An underrated AOTY contender imo is: Them Airs - Union Suit XL
I haven't listened to the new one, but they were my favorite band as a kid (29 now) but ever since diamond eyes its completely fallen flat and emotionless to me. But I've seen and heard good things about the new one so maybe its worth a try? We will see 👀
I love how with Oliver's recommendations you'll either go "ah fuck dude that's my favourite that none of my friends like!" or "I've never heard of this band or genre before in my life."
Exactly! I got so happy when I saw What We Drew and A Hero's Death and then really intrigued by the Intronaut record and Jeff Parker record. He always gives you something unexpected and I appreciate that.
That's my jam, I won't include Schnitzler because there is too much more 1)Schulze Moondawn or Timewind 2) Wolfgang Richman - Wunderbar 3) H Grosskopf - Synthesist 4)Hoenig Gottsching - Early water 5)Moebius ( 1978 same name record, not the Cluster / Kluster musician)
No folklore ,no evermore and no future nostalgia. are going to drop popular edition. i haven't heard anything from anyone on your list except punisher and Charlie.
Just one correction: Lido Pimienta's record is "Miss ColOmbia" like de south american country. Quiet a common error for english speakers. But like allways AWESOME video!

I’ve made it a mission to listen to all 25 of these. 5 albums into minimalism excites me as well, similarly a 5 albums into Japanese ambient could prove to be interesting. Thanks for your videos
Great list Oliver! Perfume Genius is a terrific pick for AOTY, Mike is probably my favorite songwriter working today! Here’s my list 10.) Yukika - Soul Lady 9.) Same Lee - Old Wow 8.) The Weeknd - After Hours 7.) Black Dresses - Peaceful As Hell 6.) Perfume Genius - SMHOFI 5.) Mac Miller - Circles 4.) Lianne La Havas - self-titled 3.) Fennec - Free Us Of This Feeling 2.) Matt Elliott - Farewell To All We Know 1.) Charli XCX - how i’m feeling now
1. Baxter Dury - The Night Chancers 2. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia 3. Yves Tumor - Heaven To A Tortured Mind My top 3 AOTY which also didn’t make your list. My no 1 pick definitely deserves more recognition!
Hey, Oliver, I don't know whether this has been asked before but I was genuinely curious how you keep up with new releases. As a music fan myself I always find myself gravitating towards older releases and struggle to listen to all the new music being released. Congratulations on the newfound resurgence of the channel as well :)
Great to see Magic Oneohtrix Point Never and even some Tokarczuk love. Finished Flights, absolutely loved it. Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is defiantly on my to-read list.
I'm so sick of Phoebe Bridgers. Incredibly overrated and as her album title explains a punisher of other better artists (look up definition if u don't know what it means). Now she's riding the coat tails of Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes, who's one of my favorite singer songwriters. It's insufferable. /rant
i really enjoy your videos and as an ancient music lover - 66- usually arrive at the end having never heard any of the music - but i go off and listen to this new music with enthusiasm - this time i had heard 2 - fleet foxes and fiona apple - also very impressed with your music vocabulary in describing the cuts - my best of 2020 predictably includes music geriatrics like springsteen, costello and paul weller - anyway thanks for your choices - i'll now set aside a few hours to sample your selections
Hell yes mate! My list: 1. Visions of Bodies Being Burned - Clipping. 2. Gorillaz - Song Machine Season 1 3. Purple Moonlight Pages - R.A.P. Ferreira 4. Ultra Mono - IDLES 5. Sawayama - Rina Sawayama 6. Fetch the Bolt Cutters - Fiona Apple 7. Heaven to a Tortured Mind - Yves Tumor 8. How I'm feeling now - Charli xcx 9. The New Abnormal - The Strokes 10. Making a door less open - Car Seat Headrest
A lot of music to discover here, great vid again man. Loved both the new autechre albums, best band ever! Kept getting back to Arca's kick i and Paysage d' Hiver's album, those are on top of my year list for me. Shitty year, lot's of good music, peace!
6:37, Hey! That was uncalled for.... I felt personally attacked by that statement XD. But you have to admit, RYM is the best place on the internet to quickly find new music. Its a great tool. The most useful thing after Soulseek.
@William Magee If you really wanna torture yourself, then look at the comments for albums like Dark Side of The Moon. So many members think it's cool to dislike important albums, but having a different opinion isn't anything special. It's just posturing
Yeah I pretty much agree with what everyone’s saying. Great website, but definitely imperfect. I love it but it shouldn’t be taken as gospel, and definitely don’t use it to act superior to others

Actually surprised to see Deftones here. Maybe consider a Guide to Deftones discography in the future?
guide: listen to everything
I haven't listened to the new one, but they were my favorite band as a kid (29 now) but ever since diamond eyes its completely fallen flat and emotionless to me. But I've seen and heard good things about the new one so maybe its worth a try? We will see 👀
@@nickh4354 Ohms is really fucking good. I think the only stinker they have in their discography is basically Gore.
The NME also had it in their best albums of the year list. Very weird that for some reason they are getting more critic love in the UK

fr that shit was like on repeat every single fucking day
Are we just gonna pretend Man Alive by King Krule dosnt exist?
SO TRUE
honestly just good content and always worth the wait, just take your time and keep your workload tolerable, we’ll be here

hold hold up
Shore is the BEST Fleet Foxes album????

