T3551ER Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) UPDATED: Youtube Playlist here: Happy 2021! Last year I got a lot of mileage out of the WATMM SOTY thread - helped provide a lot of light in a dark year, so figure it's high time to continue the tradition in 2021! Realize there may be more than one SOTY for you, please feel free to post several. If people (you don't have to) would be kind enough to post Spotify links, I'll also create a WATMM SOTY playlist and post it here for everyone to enjoy. Here's mine, in no particular order: 1. Poppy - Concrete I would actually probably choose "Don't Go Outside" but you really have to have listened to (and enjoyed) the full album to get the full effect there. Anyway, Concrete sort of distills what's best about this album, alternating between thrash metal, japanese bublegum pop and then straight up pop rock at the outro. 2. The Strokes - At the Door Something immensely crushing but also uplifting about this track. It made me cry when I first listened to it. Still gives me the sniffles. 3. Busta Rhymes (w Kendrick Lamaar) - Everything from the chopped Michael Jackson sample to a killer verse by Kenrick and a hot as fire verse by Busta, can't beat this track. 4. Spillage Village - Ea'alah (Family) - This whole record is amazeballs, hard to pick just one track, but this one is a pretty great summation of everything good about this record - gospel tinged melodies and guitars mixed with street mentality.

markedone Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Nice thread idea but boo @ spotify links. If you dont have an account they either give you a tiny crap sample, or in my case dont play because "not available in your country" Most memorable for me would have to be some autechre.. particularly the SIGN livestream. I love the opening tracks on both albums.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3551ER Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Awesome. Loving this shit. Went ahead and replaced w/ Youtube links (agreed Spotify is shit for those w/out an account). Added link to Youtube playlist in first post, will continue to add vids as they come across here. Cheers WATMM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbass Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Didn't like the rest of the album bit this track was the banger to rule all bangers for me this year Edited January 4, 2021 by thumbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like forever ago I remember watching that video in bed and being stoked on it. 2020 messing with my sense of time. Alone, Omen 3 I would nominate as one of my fav tracks of the year. Its a concise earworm that I was playing on repeat a lot at the start of the quarantine Edited January 4, 2021 by markedone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3551ER Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wondered when Oneohtrix was gonna pop up.... @thumbass good track. It's weird, I feel like I like Slowthai tons when he guests (the Gorrilaz track was aces) but don't prefer his solo stuff... probably I'm just not british enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that every release they do is 10x worse than the last one, and they've got quite a few albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclosure always has 1/2 really good tracks on each of their projects and the rest is trash. This track is a motherfucking Stormer though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
