DadKungFu 04.03.23	Lankum - False Lankum
PotsyTater 04.03.23	Honestly, considering how disproportionately favoured certain genres are on Sputnik, this series has an innate bias in favor of particular albums. This disencourages users who favor other genres from voting at all because they know it’s an uphill battle against whatever the traffic generating staff reviewed flavour of the week metal or indie album is at that time. In the interest of fairness, and a more unique contest with bigger surprises and rewarding results, I propose that in addition to a positive vote towards a users favourite album, they also be allowed one negative vote against an album that they strongly feel does not deserve the title of the month. I think this would be a really fun adjustment that would encourage greater collaboration and interaction from the userbase and yield some really interesting results! Bearing all this in mind, I vote against whatever Tundra voted for.
DadKungFu 04.03.23	I mean Ryuichi Sakamoto won in January so

JohnnyoftheWell 04.05.23	this requires you to consume at least one Invent Animate song in its songly entirety
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I have and you can’t prove otherwise
Ryus 04.05.23	yung lean won last month so i will be satisfied no matter what

JohnnyoftheWell 04.05.23	ξ"(￣ *)
Sunnyvale 04.05.23	Quite the arms race developing. I believe everything is up to date now, for the record, only counting one Pots vote.
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I change my vote to Andrea
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Fuck tundra’s playlist
normaloctagon 04.05.23	Andrea - Due In Color
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Hell yeah team Andrea
normaloctagon 04.05.23	m/
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Sloth I’ll peep in a bit but I’m listening to Rebecca Black rn and we can’t interrupt Rebecca Black
SteakByrnes 04.05.23	slothsteak pog That rebecca black album is great
DDDeftoneDDD 04.05.23	I bet 4 sucks so hard...
PotsyTater 04.05.23	There are some really bad songs on the Rebecca black album There are also some really good songs on the rebeca black album
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I mean steak
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Damn I thought u were rec’ing me a SONG not a whole Damn album
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I made a misteak ha ha
MarsKid 04.05.23	This is the most heated I've ever seen this voting get lol
Cimnele 04.05.23	hard to vote against the album which invented anime
SteakByrnes 04.05.23	If you want to just jam a SONG then check um Soul Sleep big dog
izakaya 04.05.23	I'm going to join the andrea team
izakaya 04.05.23	I haven't listened to the invent animate album though so that also both is and isn't the best album of the month
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Lmao sunny is a good sport
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Anyways, I vote for radical romantics
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Yo is that skrillex singing the cleans on Soul Sleep?
PotsyTater 04.05.23	This band sounds like after the burial meets from first to last
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I’m listening to the first song on that alb now I would have fucksed with this so hard when I was 14 it’s really not so bad
DadKungFu 04.05.23	I'm gonna check 4 with as open a mind as possible but the term "progcore" makes my skin crawl
PotsyTater 04.05.23	It’s literally just djent and metalcore bullshit
Purpl3Spartan 04.05.23	Voting for something that isn’t your favorite of the month just to make another album lose is actually some cringelord material. I expected better of you guys tbh
IsisScript80 04.05.23	"ok for pure chaos i change my vote to andrea - Due In Color" Mind-meltingly twisty arc over multiple threads (well, two that I'm aware of).
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Changing my vote back to Andrea to stack against whatever purplespartan voted for
SteakByrnes 04.05.23	"I’m listening to the first song on that alb now I would have fucksed with this so hard when I was 14 it’s really not so bad" good enough for me lol, Stillworld was huge
Ryus 04.05.23	this is getting spicy
Ryus 04.05.23	sunnyvale i pity u for having to deal with this
SteakByrnes 04.05.23	He DOES kinda have that sonny moore clean timbre going
Demon of the Fall 04.05.23	‘Invent Animate Heavener SteakByrnes Tundra Purpl3Spartan AeniasGaming onionbubs calmrose tyman420’ Yep, this is clearly shite, I want to vote for Andrea which I’m 101% sure is better, but I’ve never heard it so… put me down for Weval, which is a nothing vote, but okay. Will this be open tomorrow?
PotsyTater 04.05.23	I listened to the whole album steak which says a lot considering it’s the first time I’ve listened to a whole album of any kind of metal in like probably over 7 years It is a solid 3
Demon of the Fall 04.05.23	Surprisingly high score from Potsy there Don’t make me check it 😄
Demon of the Fall 04.05.23	although maybe you’ve just forgotten what metal sounds like and the novelty gave you a nice semi-hit of dopamine or something
Trifolium 04.05.23	Demooooonnnnnnnnnnn it's so cozy with us together on Weval it's worth it!!!
