They are still searching for Janet Jackson.

Bon Iver - 22, A Million This is the definition of game-changing. The sounds you hear on this album transcend the usual trends of music today. It's challenging, I fucking felt something purely surreal while listening to it. And if you like Brian Eno or Radiohead or even Kanye West, you will surely find this brilliant on so many levels.

He needs to get away from his computer and start writing songs again.

this is just average background muzac.

If I'm being generous I'll give it 6/10

I vote for the Life of Pablo.

My favorite 2016 album is TEEN's Love Yes.

it's a great album indeed. i also loved both nick cave's "skelleton tree" and leonard cohen's
"you want it darker".

not feeling the new radiohead that much, except for 'true love waits', which has always
been one of my favorit songs anyway. glad to have a good studio version finally. but i'm
not as much enamored with the rest of this album as i was with all their other ones. but
perhaps it will win me over in time.

bowie's "blackstar" is still great as well. i've been listening to "lazarus" a few times each
week since the album was released. some very good material on that album.

i think many people were a bit disappointed with it by me, personally, i think maxwell's
"SUMMERs" is a fine album. again, some great great tracks on there that are on my
regular playlist and won't leave it for a while yet.

another one that is quite good is flume's "skin" -which i only checked out because it has
a song with beck on vocals. but it's a very cool album.

only thing left this year i'm looking forward to -in fact, more so than any other album-
is beck's new one. it's been pushed back till late november, i think? hope it's released
soon. i can't wait. beck always delivers the goods.

the one album that disappointed me most this year was bat for lashes' "the bride" it's
just not my cup of tea. oh well, i still enjoy "the haunted man" anyway, so i'll just keep
pretending that "the bride" never happened

Phase 2 was released last year.

There's been a lot of good stuff released this year, but in between Prince dying, my developing ear pain and tinnitus and my speakers breaking I haven't been listening to a lot for over half of the year. It's a shame as there's been so many releases that I've wanted to check out but haven't really been able to, so I feel like I've missed out on a lot of stuff which has slipped through the cracks. So the albums that particularly enjoyed this year were all released near the beginning of it. I think my favourite was probably Anderson .Paak's Malibu, that was pretty damn great, it already feels a bit like a lifetime ago since it was released though due to all the fucked up shit that has happened since.

Good shout Sexton. I LOVE All About Us, so had the album on pre order, I think the album is a little patchy but still good non the less

I ought to give my faves, I'll have a think

It has the most songs to which I gave five-star ratings so that's why it comes out on top.

1. TEEN - Love Yes
2. Kristin Kontrol - X-Communicate

King.

Kept meaning to pick this up, but I didn't see it anywhere to pick it up. Haven't ordered it.

For me it was Anderson Paak's "Malibu". Check this out if you are into alternative R&B and stuff like Kendrick Lamar.

The Hue - Aurora

For me: Bowie's Blackstar, by far.

Too bad there only 7 tracks on it.

Barry Gibb - In the Now
