banger list! my personal adds would be fishmonger/wallsocket by underscores, frailty by jane remover, ultra 85 by logic, alligator bites by doechii, and maybe punk tactics/no hands by joey valence and brae as well.
You got a pretty based list but 2 things You've got some serious heat on the hip hop picks for real. Someone else mentioned Punk Tactics & No Hands by Joey Valence & Brae and I wanna echo the recognition cuz they are straight NAILING that hyphy Golden Age Hip Hop group energy. They match that Beastie Boys style so well that I'm starting to believe they're even better than the Beasties. Also, since you seem to be in tune with a lot of underground rap, have you listened to anything by Billy Woods and subsequently the duo Armand Hammer he's in with Elucid? Cuz maaan, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips by Armand Hammer is a masterclass in brain melting experimental hip hop. When I saw Injury Reserve come up I figured you were gonna have A. Hammer in your top 10
Test Strips was absolute madness. I didn’t love it as much as the Injury Reserve album or Aethiopes, but it was an experience for sure. Doves is especially incredible.
I'm new to your content but I see you are an enjoyer of heavy tunes so I want to strongly recommend 2 "Decade-Best-for-me" supremely dope albums that I've seen nobody talk about. So put you up on game, if I may haha apologies in advance for long comment syndrome. Skindred - Smile [genre: Nu-Metal/Rap/Reggae] On the surface, this is some silly ass feel-good campy metal slappers that at first could be seen as taking-the-piss outta early 2000's radio-ready Rap Metal (of which Skindred was very much apart of but never received the attention they deserved) However, take a deeper listen and find what could be the Nu-Metal hidden masterpiece of the decade. Most people might see this as pure goofball sunshiney brutal stadium level cheese. To my ears tho, this is maximum sensational fun that I take very seriously. Is it gimmicky? Yes. Much! Is it High Art? Also yes. Because Skindred does one thing particularly well here. Making the album monumentally fucking HEAVY! It's just a giant bowl of great-ideas soup. Take familiar pop song formulas, aggressive hip-hop aesthetics, authentic Reggae/Dub techniques, fun n relatable song topics, br00tal chunky pummeling metal riffs, quality songwriting, did I mention fun?, infectious grooves n hooks, ultra tight playing, yeah combine all of that and somehow it manages to be even greater with ridiculous high replay value. Not only a late-career project from a long forgotten band I've heard...this, no joke, could be a Nu-Metal G.O.A.T. contender. From one music nerd to another, give it a shot Floret Loret - Tales From the Terrarium [genre: Wonky/Halftime] An album that sounds like the cover art. Probably a loose concept album about like some future hyper-morphing alien rainforest in an alternate dimension getting annihilated, idk. But what I do know is this album will absolutely wreck yo shit with some of the most lush crystal clear tripped the fuck out production maybe ever. As a superlover of heavy EDM shit, trust when I say this is some seriously psychedelic mind-expanding bass music. The type of album that when you show it to someone fresh n witness their face melt right into the underworld...so much joy to be had. Spin this on the best speakers/headphones you can find and have fun young grasshoppah! Keep up the good work! Ok bye
No clancy by 21 pilots? No fine art by kneecap? No romance by fontaines? No from zero by Linkin Park? These were some of the best albums of this year easily.
great video, was surprised to see no jpegmafia or little simz but that liturgy mention is awesome
If I made a top 100, they'd show up on there.
Great picks man
