Song Memoir, Momus – Pillycock, and Robyn Hitchcock’s self-titled
Album- Scum Fuck Flower Boy
Its beautiful af (as fuck)
Track “Who dat boy” is a really rap track……..i dont think you’ll like that track
