Portishead - Live 1998: Sour Times/Roads limited 10" (December 6)

"Following the 25th anniversary edition of their Roseland NYC Live album, Portishead release two tracks left out of the remasters, making Live 1998 a truly essential pickup."

Well, His Kendrickness surprised the world (outside of SYG that is) with an album drop last week. There was a time when this was cause for much critical thinking/duscussion. (I thought To Pimp A Butterfly was brilliant.) But now it seems to be all about diss tracks and Drake.

(To be clear, I could not whistle a Drake tune to save my life.)

Also, Tyler The Creator recently put out his new one with no mention here. Is he also on "The List" that I think I am going to make?

when it comes to album artwork, this one would be one of th better ones of this year Not sure about the music yet though

unboxing the boxset

Thanks for this. I like Quietus, generally. There's a lot there that I need to research - especially #1.

Not much of a spoiler alert: The Collective made it (#64).

This is stupid, though. I know not many albums are released in December, but what is the damn rush — publish/post your lists the first week of January or something.

The Quietus is a very good site. And it's so elegant! :)

I fell in love with Quietus when they gave Richard Dawson - Peasant AOTY in 2017. I remember raving about how Ogre was The Greatest Song Ever (it still is), but that went over like the MAGA thread.

"Fairport Unconventional", AllMusic called him... Heh. Gonna have to give it a spin.

Let me help!!!

(Please...pleeeeaaasee go all the way to the end.....of The Greatest Song Ever Recorded.)

I love one of the youtuber comments: (It pretty much parallels my first reaction.)

"1st Listen > Me: Wtf is this?

2nd Listen > Me: Okay, this is different. Pretty creative freak folk.

3rd Listen > Me: IN THE KIIIIIINGDOM OF BRYNEICH!!!"

Pitchfork. Lol.

Actually, both Exclaim! and Pitchfork put Cindy Lee at #1, and I'm ashamed to say that I know fuckall about her/them. But sampling the monolithic Diamond Jubilee has me salivating.

Note to self to check out that Milan W. album that's ranked on number 44 here.
He used to be the second guitarist in Flying Horseman, one of my favourite bands. Actually listening now, the backup vocals on some tracks are by one of the women in that band.
I only heard one and a half track so far, until now I still prefer Flying Horseman...
I find Milan's voice a bit boring actually

Seefeel - Squared Roots (December 4)

Limited edition FUCK. Don't buy it yet! I mean, buy it after I can buy it! Or send me money!

Does anyone here do Crack?

https://crackmagazine.net/article/li...t-albums-2024/

Fuck me! Look what's at #1 yet again!

So....brat. Is that one of those really great records that belongs on the special SYG list that I have not compiled yet?

I listened to a few tracks some months ago and it didn't really appeal ti me, so I don't know. I've been more or less on a diet of DOOM this year and I much rather hear that than some lofi sixties revival act.

This list has a Dutch artist ranked at 21 that I've never heard of, and listening for after 10 seconds I concluded I'll keep it at that
I must be getting old I just don't care anymore, but do consider to buy the Cure's live album, Some songs are excellent

Why not just post the top 10's of all those best of lists and be done with it.

Because Kiim is sometimes at 11+? Was that the right answer?
