ArsMoriendi: Secret Santa Albums 2021

ArsMoriendi 12.25.21	Santas: Even if someone guesses right don't say anything until January 1st But yeah guess away guys :D
SlothcoreSam 12.25.21	Ho ho ho Santa Arse is here
SlothcoreSam 12.25.21	I'm very intrigued to get into mine, I've heard a track or two from this, but will give it the attention I gave my gifts under the tree when I was a wee little sloth.
JohnnyoftheWell 12.25.21	Wow some of these are obvious lol Hyped for mine
SlothcoreSam 12.25.21	I have no idea who mine was, whoever it was, was very thoughtful, and I already appreciate it.
Trifolium 12.25.21	Nice!! Curious for mine, will check soon!!!
garas 12.25.21	Huh, my Santa kinda was on the same freq with me because I was looking at that band recently. It's a sign!
Bedex 12.25.21	I haven't listened to a second of it yet but my Santalbum has anat or gene written all over it m/
CottonSalad 12.25.21	I want in on this next year! Yes, I am expecting you to remember my arbitrary request. Thank you.
Pangea 12.25.21	mine is a well-known album so plenty of options. i already know and love their 2016 album so really excited to dive in! my gut feeling is saying one of the dexbros though. my guess for now is dedex because he knows how much i liked the hayley mary ep from last year i do know sam also loves reccing australian stuff and sinternet at least has heard it as well i think but for now i guess dedex
Kompys2000 12.25.21	Wow not the faintest idea who mine is, excited to listen tho!!!
Trifolium 12.25.21	With the ties my rec has to a certain band, I would expect one of the biggest Ulver connoisseurs present, the almighty garas, to be my Santa. That's what I'll go for, although I have yet to hear it.
Egarran 12.25.21	A fine list by a fine bunch of santas Looking at the users who rated my album I should be able to dramatically reduce the number of potential santas. Unless it's a bluff!
garas 12.25.21	Almost forgot: I have no clue who rec'd mine, but that person must know: I really appreciate the biologist reference in the bandname. Tardigrades are the most badass creatures.
Trifolium 12.25.21	That might very well be the case Egarran! One of the two, or perhaps none of them!!!
Egarran 12.25.21	Now would you be bold enough to say that if you were my santa? This will haunt me for days.
Pheromone 12.25.21	i think in someone
SlothcoreSam 12.25.21	I'm thinking my Santa might be tectactoe judging by his rating and enthusiasm surrounding this album.
dedex 12.25.21	mmmmh my santalbum looks tasty! I see only Sint rec'd so eh maybe Sint BUT maybe not who knows?
JesperL 12.25.21	ayy nice, imma jam and guess tomorrow. thanks in advance secret boi!
JesperL 12.25.21	(i believe the album and band names are switched on this list btw)
ArsMoriendi 12.25.21	That's why it's the only one I had to add to the database Whoops, fixing
YoYoMancuso 12.25.21	Santa came through for madrigal
someone 12.25.21	My gift has a big dick Sandwichbubble energy Now who else has big dick Sandwich bubble energy?
SlothcoreSam 12.26.21	First impression of my album, is a 4, with four excellent tracks. But will give it a couple more spins, as I feel like it's gonna grow on me. Thanks Santa
tectactoe 12.26.21	Many thanks to my Santa, whomever he or she might be, this album’s been in my queue for forever - very stoked to finally have a reason to push it to the front! Will make an educated guess after listening!
anat 12.26.21	looking forward to getting stuck into my rec! thanks santa
Pheromone 12.26.21	that's alright anat mate
anat 12.26.21	yeah as if you didn’t rec black eyes lad
Egarran 12.26.21	Alright I'll take the safe choice and say Trif is my Santa. This may also be a fetish for me. Dude can come down my chimney any day.
JesperL 12.26.21	damn my rec is rly damn good, nice no clue who my santa is.. maybe some mild bedex vibes? or sint? hmm
Trifolium 12.26.21	Wow I surely must be dreaming because that is my exact same fetish too ❤️😘💚💖✨🌈
Sinternet 12.26.21	oh nice i had that album saved on my to listen list already now this gives me a reason to go for it
Storm In A Teacup 12.27.21	My secret santa picked well. First song so far is great.
Pangea 12.27.21	prisoner is great, thank you santa!
dedex 12.27.21	love that kinda abstract hip hoppy stuff, thanks santaboo
Bedex 12.27.21	thank you sput spanta that was a great album i really liked it!! it was an excellent pick for me m/ it could be bluff of course but seeing that anat hasn't rated it drops my suspicion, Tec only gave it a 3.5, so i think i will trust my first instinct and say my santa was gene
someone 12.27.21	thank you santa, Edith Nylon was hella tight
rifkadm 12.28.21	My guess is Storm. I'm in the middle of hearing this album and so far I like it quite a bit!
tectactoe 12.28.21	Loved my album, need another listen for the rating to settle in. but on the edge between 3.5 and 4. Instrumentally it rules. the only thing i find occasionally grating are the “sassy” vocals, which thankfully aren’t too prevalent. My guess is Phero, considering his high score for the album :)
garas 12.28.21	Thanks santa for the album, it was a strong 3.5 (=great!) and excellently matched to the winter season! It might be a grower in time, but I have to check their full discography too.
madrigal30 12.30.21	wow, santa rec'd me a great emo-y math rock record. this is seriously super fkn cool. thinking mine might have come from dedex himself. giving my rating a 4.3 for laughs. seriously blown away
JohnnyoftheWell 12.30.21	my album is sexy trip-hop / bossa nova, which I like! It is fab, thank you < 3 50/50 on whether my santa gave it to me bc they think I'm sexy or bc they want me to be sexier, but either way I'm gonna call MINUS are u there
Sinternet 12.30.21	so mine was pretty neat and definitely unique, the heavier sections reminded me alot of horse the band in places but then instead of nes/snes-style chiptune its like this weird vaporwave/n64 electronic sections. will say it would have been better kept to under an hour (at least for my attention span) but it wasn't too difficult a marathon. also didn't realise until just now that the same person was in age sixteen who were a kickass skramz band, one day im gonna have to do a list on all the weird musical career paths of people who used to be in emo and screamo bands. anyway album is a 3.8-3.9 for me, thanks for the rec. trying to work out who it was without checking ratings, maybe kompys?
SlothcoreSam 12.31.21	My final guess is tec.
ArsMoriendi 12.31.21	I'll do the reveals some random point on Saturday EST
Egarran 12.31.21	Awesome. Can't wait to gloat like a true santa. Dude is always so smug. Btw do you have links for earlier santa lists?
rifkadm 12.31.21	@Egarran - I think he started it last year. Here's the list for then =) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1034848&listid=194534
Egarran 01.01.22	Thanks rifk! I liked that album, but I didn't listen enough. I shall compensate.

