It is worth noting that several acclaimed albums are not included, which makes sense:ROSALÍA, Geese, Oklou, Turnstile, Wet Leg, Stereolabhttps://72558.substack.com/p/350-best-records-of-2025-by-thurston
talentless hack
>>128964330>a bunch of foreign polish bullshitNo thanks Thurston
>>128964455What do you mean? I only saw one polish name on the entire list.
What I like 1-150:11. Armand Hammer and The Alchemist - Mercy album LP (Backwoodz Studioz)12. Gwenifer Raymond - Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark LP (We Are Busy Bodies)21. Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out LP (Roc Nation)23. John Glacier - Like A Ribbon LP (Young)90. Mary Halvorson - About Ghosts LP (Nonesuch)101. Prolapse - I Wonder When They’re Going to Destroy Your Face LP (Tapete)129. Bridget Hayden and the Apparitions - Cold Blows the Rain LP (Basin Rock)147. William Tyler - Time Indefinite 2xLP (Psychic Hotline)
>>128964330By the time you get to 50, its already such bland crap, that is no longer worth it to waste time on, also, the fact this tard puts geese and rosalia near the top is reason enough to ignore.
2. Faith Coloccia and Daniel Menche - Smelter CD (Room40)3. Manja Ristić - Sargassum Aeterna LP (Rekem)
>faggot who made shitty music 30 years ago lists a ridiculous amount of albums from a year with two good releases tops
>>128964824I personally don't like those two, I just mentioned them as examples. Is there a personal list (yours, for example) or a list from a blog/website that you recommend?And assuming you haven't listened to most of them, how can you say they're crap?
>>128964807>129. Bridget Hayden and the Apparitions - Cold Blows the Rain LP (Basin Rock)picked that on random and played some. its some of the blandest shit ive heard.
>>128964330He spends much more time listening to music than practising?All makes sense now
>>128964881why so defensive of a stupid list of someone you dont even know?
>>128964330with this being the state of white music it makes so much sense white kids just stick to rap and trap or whatever.
>>128964886You can always train your sensitivity. And just because you don't like something doesn't mean it can't resonate with someone else. Name some albums, otherwise I can only imagine you're ragebaiting.
>>128964903You can ignore a list in seconds, it's easy, but that just shows your lack of effort in discovering new music, which is a shame.You may not like the list, but at the very least you should appreciate the effort, unless you feel some kind of envy or feels superior.I also like:160. Billy Woods - Golliwog 2xLP (Backwoodz Studioz)175. Caroline - Caroline 2 LP (Rough Trade)202. Valentina Magaletti and YPY - Kansai Bruises LP (AD 93)209. Water From Your Eyes - It’s A Beautiful Place LP (Matador)279. Kara-Lis Coverdale - Changes in Air LP (Smalltown Supersound)309. Hieroglyphic Being - Dance Music 4 Bad People LP (Smalltown Supersound)326. pôt-pot - Warsaw 480km LP (Felte)336. Lifeguard - Ripped and Torn LP (Matador)
>>128964972>>128965010shut the fuck up faggot, the list is mediocre
>>128965035
>GeeseWow a trust fund faggot listens to trust fund garbage
>>128964330>350 records worth listening to>in 2025SONIC SARCOPENIA
>let me go in depth about all these albums I listened to once this yearThis guys doesnt actually like music, just the smell of his own farts.
>>128964921>it makes so much sense white kids just stick to rap and trapit's no longer 2015, Fantano
I really fucking hate music.
>>128965952>t. average /mu/ poster
>11. Armand Hammer and The Alchemist - Mercy album LP that ones gooood
>>128964881How ? easy : because >95% of albums released yearly are mediocre, unless listening to as much music as possible is your only hobby/life goal, then its not worth it to go though all that, I've gone through this aoty bs long enough to be able to know when mid albums are being hyped. Also, I just checked the ones mentioned on this thread, through spotify, result ? = just the same bland crap I've heard 100x by now.
>>128965952https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmL9T2pRjvU
>>128964330I'm not some aggro hardcore guy that thinks Turnstile are gay or whatever but even I was underwhelmed by their new album. It was half medicore indie pop, half them ripping off themselves. I wouldn't put it in a top 350 albums list.
>>128964330Imagine if this faggot sprinkled some obscure music as a shout out, instead of pandering to friends, his legacy, and flavor of the week propsThis is the longform version of Qwentin Tarantuala's recent list, ultimately a plea to stay relevant, sad
the ranaldo things super weak. how can he only be capable of doing that same thing always
>>128965963Got em
>>128966100Assuming that 35,000 albums are released each year, 5% of that is 1,750. So there are at least that many good albums (or not mediocre) each year. How many have you listened to? Name a few, don't be afraid, no one will judge you.Otherwise, you're just the meme of the old man yelling at the clouds.You call other people's taste average but you don't show yours, maybe you don't even have any taste, you're just a troll.If you go in with such a predisposition to dislike it, what are the chances you'll like it? And what are you trying to prove to whom?
>>128964330I don't believe this nigga listened to 350 records
imma make me a substack, seems not shitted up (yet)
>>128966659he says he has a huge list of books and films also. if you do nothing but that all day, it is possible, but id find it unbearable.
