What was wrong with music in 2016?

There was a decent amount of good music, but not a whole lot that blew me away.

 

[Yoda]

The XX bout to get shyt lit.

 

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

SOHN album the Rennen drops on the 15th of this month

 

[Adam3000]

Big start to the year already leaked:

Run The Jewels 3
Cloud Nothings
Matthew E White
Foxygen
The XX

I've only listened to the RTJ so far. Liked it, but its their 3rd best album.

Not sure when I'm gonna get to the others. Only excited about the Cloud Nothings, not really pumped for the XX because both of the first two singles had weak as fukk vocal melodies.

 

[Brozay]

new XX was just whatever imo, I just don't get the huge appeal with them

[Adam3000]

New Japandroids out


Don't care for the vocals on this first song but the music is pretty great

 

[Adam3000]

Just gave a proper listen to that new XX

shyt was fire, yall are crazy!

They have never been great songwriters and I do think there is a lack of truly compelling melodies, but cot damn Jamie XX did his thing behind the boards

Solid 8.5/10 this is gonna get some decent spin

 

[Adam3000]

Listened to the Cloud Nothings

Another really good album from them.

The 3rd album to make the list so far in 2017
