>>12203 That's a difficult question - stopped buying albums long ago. Back in the days of CDs, you knew there were two or three tracks perhaps that you knew, and yet you would happily listen to the entire thing and discover the others. In the days of Spotify, etc, do music listeners even behave like this anymore?
To take this immediately into the weeb-zone, N-qia make the perfect albums for long train journeys. I've spent many hours staring out of train windows over the past 10 years to this:
>>12204 I still do but it depends on what you're doing. I like to listen to albums when I'm working or travelling which I think really give you an experience that is missing from flicking around tracks.
Well, I'm officially old. I don't think I recognised more than handful of albums off that list and I've not listened to a single one (except perhaps Lady Gaga via simple osmosis).
The only album I really remember liking from the last 10 years was Chase and Status' "No more idols", and I guess the second La Roux album was alright, sort of.
Most of the music I've discovered since '09 has been older 2000-2009 era stuff that was either a genre I wasn't interested in at the time or so obscure that no one my peer circle had discovered it.
If it's true that people forever listen to the music of their youth, then my youth ended in 2009. RIP.
>>12206 There's only a few on that list I know I've definitely listened to: PJ Harvey, Daft Punk, Todd Terje, Courtney Barnett, Grimes only Visions as everything after that hasn't been to my taste and Fiona Apple.
I haven't discovered much new music in the past fifteen years or so. That said, this came straight to mind for best albums of the past decade; there will be more but for the rest I'd have to check when they were actually released.
I'll tell you in 20 years. Right now, I'd probably say Stretch Music by Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Your Queen is a Reptile by Sons of Kemet, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides by SOPHIE and Racine Carrée by Stromae, but I'll probably disagree with myself shortly. If I can slip in an EP, I'll add search result by umru.
