Day 92

these are the eight albums that i either forgot about, came out after i had made the list, or barely missed the cut. the way i wrote my list of top twenty was extremely free of form and changed daily; i really only knew what the top five were. so certain records (noveller - desert fires, ghostface killah - apollo kids) should have been on the list but were discovered after i was almost done posting the entire list. Some albums (mi ami - steal your face) were honestly just forgot about and then remembered when it was too late.. basically all of these albums should have been on the top twenty (eight) but i am tired of writing about albums.. so here they are:
honorable mentions:
toro y moi - causers of this
A super chillwave record with all kinds of emotions and some pretty deep cuts.

rosetta - a determination of mortality 
A year ago this was on Rosettas website:
Tonight at practice we had this collective epiphany where we threw off the shackles of the whole "post-metal" thing and decided that WE'RE DONE WITH 105 BPM. BRING ON 150 BPM! So we wrote our ENTIRE NEXT RECORD in an hour, and it's the fastest, craziest, kick-in-the-nuts thing since 1999.'
Thats about right.

circa survive - blue sky noise / appendage ep 
a more mature, fantasic step forward for my favorite band that I don't talk about liking that often. then they had the nerve to follow it up with an equally as good ep. 
---
mi ami - steal your face 
there might be one song on this album that wouldn't be classified as a 'rager'.

la dispute/touche amore - searching for a pulse/the worth of the world
 Both bands are heavy hitters. Both bands singers appear on the other groups songs. Both sets of songs are really good. La Dispute takes the cake and once again makes the case that they are post-hardcores future breadwinners. Jesus, this split is incredible.

blonde redhead - penny sparkle 
On the top twenty it was between this and Beach House.. Beach House won.. But thats not to say this album isn't really good.

noveller - desert fires 
this should have been on the top twenty, I just didn't hear it till a couple days ago. Fantastic drone that evokes the heart of the Mojave Desert.
---
ghostface killah - apollo kids
this should have been on the list instead of kanye.. this shit is ten times better.
