12.07.19 | I might be missing stuff and if so I'll add it later. up next is my best of the decade list, which i'm far more excited to post |
Calc
12.07.19 | agreed on 10. too much jizz on this site for that pile |
RogueNine
12.08.19 | I went to Astronoid's page but didn't see your review for it. |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | eviltoaster, it's my alt |
madrigal30
12.08.19 | i love glass beach, but i can see why you'd hate it |
twlight
12.08.19 | Agree with most of this but I personally think Lana's album is by far the best she's done |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | I heard it two and a half times and I just don't get it =[ |
Slex
12.08.19 | actually agree with a lot of these |
Aerisavion
12.08.19 | I’d take 11 over MCID or Victorious any fucking day... |
mynameischan
12.08.19 | i like a few of these, namely 3, 4, and 8, but good list nonetheless |
JohnnyoftheWell
12.08.19 | 6 take is 100% accurate, Born to Die isn't even that great but it eats NFR alive |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | cheers guys |

12.08.19 | what did u like most from 2019 gyro? |
GhandhiLion
12.08.19 | Agreed with 4. Boring album. |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | acad: Lots of great stuff this year. I think that new screamo album, Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula is really good. Love new Underworld, Andy Stott, Lapalux, Big Thief, Low Roar, Jpegmafia, (Sandy) Alex G, Barker, J Paul, Holly Herndon (worn off me a bit though), Aldous Harding, Default Genders, Deathspell Omega, Purple Mountains, Cult of Luna |
Slex
12.08.19 | really need to check Underworld, Lapalux and Barker still |
BAT
12.08.19 | new earl, kanye. i didnt have high hopes for it but the new pixies album is awkward as fuck. never finished that glass beach album buuut it seems to have settled accurately, fun tho. i likedd the singles from the new opeth but haven't bothered yet |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | oh yeah! i forgot about new pixies (for good reason). thanks for the reminder |
sixdegrees
12.08.19 | havent heard any of these |
Lucman
12.08.19 | Except for 5 I agree with pretty much everything here. 3s description is spot on haha |
twlight
12.08.19 | Turnover's new album sucks as well... |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | Haven't heard turnover.
Lucman: glad somebody got a kick out of that! |
DopeFiend
12.08.19 | agreed with everything here. I was so excited to hear astronoid after seeing all the hype, and all I got was an insanely amateur-ish attempt at making post rock |
sixdegrees
12.08.19 | why did you post the review on an alt though |
conesmoke
12.08.19 | Agree hard with 3. I had to read your astronoid review after I read the blurb on this list. Funny stuff lol |
Josh D.
12.08.19 | editL nvm |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | idk, i don't really like alt accounts but tried one out, mostly just to see if people react differently when they don't know it's gyro |
sixdegrees
12.08.19 | any conclusions? |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | not really, no lol. |
sixdegrees
12.08.19 | lol |
DoofDoof
12.08.19 | Lana’s debut is still the only album by her anyone needs, so I’m with you on that Gyro |
DoofDoof
12.08.19 | I liked the FlyLo a little more than the previous and the Nick Cave has some moving stuff on there - other than that agree with the rest.
List needs The National, Bon Iver, Richard Dawson, New Pornographers, James Blake, Tyler the Creator (seriously, it’s weaker than the previous album), and uh, you could even say Tool was disappointing (which it was) but the amount of upset that causes I’m not sure it’s worth it |
unclereich
12.08.19 | Good list shit user |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | Doof: haha how did I forget about The National and New Pornos. Will add those tomorrow. I was thinking of putting tool here but decided against it |
Larkinhill
12.08.19 | Shit list good user |
Larkinhill
12.08.19 | Well...pretty good list too. Love you didn’t include Tool since, ya know...it’s one of the best albums of the year (only stupid people don’t get it, and you’re obviously not stupid gyro....right? Obviously). |
Deviant.
12.08.19 | All I gotta say is it sounds like everyone had a good time but you |
Cimnele
12.08.19 | glass beach is amateurish? i'll let them know, i bet they were trying to sound slick and professional lol |
ramon.
12.08.19 | most bad albums 2019 |
Calc
12.08.19 | injury reserve was probably my most disappointing album this year, I tried to get into it like 5 times and there's just nothing but sporadic bits of goodness. ironically, the best beat/hook they made on the whole thing was the song about how to make a rap song. |
Atari
12.08.19 | I wasn’t sure about 10 at first but it’s actually awesome |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.08.19 | yo 3 is awesome dude |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.08.19 | 13 is her best in years imo. Question: how many times have you listened to flamagra approximately? |
haesslichermensch
12.08.19 | can pretty much agree with the whole list. |
virpi
12.08.19 | totally agree on 3. artsy fartsy bs. |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | Larkin: haha I definitely did not enjoy tool.
Deviant: okay.
Pots: I'll concede it's her best since Two Suns but still disappointing as hell overall imo. Probably feel so strongly about it since a few people hyped it up to me as being as good as Two Suns. And I've heard Flamagra thrice over + change (revisited songs here and there).
Calc: agreed hard about injury reserve, will probably add that later as well. |
luci
12.08.19 | 13 is her best in years imo [2]
good picks, you know what i agree and disagree with.
i'd add remo drive, titus and mac demarco for worst albums. m83 was extremely meh as well |
Gyromania
12.08.19 | M83 had an album this year? Lmao. And yeah agreed with Titus |
luci
12.08.19 | it was some forgettable ambient muzak. doesn’t even belong in their discog |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.08.19 | @gyro I kinda figured. It's not an immediate album, some of the tracks I felt ambiguous about at first became favourites after a dozen or so listens. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.08.19 | I feel pretty strongly that 3 complete listens isnt enough to judge it as dismissively as you do tbh, I think you could get a lot more out of it if you gave it some more open minded time |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.08.19 | That being said i know you well enough to know that if your mind is set on hating it there isnt much point so it's kind of your own prerogative at the end of the day |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.08.19 | Basically what I'm saying is if you want to like it more than you do you probably will with time. It's a grower. |
Gyromania
12.09.19 | Pots: I definitely don't hate it. I rated it a 3/5, I just think it's a huge let down since it was top 3 most anticipated of the year. Who knows though, we're human, opinions change all the time. I can confidently say I enjoy it more now than I did upon initially hearing it |

12.10.19 | ^ ... that came out this year??!! |
insomniac15
12.10.19 | I agree with Nick Cave, but strongly disagree with Opeth. The latter is awesome. |
rellik009
12.10.19 | "actual music"?
Please. |
Gyromania
12.10.19 | Please indeed. I'd love the good version of Nick Cave back |
qwenta
12.10.19 | Opeths new album is quite nice. Agreed hard with Alcest and Refused and very hard with Nick Cave, what a shitty album. |
butt.
12.10.19 | damn. some hot takes here and I pretty much agree with all of them. Astronoid was just not good, Nick Cave is absolutely Disney-like and I've never understood the appeal, and Glass Beach has some of the most annoying vocals of all time |
Gyromania
12.10.19 | Pleasantly surprised that others agree about Ghosteen being bad |
Lucman
12.10.19 | I'm in the same boat. Couldn't get into Ghosteen at all |
Nomos2
12.10.19 | Thanks for reminding me that Astronoid's S/T was my biggest disappointment of the year, and right at the beginning of it too! I actually have seen them twice live and their first LP is maybe one of my most-listened-to albums ever. I have no idea why they got so dull and homogeneous and annoying in the second LP. |
RogueNine
12.10.19 | Heard the single, thought it was bad, never listened to the rest of it. |