Great list, but it’s severely lacking some Ichiko Aoba
Exactly! I guess it might be to new maybe?
forgot i was subscribed to this so i’m not sure what kind of music to expect going into this lol

Holy shit Deep Cuts you’re back! We miss you mate, i hope everything is well
Thanks Fred, miss y'all too!
Adjectives: the man.
Great list brother, can’t wait to check out quite a few of these! I can always trust you for good music taste.
The Central Scrutinizer has been informed about your outburst with two albums at 19. Patrol dispatched.
1. Baxter Dury - The Night Chancers
2. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
3. Yves Tumor - Heaven To A Tortured Mind
My top 3 AOTY which also didn’t make your list. My no 1 pick definitely deserves more recognition!
Hey, Oliver, I don't know whether this has been asked before but I was genuinely curious how you keep up with new releases. As a music fan myself I always find myself gravitating towards older releases and struggle to listen to all the new music being released. Congratulations on the newfound resurgence of the channel as well :)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, WELCOME BACK OLLY
What about a Kate Bush guide? Wasn't that in the works? Take your time of course :)
I feel like Alfredo, After Hours and Folklore is missing here.
Yes!!!!
Folklore is such a great album
The Strokes too
Sevdaliza’s - Shabrang not being here doesn’t sit good with me. I loved that shit
@Bloody Pulp okay boomer
You're too soon. The Avalanches should have been in this list.
And Ichiko Aoba
Exactly.
+1
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! HE INCLUDED DUMA! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED THAT SHIT! ❤️❤️❤️
You made some excellent choices, I am curious about why The Strokes, Run The Jewells and Gorillaz didn't impress you this year?
Gorillaz released their worst album. This must impress i guess
@@niqart you didn't like Song Machine? Best since 2010 in my opinion
Pleeeeease!
It's C-O-L-O-M-B-I-A, not ColUmbia.
Miss Colombia ;)
I wonder if The Microphones in 2020 did something
My favourite music reviewer is back with the spicy goods. 🙏
My Album of the Year without a doubt is “May Our Chambers Be Full”, the collaboration between Thou, and Emma Ruth Rundle.
Great to see Ohms getting some love. It's one of the best Deftones albums.
do 5 albums to get into bubblegum pop in a modern way no petsounds or Britney Spears albums that reflect that sounds but are also with the times
YES HE'S BACK
333 is definitely my AOTY
Great to see Magic Oneohtrix Point Never and even some Tokarczuk love. Finished Flights, absolutely loved it. Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is defiantly on my to-read list.
I'm so sick of Phoebe Bridgers. Incredibly overrated and as her album title explains a punisher of other better artists (look up definition if u don't know what it means). Now she's riding the coat tails of Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes, who's one of my favorite singer songwriters. It's insufferable. /rant
I've gotta say, really struggling to get the fuss around her album
as someone thats been on rateyourmusic for over a decade I love a good jab at the community
Duma are Kenyan, not Ugandan! It’s their label, Nyege Nyege, who are Ugandan based. Good list though and Duma are amazing.
Yeah I knew that and somehow when it came to speaking it I fucked it up 🥴
i really enjoy your videos and as an ancient music lover - 66- usually arrive at the end having never heard any of the music - but i go off and listen to this new music with enthusiasm - this time i had heard 2 - fleet foxes and fiona apple - also very impressed with your music vocabulary in describing the cuts - my best of 2020 predictably includes music geriatrics like springsteen, costello and paul weller - anyway thanks for your choices - i'll now set aside a few hours to sample your selections
Thoughts on the new avalanches album?

w for the rina appreciation
This is the best list I’ve seen yet, especially with the choice for album of the year. I am doubting that I’ll see one that’s better.
No te entiendo casi nada pero me gusta ver tus videos xd
As an RYM user, sadly we are the music police sorry.
Also that Monolake album is amazing, so thank you for that!
A lot of music to discover here, great vid again man. Loved both the new autechre albums, best band ever! Kept getting back to Arca's kick i and Paysage d' Hiver's album, those are on top of my year list for me. Shitty year, lot's of good music, peace!
You're so right about The Quietus, they're my favourite source. I could read Baker's Dozen for hours and not get tired.
"Shore is the best Fleet Foxes album" made me reflexively hover my mouse over the unsub button and contemplate.
I have discovered so much amazing music from this channel. Thanks oliver and keep up the good work, it's greatly appreciated!
6:37, Hey! That was uncalled for.... I felt personally attacked by that statement XD.
But you have to admit, RYM is the best place on the internet to quickly find new music.
Its a great tool. The most useful thing after Soulseek.
I love RYM too, but the community can really bother me sometimes. A lot of folks don't give the opinions of others respect
Just a lil' joke! ;)
@William Magee If you really wanna torture yourself, then look at the comments for albums like Dark Side of The Moon. So many members think it's cool to dislike important albums, but having a different opinion isn't anything special. It's just posturing
Yeah I pretty much agree with what everyone’s saying. Great website, but definitely imperfect. I love it but it shouldn’t be taken as gospel, and definitely don’t use it to act superior to others
@William Magee why does this sum rym up so well?
Backxwash - God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It
AOTY. Please, please give it a listen on Bandcamp. She is a fierce talent.
Can’t wait for the Nine Inch Nails guide!
