JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.23	[edit wow that comment never happened ha¿ha?]
Ryus 07.03.23	dreamweaver i suppose
someone 07.03.23	Johnny you haven't even heard Squid
PotsyTater 07.03.23	And I haven’t even heard dreamweaver lol
JohnnyoftheWell 07.03.23	"no heard squid wah" anatomically incorrect partially because i did the idiot and listened to it, mainly because anyone halfway familiar with the squawk and tropes of that post-jankwave has basically heard it a priori
Ryus 07.03.23	squid mid

JesperL 07.04.23	koris check dreamweaver and change ur vote
JohnnyoftheWell 07.04.23	this is the anointed One Time of the Year where i agree with jesper on anything, and if it's ruined by a jock metal act's passable riff on Mike fuckin Patton and daft punk, this whole site can get tae fuck buying cheesecake 50gp
MarsKid 07.04.23	Y'know what Demon, I'll meet you there Ostraca - Disaster Losing battle but who cares let's go

MarsKid 07.04.23	One possibility is undeniably the more entertaining one, I go where it goes :^D
PotsyTater 07.04.23	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
PotsyTater 07.04.23	Brb checking dreamweaver
Zac124 07.04.23	Avenged Sevenfold - Life Is But a Dream...
Sinternet 07.04.23	I VOTE DREAMWEAVER

JohnnyoftheWell 07.04.23	"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" l o l primo poser content lfg
PotsyTater 07.04.23	I think that needs to be posted at least once on every further iteration of this series
neekafat 07.04.23	A7X, Ben Howard a v close second
JohnnyoftheWell 07.04.23	you had one fucking job
porcupinetheater 07.04.23	Sleep Token - Pick Me Up Some Edam
PotsyTater 07.04.23	This is actually the most embarrassed I’ve ever been of this site
Pikazilla 07.04.23	gg wp dreamweaver you had a nice run a7x winning a sput aotm is certainly a turn of events
PotsyTater 07.04.23	Might have to spite change my vote to sleep token as well let me sleep on it
porcupinetheater 07.04.23	Make a wish upon a pentagram in the night sky
izakaya 07.04.23	don't think I've listened to any of these except half of the Cum album will go check a7x now
Drifter 07.04.23	dreamweaver
AlexKzillion 07.04.23	have a hard time believing andrea or yune pinku or dreamweaver (tbd) win these if people actually did vote for their favorite albums and didn't gang up to stop the sput flavor of the month album from winning. the value in these lists to me has always been just seeing a concise list of user recommended albums that dropped in said month, with the albums getting multiple votes and/or votes from people whose taste is similar to mine being stuff i should at least take a look at if I hadn't already. the winner is hardly important though its cool to give those typically lesser known artists some spotlight.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.04.23	Yune Pinku hype is the only valid hype of the year so far
PotsyTater 07.04.23	“ have a hard time believing andrea or yune pinku or dreamweaver (tbd) win these if people actually did vote for their favorite albums and didn't gang up to stop the sput flavor of the month album from winning.” Oh 100%
PotsyTater 07.04.23	Yeah I agree Yune pinku was an exception that was 100% genuine but Andrea was a lot of organized spite votes and i mean I voted for dreamweaver without even hearing it so yeah
normaloctagon 07.04.23	Godflesh - Purge
Spec 07.04.23	avenged sevenfold for the win
PotsyTater 07.05.23	Steven I’ll kill you I know approximately where you live
Spec 07.05.23	Roll up graham I’m fucking waiting
PotsyTater 07.05.23	There will be a lot of rolling I’m going to start with the south west and hope for the best
normaloctagon 07.05.23	put it on world star or it didnt happen
Spec 07.05.23	I’ll be rolling on something that’s for sure.
neekafat 07.05.23	Johnny u really thot
porcupinetheater 07.05.23	Sure it’s hype and anti-hype but if those are what you use to determine what you’re listening to maybe put that aside and just check out the albums that are on here anyway that seem interesting And then embrace that a7x or Dreamweaver are better winners than, say, Squid or some shit, and we live in a beautiful world
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.23	throwback to when someone tried to brick on kayo dot as an "artsy normie pick, if anything" on a 5s skewering and then started shilling for squid
Pikazilla 07.05.23	i will toilet paper their house
Get Low 07.05.23	Anberlin - Convinced
theBoneyKing 07.05.23	Jason Isbell
Manatea 07.05.23	“manatea check dreamweaver and then change ur vote to that asap” Okay I’ll check dreamweaver. But idk if I’ll change my vote I’m sorry ily jesper
Flugmorph 07.05.23	put me to avenged
Elynna 07.05.23	Tenhi - Valkama
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	'have a hard time believing andrea or yune pinku or dreamweaver (tbd) win these if people actually did vote for their favorite albums and didn't gang up to stop the sput flavor of the month album from winning.' Sure, you're probably right - I mean, does this actually mean anything in reality tho? I did 'legit' vote for Andrea by the way. I don't generally vote tactically unless it's basically a tie between two or more albums
someone 07.05.23	at this point, asking Sunny to change my vote again just feels like i'm being a nuisance
fogza 07.05.23	i think i did vote tactically and in a totally unlegit way for andrea
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	and there's me thinking fog was the purest of users tut tut tut
Ryus 07.05.23	if you earnestvoted for andrea ily
JohnnyoftheWell 07.05.23	Andrea was an earnestrunner up for that month but hmmm in hindsight we all should have voted for Lankum
Ryus 07.05.23	wtf is jenkem
markjamie 07.05.23	Andrea was the first and only time my favourite has ever won and I refuse to believe any comment saying it was a tactical choice.