Storm In A Teacup 01.01.22	😃😃😃
Storm In A Teacup 01.01.22	Minus is my 2nd guess
ArsMoriendi 01.01.22	Don't 2nd guess you got it right the first time lol A lot of them are obvious, but that's okay because I think everyone liked their albums! :D There's usually 1 pair of people who are each others Santas and JesperL and anat are this year's

Egarran 01.01.22	Thank you Trif for the very nice and easy rec. Sorry to Phero for making it difficult, I'll be obvious next time.
ArsMoriendi 01.01.22	Why Eggy, the not-obvious ones were the funnest to watch :P
Egarran 01.01.22	But it's also fun to guess correctly, so better change it up
nol 01.01.22	“garas didn't guess, but I'll be honest, there's no way he would've figured this one out” lmao how so?
nol 01.01.22	I love uhhhh Depressive Black Metal from Switzerland
garas 01.01.22	That was unexpected for sure, hahaha. I literally had no idea, but that's a welcomed surprise!! Thanks nol, I appreciate it and you guessed well what music I dig during winter. But I want to know if Trifo liked my present or not!!
nol 01.01.22	I may or may not have received assistance
garas 01.01.22	Then the possible assistant(s) deserve(s) some praise too!
Minushuman24 01.01.22	I forgot to comment my guess yesterday but I nailed it!
Minushuman24 01.01.22	Yes, johnny now get to being sexy

Kompys2000 01.01.22	Wordddd thanks madrigal!! First listen of the appleseed cast was a good time, might just have to explore their discography further
SlothcoreSam 01.02.22	Yay I win twice! Thanks Tec, awesome album. And Someone thinks I have Sandwich big dick energy!

Trifolium 01.03.22	I like it garas! It reminds me of Sisters Of Mercy occasionally, which is always a good thing in my book. Of course there's a certain Ulverishness about it too. And of course that's a good thing! Nice rec, thanks Santa!
dedex 01.03.22	so glad you dig it madri!
Egarran 01.04.22	Well Phero obviously hated mine I was sure French retro-futurism was his thing