PotsyTater 04.05.23	@demon not that one tho it’s an older one he made me listen to
SteakByrnes 04.05.23	lmfao demon And damn nice potsy lol that's sick. I really dig their lead work
DDDeftoneDDD 04.05.23	A potsy 3? Wtf lol I almost puke to the similar artists&genre tags combined
PotsyTater 04.05.23	Ya man it reminds me of puberty bro
StormChaser 04.05.23	Enslaved - Heimdal
DDDeftoneDDD 04.05.23	The best kind of chasers
Sunnyvale 04.05.23	List should be up to date now, will close tomorrow. And yes, people are definitely taking advantage of my good nature, haha!
JohnnyoftheWell 04.05.23	Pour one out for kev keeping the MSPAINT plot alive
dedex 04.06.23	"This band sounds like after the burial meets from first to last" lmfao also yes kev and his big dick energy with MSPAINT
kevbogz 04.06.23	sput never matches my hype but that's ok i still love u guys
dedex 04.06.23	you're a titan of hope
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	the worst thing about Invent Animate is you guys had Enslaved right there begging to be voted for, y'know if you simply had to metal Andrea is actually good btw, so yeah put me down for it because Weval ain't winning (sorry Trif)
Sunnyvale 04.06.23	Voting is now closed. The winner is Andrea-Due In Color. If you voted for that album, please reply if you'd like to write up a blurb for it.
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	shouldn't have bothered, it's over anyway! ah well
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	Enslaved deserved this about as much as Invent Animate, which is not at all
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	I haven't even heard the album yet to be fair was catching up on their older (good) shit
Dewinged 04.06.23	Depressing times.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	It's marginally better than the new IA, but the fact that it was voted by the same posse who backed the new Katatonia says far more than it should re. quality Alas
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Intelligent Dance Music = too Intelligent to dance to. Will check it out smh
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	yeah, admittedly I trolled IA's crew, but that one isn't much (any?) better damn
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	New Enslaved is prob metal aoty, so you guys troll how you like to be in fashion. For me personally a metal aoty is more relevant than and idmbient album of the month, but you keep the good fight. To say its just has goodas an album from bands like Inventz, erra, northlane etc make all your comments invalid and your voting should be disqualidlfied
SteakByrnes 04.06.23	Yay now you all can stop crying about a metalcore album winning lol
AlexKzillion 04.06.23	periphery v erasure
Cimnele 04.06.23	metal outy
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Album to do other stuff oty
StormChaser 04.06.23	Agreed on Heimdal being the metal AOTY so far and will probably stay that way I would also gladly give up Heimdal's victory just so a metalcore record doesn't win it Also lol to sput being higher on IDM than proper metal
Ryus 04.06.23	why r we talking about idm
SteakByrnes 04.06.23	not sure lol
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	forgot how much DDD's disgruntled attempts at elitism spark my sputometer lol cope harder buddy
mkmusic1995 04.06.23	I love the term 'proper metal'. A very elitist outlook on such a vast and diverse musical landscape
fogza 04.06.23	proper polka
Shemson 04.06.23	JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown - Scaring The Hoes
dedex 04.06.23	too late bro
PotsyTater 04.06.23	Lol ddd thinks metal is more relevant than electronic
MarsKid 04.06.23	"Yay now you all can stop crying about a metalcore album winning lol" Give it another month
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	Also lol to sput being higher on IDM than proper metal Also lol to sput being higher on IDM than proper metal Also lol to sput being higher on IDM than proper metal Also lol to sput being higher on IDM than proper metal
MarsKid 04.06.23	I saw Hungrybox at a grocery store in Florida yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Ryus 04.06.23	You say Enslaved - I say Aphex Twin You say Ulcerate - I say Boards of Canada You say Agalloch - I say Autecchre You say In Flames- I say Squarepusher You say Metal - I scream IDM 70% of teenagers and young adults have turned to metal. If you are part of the 30% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. DON’T LET THE SPIRIT OF IDM DIE!!!! To all the young people including me [im 12] : You listen to the best music on the planet. keep it. keep the good music.
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	okay, that was almost dumb enough to turn me back the other way, just when I was getting used to being team not metal
IsisScript80 04.06.23	I say various things, up to and including: Enslaved Twin, Ulcerations of Canada, Autecalloch, Flamepusher and most importantly, Metalidm. Fusion is my dream. I was sectioned yesterday.
Ryus 04.06.23	thats ok demon i dont really like most idm anyway
StormChaser 04.06.23	me saying 'proper metal' was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but sure
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	me neither Ryus 😄
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	sure, you never can quite tell these days Storm
StormChaser 04.06.23	trvth
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	"Lol ddd thinks metal is more relevant than electronic" Ahah yes but not really. A metal aoty is just more relevant than idm of the month, for me at least. I bet the album is cool but what da fuck is Andrea? Tomorrow noone cares. I liked the fusion post
Ryus 04.06.23	that just seems like a strange way to just say you enjoy the album you picked more than one you didnt pick lol
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	What can I do? Bad winners meet bad losers. They started. I'm an aduuult. The depeche mode one was cool too
MarsKid 04.06.23	The metal hating itt and the panic-voting for Andrea was pretty funny, especially when the Invent Animate fans were just kinda vibin, but between the two options, Andrea had the superior album. Can't speak on Enslaved, but if you care that much, just vote for it at the end of the year my dude.