fogza 07.05.23	"and there's me thinking fog was the purest of users" perhaps my motivation was pure, did you ever think of that now demon... maybe i was thinking about all the ryus and markjamies of the world
Ryus 07.05.23	if you voted for andrea in an unearnest fashion i also love you
fogza 07.05.23	i like that this thread went from mild contentiousness to mild love
AnimalForce1 07.05.23	Adjy - June Songs Vol. 1 IDK if EPs are allowed, but Adjy remain on top for me easily
PotsyTater 07.05.23	I can’t remember if there was anything I liked better than Andrea that month, it was definitely a tactical vote but also not completely unearnest, it was definitely in the top 5 of the month
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	top 5 for me would be seriously scraping the barrel most months 😆
PotsyTater 07.05.23	Stop listening to bad albums I guess
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	I don’t listen to enough albums per month more like. Seriously dialling back is wholly intentional too
PotsyTater 07.05.23	If you listened to 5 good albums instead of 4 sput approved albums and one good album there would be no prob
Demon of the Fall 07.05.23	Idk that ‘Sput approved’ is a conscious thing, but I do spend a lot of time here so yeah… I knew that new King Gizz was likely bullshit, checked it anyway 😄
AeniasGaming 07.05.23	[deleted]
AeniasGaming 07.05.23	[deleted]
Sowing 07.05.23	Avenged Sevenfold - Life Is But a Dream...
vult 07.05.23	Put me down for the thantifaxath
PotsyTater 07.05.23	“ knew that new King Gizz was likely bullshit, checked it anyway 😄” Exactly my point lol
zakalwe 07.05.23	I’ll have to give that Dreamweaver a bash. Stick us down for Ben Howard please.
JustJoe. 07.05.23	2
Flugmorph 07.05.23	ez a7x sweep
PotsyTater 07.05.23	Evolve you smooth brained giga simp
Aberf 07.05.23	Dreamweaver - Blue Garden cuz it looks cool
DocSportello 07.05.23	D is for distort R is for remedy E is for error A is for accumulation M is for material W is for weed E is also for energy And V is for variant Er... dreamweaver!
MiloRuggles 07.05.23	Sign me up for that sweet sweet Dream Dolp Wait wait wait, I'll take one Dream/weaver/ pls
mechamagica 07.05.23	Dreamweaver
Sunnyvale 07.05.23	Get your votes in! Will leave this open for another 48 hours or so. Current contenders: DreamWeaver (13 votes) Avenged Sevenfold (12 votes) distant third-place time (4 votes each) for Tenhi and King Gizz
Sniff 07.06.23	Sarmat - Determined To Strike
Sniff 07.06.23	LFG SARMAT GANG
MarsKid 07.06.23	Spite wins either way I can't think of something more beautiful
Flugmorph 07.06.23	They got out the alts! Stop the count!
dedex 07.06.23	alright put me on dreamweaver then
Demon of the Fall 07.06.23	if Ostraca had 2 votes I'd remove mine in favour of you know what, but I ain't gonna let it fall off the list like that 'selective principles' are being observed here
Squiggly 07.06.23	I am not leaving alone my horse it is too feeble to stand on its own
Scheumke 07.06.23	Put me down for King Gizzard as a formality, this race is done it seems haha.
AlexKzillion 07.06.23	thank you for your sacrifice demon this ostraca album is a gem and a half
Spec 07.06.23	has anybody in here actually heard that dreamweaver album?
Ryus 07.06.23	many of us
PotsyTater 07.06.23	Not me
normaloctagon 07.06.23	“Stop the count” 🤣🤣🤣 Also sunny if possible please change my vote to Dreamweaver (JP) - blue garden
Spec 07.06.23	i listened to it and it’s so painfully mediocre damn she’s lucky she’s pretty
cor22222 07.06.23	Dreamweaver gots more votes than notes, intersting...
