The Money Store (or Exmilitary) by Death Grips

 

I love that you dropped DG up in this bitch.

I think they've got to be the best new band since Lightning Bolt.

Haha, yeah. Lightning Bolt. Fucking badass band. Wonderful Rainbow is a great album.

Death Grips is fuckin' revolutionary. I really can't listen to anything right now except them for some reason. I try to branch out to other stuff, then just end up back at Get Got and Hustle Bones.

lightning bolt started in 1994 and are remotely popular since 2003. you really think there was nothing at least as good for nearly a decade? really?

Oh man, I like gear fetishism as much as the next guy but that cover is just over the top. Looks like an audio gear catalog front page. (And yes, please, I want all that stuff on it).

I love this album, Rebotini is a good musician. If u like Analord Series or Cephax Acid Crew, u must like it & this album is so acid! ;-) But Rebotini has his own style.

Hip hop band samples punk and gets a live drummer and becomes best thing since sliced bread?

First off. They didn't release their debut until 99.

Secondly, no. Not really. I'm very picky.

Probably one of these:

 

The Money Store (or Exmilitary) by Death Grips

Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian by Prefuse 73

Rifts by Oneohtrix Point Never

Eccojams vol. 1 by Chuck Person (Oneohtrix Point Never)

Wow, how did I forget Trademark Ribbons of Gold by VHS Head and Splazsh by Actress?

edit:

also probably something by Animal Collective

either burial - untrue or sean mccann's s/t tape from last year

Notable standouts for me also include

Burial - Untrue

The Tuss - Rushup Edge

Clark -Totems Flare

Bibio - Vignetting The Compost

Untrue would probably be one for me, but I haven't listened to it enough yet. I should get around to that sometime.

I never understood all the hype and whoreship for the burial - untrue album

that kindred track is better than anything on it for me

guys, keep up the good work. this thread is hilarious

wow. good question. I think any answer to this would need serious thought. BRB.

alright no brain power off the top of my head

1. Max Tundra parallax error

Actress Splazsh

Flying lotus cosmogramma

Autechre Quaristice

Prefuse 73 ampexian

honor mention

Radiohead in rainbows

Quaristice though has a very special place in my heart. That year was extremely turbulent emotionally, mentally, existentially. It was also the first Autechre album released since I had become obsessed with them... Max Tundra + Actress have been more influential overall on musical thought for me since then

Genesis Bending gets an honorable mention for being the damn funniest album I've heard from the last five years.

First thinking, has gotta be between these two:

this.

almost everything grouper has done during the last 6 years, it's hard to pick an album cause i see her project as a whole but i guess AIA is quite representative.

another special one that i'm sure ill remember for long is the album by brian sullivan from mouthus, united waters "your first ever river":

lots of OPN mentioned, interesting, i've been listening to returnal recently and its not bad but nothing amazing really, im not really a fan of this nostalgiacore-revival fad, but i guess ill give rifts a thorough listen.