PotsyTater 04.06.23	The guys in enslaved have probably never smiled
MarsKid 04.06.23	No but I do see a lot of grimacing
tyman128 04.06.23	Invent Animate
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Its hard to smile when you are enslaved IDM dudes only fake smile with one side of the mouth, while grabbin the one evening gin
MarsKid 04.06.23	yea(?)
Cimnele 04.06.23	radiohead are idm
MarsKid 04.06.23	Sounds like something an idm fan fake-smiling with an evening gin would say !
tyman128 04.06.23	Invent Animate?
SteakByrnes 04.06.23	every music is idm
PotsyTater 04.06.23	Your electronic sub genre identification skills need some work ddd
tyman128 04.06.23	Can I drink an evening gin while I listen to Invent Animate, that's the real question here
MarsKid 04.06.23	Well apparently only idm fans fake smiling with one side of the mouth, I dunno what metal fans do with their one side of the mouth
DocSportello 04.06.23	Scaring the Hoes
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	I DO SMILE! OKAY?
MarsKid 04.06.23	thread's closed now, anyone posting after this is a one evening gin drinker
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Maybe I tried to say that the guys in enslaved do smile...as much as I'm pretty sure IDM fans often smile with both sides and genuinelly to stuff too XD just follow dudes.
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Aaah shit... "anyone posting after this is a one evening gin drinker"
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	‘The guys in enslaved have probably never smiled’ False to be fair, they smiled when I saw them play live m/ 😄 Okay, I’m back! Riffs ahrd m/ m/ m/
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Uuu demon smiled! Must be one gin's day
PotsyTater 04.06.23	Death metal band enslaved
Ryus 04.06.23	would check enslaved but i dont really like deathcore
Ryus 04.06.23	fuck i was one comment too late
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Yeah get out from the rooftop idmer
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	deaf metal more like innit, lmao 🤣 m/
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	"A metal aoty is just more relevant than idm of the month, for me at least. I bet the album is cool but what da fuck is Andrea? Tomorrow noone cares." more like copypasta of the year AMIRITE ++ irony re. the new Enslaved having heavy overlap with the flavour of the week metaltrend circuit being the reason it's rym average got tanked megacope lfg
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Well you could just answer the question amirite? Lol
PotsyTater 04.06.23	Why u so stressed triple D
Ryus 04.06.23	this is a very curious case of myopia. never seen anything quite like it
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	Andrea is an Italian electronic producer who makes a kind of ambient breakbeat confusable with IDM for mouthbreathers who spent too much time copeioiusly complaining about shit from afar and not enough reading up on it, and his latest record is one of several on this list better than the new Enslaved if you're gonna play the adult card with this much salt please learn to self-educate thank you for your time
calmrose 04.06.23	johnny bringing down the hammer
PotsyTater 04.06.23	That’s straight from the Andrea wiki
Ryus 04.06.23	deftone you can click on the album and read my wonderful review :]
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Not stressed pot, although it s stressful when you no compute. Well played Johnny with your master degree in "kind of ambient breakbeat" and its relevance in the world of electronic musica, which unfortunately won t die with your generation. Edit: this was wrong I hope idm doesn't die (wait not idm)
StormChaser 04.06.23	honestly idc where the Enslaved album ends up on year-end lists or beyond. to me it's really special and kinda ticks a lot of boxes I wanted ticking, but didn't get from other bands recently
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	@ryus Yeah I clicked and read the first paragraph while I was waiting for Johnny's polite answer. So thanks.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.06.23	damn DDD, whenever i think we've gone full mask off here, each new post proves me wrong. edging game absolutely on point yikes
StormChaser 04.06.23	well this got awkward fast DAMN
PotsyTater 04.06.23	When I no compute
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	You either compute or no compute. But, do you smile?
PotsyTater 04.06.23	Only when ur not around
Shemson 04.06.23	This conversation definitely scaring the hoes
PotsyTater 04.06.23	No not the FEMALES
DDDeftoneDDD 04.06.23	Lol that made me smile potsy. All that matters is when will we get the next kjpop sensation rev under Johnny's new signature. Anyone here to get hoes? Wrong move I'd say XD
Shemson 04.06.23	Scaring the (pota)toes
Tundra 04.06.23	the Andrea album rules
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	Andrea the player
DadKungFu 04.06.23	Andrea's quite nice, doubt it's going to have enough staying power to end up on many year-end lists
kevbogz 04.06.23	can i change my vote to invent animate
Demon of the Fall 04.06.23	No
kevbogz 04.06.23	also due in color is fantastic so far a couple of u gotta take a deep breath
