| the final straw
so as some of you may know, I have been listening to every single album to receive a featured review on this site. this morning, I saw the features, looked at my list of features I hadn't gotten to yet, and decided "fuck this, I sat through chug chug wob and owl city, I don't want Disturbed, or thrash meets metalcore, or shit-flavored grind. fuck this I quit" So here are a few highlights from my experience. Full list made public at RYM here: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/danielito19/2015_sputnik_featured_review_albums_ranked/ | | 1 |  | Holly Herndon
Platform
This is easily my favorite album that I discovered in this fashion (New Jeff Rosenstock was featured too, but I would have listened to that regardless). Vocal-based glitch pop with hints of alt r&b and IDM. | | 2 |  | Viet Cong
Viet Cong
I honestly can't believe there are people on sputnik who don't love this album. Post-punk. | | 3 |  | Bill Seaman
f (noir)
Some absolutely beautifully textured ambient from Eilean records. Ambient. | | 4 |  | Hiatus Kaiyote
Choose Your Weapon
I'm a pretty genre-limited person, so I would never have heard this without doing the feature thing. Neo-soul. | | 5 |  | bansheebeat
Lumine
Another album I wouldn't've heard without listening to all the crap. Rev is a great producer, I wish I had his talent. sparkly upbeat anime-infused idm slash "electronic" | |

08.18.15 | 2 looks interesting | PappyMason
08.18.15 | "o as some of you may know, I have been listening to every single album to receive a featured review on this site."
I didn't know that. That's pretty sweet.
Cool list, I need to check out 3 and 4. Sounds like I would be into them. | ConcubinaryCode

08.19.15 | my internet has been fucked all day, guess it never went off private. | SharkTooth
08.19.15 | The one album I reviewed that got featured is in the top 50 so yay | theBoneyKing
08.19.15 | Ok please explain how you can rate albums to three decimal places, how is that even possible? | ffs
08.19.15 | very cool idea, there is definitely a lot of music that i militantly do not care about getting featured reviews though | theBoneyKing
08.19.15 | Same, I probably care about less than 5% of what gets featured. | danielito19
08.19.15 | @ffs that's pretty much the conclusion I reached.
@BoneyKing it's a military secret, real confidential stuff | theBoneyKing
08.19.15 | Goddammit | Ocean of Noise