Flugmorph 07.06.23	something fishy in here
JohnnyoftheWell 07.06.23	"gots more votes than notes" delete this prog shitchat from ur personality immediately
Spec 07.06.23	bro there wasn’t a single riff it’s not even music
Ryus 07.06.23	the fewer notes an album has the better it is
Squiggly 07.06.23	I bet I would have liked Dreamweaver more if I knew anything else about breakbeat/dnb
PotsyTater 07.06.23	Or less tbh, kinda depends what styles you enjoy
Squiggly 07.06.23	I didn’t mind it but I have no frame of reference for it. I like a bit of electronic music like Burial, Andy Stott & DJ Sabrina.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.06.23	Jam Macaroom, Yeule and Dream Dolphin, simp on Dreamweaver when able
Tundra 07.06.23	DreamWeaver pretty sick to be fair, put me down for that too
normaloctagon 07.06.23	I’m so here for the rock/metal community on this site coping about losing to an atmo pop/dnb record Y’all sound like children whining about a fellow 3rd grader “cheating” in a game on the playground lmao
Ryus 07.06.23	andrea, jeromes dream, yung lean, ryuichi, yune pinku what a year for AOTM
MarsKid 07.06.23	I'm here fucking around lol, I don't think these threads have ever been this spicy :^D
Spec 07.06.23	"Y’all sound like children whining about a fellow 3rd grader “cheating” in a game on the playground lmao" who tf is y'all, there's like one person in here taking it seriously
normaloctagon 07.06.23	by my count flug is the only one here with a comment about the discrepancy that was actually clever/funny : P by contrast you have multiple that read a little more serious than i think you had wagered
JohnnyoftheWell 07.06.23	oh my shit YES we are at the point of the thread where people try to retcon their own optics i am living for this Sunny this series is the best you are a prince for keeping it up
Spec 07.06.23	I don't think you like GET me man.
normaloctagon 07.06.23	i look forward to getting to know u better : )
Spec 07.06.23	Let’s do it bb.
Flugmorph 07.06.23	thanks for calling me funny that makes me happy : D
PotsyTater 07.06.23	“ oh my shit YES we are at the point of the thread where people try to retcon their own optics i am living for this” Tundra pretending to hate sleep token and voting dream weaver is just absolute 👌
Dewinged 07.06.23	This thread definitely wins best SROTM thread of the year. Good job people.
AlexKzillion 07.06.23	2023 ranked june > may >>> february > april > march >>>>> january at least based on a quick scroll through of each of sunny's lists
PotsyTater 07.07.23	Whatever month invent animate v andrea was is defs #2
JohnnyoftheWell 07.07.23	aoty dropped in january so that can't be last, but shit damn you would not know it from the ROTM list
Demon of the Fall 07.07.23	guessing you mean Richie's sack?
Demon of the Fall 07.07.23	oh no, it's that Gazan bollocks that was borderline unlistenable prolly
Sunnyvale 07.07.23	Voting is closed! The winner is DreamWeaver-blue garden. If you voted for that album and want to write a blurb for the feature, please drop a note here.
PotsyTater 07.07.23	Once again the patrician class of sput has come together to thwart the sputcore knuckle draggers
Demon of the Fall 07.07.23	as if anyone actually cares about Dreamweaver enough to write a blurb 😆 nice tactical voting though
PotsyTater 07.07.23	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
Squiggly 07.07.23	True
Tundra 07.07.23	"Tundra pretending to hate sleep token and voting dream weaver is just absolute 👌" but sleep token came out in May?
PotsyTater 07.07.23	How is its release date relevant to you pretending to hate it after 5’ing or 4.5’ing it when it came out
AlexKzillion 07.07.23	is it too late to change my vote to dreamweaver?
PotsyTater 07.07.23	Lmao Sunny genuine question why don’t you have any 1’s?
someone 07.07.23	Dreamweaver winning is like Joe Biden winning. folks didn't vote for it cause it's the best, but because the other choice was so shit
JohnnyoftheWell 07.07.23	Saying that as a Squid voter is literally the equivalent of bashing the dems as a crypto libertarian
AlexKzillion 07.07.23	coulda been worse coulda been gizzard
PotsyTater 07.07.23	If it was neck and neck between a7x and jizz lizz I would absolutely strat vote for a7x
Sunnyvale 07.07.23	@Pots, it's a valid question. I think some combination of actively avoiding albums I fully expect to hate, and having a fairly forgiving attitude to things I find mediocre to bad. I actually hadn't realized I never 1'ed anything, in hindsight that Maroon 5 album totally deserves it.
someone 07.08.23	Brother over here shilling for every dime-a-dozen j-rock derivative, cannot accept a trend of bands utilising music theory majors for art punk
JohnnyoftheWell 07.08.23	for every j-rock band you see on sputnik there are 100 marginally inferior variants you ain't seeing for every trendy post-punk band you see on sputnik jaysus will you lot shut the shit up about every trendy post-punk band on sputnik this is the worst gotta catch em all of all time
someone 07.08.23	Then you obviously have not caught the last few dozen musical trends that grow and die once a three-year that denizens and internet hypers alike generally pedestal to too high a position in artistic expression
someone 07.08.23	At least this trend has merit to it, unlike whatever the fuck folk punk was supposed to be
zaruyache 07.08.23	put me down for king giz i guess
Flugmorph 07.08.23	its over zaru
normaloctagon 07.08.23	@someone 1.) the avenged sevenfold album was cool (i gave it a 3.5) but the dream weaver album was cooler 2.) likening this contest to the last presidential election is absolute hilarity and not in a cute way 3.) bashing folk punk to pedestal modern post punk is absolute hilarity and not in a cute way