>>128966421I've listened to almost 100 albums released in 2025, none left any great impression; Knocked loose, turnstile, Die Spitz, Psychedelic Porn crumpets, Maruja, Big Thief, Lorde, Hail the Sun, viagra boys, Lorde, last dinner party etc...
>>128964330Thurston Moore is a pretentious piece of shit.
okay this dude is 67. idk. the list seems like what a 25yo thurston moore would pick. why is he listening and liking harsh noise or noise pop or NYC jazz at 70yo. people inevitably change in drastic ways, some punks go to jazz, some rock guys find truth in reggae and dub and stay there, why a veteran of noise rock wants to hear bands babystepping the same shit he did 50 years ago, like what sonic/narrative relevancy has any of that today. insincere list.
>>128966683did sonic youth made this douche a millionaire?
>>128966659He listened to more, those are the ones he liked. If you think about it, it's not difficult to listen to, let's say, two a day, so a person can listen to 730+ in a year.For those who work with music, it ends up being part of the job, like research.I don't work with music, and it's not even my only hobby, but I've still listened to over 400 albums. There's a pleasure in discovering new things, and once you get into the rhythm, it becomes easier. >>128966689I don't want to be a gatekeeper, but 100 isn't that many.At least you don't think all recent music is bad. But I guarantee there's a lot of good stuff out there, you just have to let go of your preconceptions.From those, I liked: Die Spitz, Maruja, Big Thief, Viagra Boys. Post-punk revival related, you may like: Computer - Station On The Hill (Dine Alone), Eterna - Debunker (section1), FACS - Wish Defense (Trouble in Mind), Legss - Unreal (Self-released), M(h)aol - Something Soft (Merge), Pile - Sunshine and Balance Beams (Sooper), Preoccupations - Ill At Ease (Born Losers), shame - Cutthroat (Dead Oceans), Squid - Cowards (Warp), The Murder Capital - Blindness (Human Season).And guess what: 101, 326 and 336 from Moore's list
>>128966795I really liked your argument, but I didn't understand the conclusion: "insincere list"Do you think he's faking his taste? Or do you think he wants to appear very intelligent and different?
>>128964330crazy fake nonsense
>>128964455Based Polka enjoying Thurston
>>128966928i think theres some of that. ultimately who cares really, i think its cool were having this thread and discussing all this new music.
>>128967035Yes. To be honest, I've never heard of about 80% of these artists. I tried some (some not so obscure) and found them difficult, such as: 26. Nels Cline [Wilco] - Consentrik Quartet 2xLP (Blue Note / The Alstro Imprint)88. Sumac and Moor Mother - The Film cassette (Sige)At worst, some of these obscure artists will gain listeners they wouldn't otherwise have, and I think that's a cool thing for Moore to do. Rather than trying to impose his taste, in a sense: the stranger and more dissonant, the better. And what's strange to him is much stranger than it is to normal listeners.I just noticed that there is a description text for the list [pic]
>>128967225i liked a handful from the list i went one by one. Arp lady i think was serviceable, Hammer/Alchemist hit when i was woodworking it fit so nicely might buy the LP, Karen Willems too, Brunhild Ferrari. Isnt the Consentrik thing just jazz? wasnt particularly moved by any of the harsh noise projects.
>>128967225>>128967406this cline i liked much morehttps://nelsclinetrio.bandcamp.com/album/sad
>>128964330>his band is called Sonic Youth>They are old uncs
>>128967406It's jazz but a really weird one [Jazz-Rock, Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Jazz]I'll try Karen Willems and Brunhild Ferrari. Thanks
>>128964824You've never listened to or even heard of most of these albums and yet you assert that they're "bland crap". Also, Geese and Rosalia are NOT on the list so you obviously hardly looked at it + you don't understand English because it specifically says in the OP they're not on it.
>>128965132You should really work on learning how to read.
>>128964972You sound raped
>>128967816>>128967816The more you talk, the more ignorant, uneducated, and stupid you sound. You're not cool, you're just rude and dumb.
>>128965010>Billy Woods - Golliwogutter shit>>128966795sy and that kind of art type indie guy have narrow views
>>128964330Turnstile and Wet Leg are utter garbage. Based Thurston>>12896480712. Gwenifer Raymond - Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark LP (We Are Busy Bodies)Probably my favorite album of the year.Always nice to see Mary Halvorson on these lists.161. Kaevum - Ultra LP (Darker Than Black)Based.
LISTEN TO THE FUCKING LIST AND RECC SHIT
penis
>>128964330Poser shit. He's just namedropping shit he probably only half-assed listened to for a couple of seconds. His old ass does not have the time to digest this much music.
this titeAnnie Bloch And Emily Wittbrodt - The Mendelssohnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUUjUQsd720
>>128971749well this is ruling my shit hard. recced it with only 5 seconds of listening, but now 15 min in its truly good, didnt think theyd include extended technique, their sonic palette is broad i like that. id like to see them make some recomposed, shrank down, sorabji
>>128964330I think he's really great at recommending bad albums, and I wish more people would torture themselves listening to them. Thanks anon, you're a good person.
>>128971738Asses don't digest anything. I'm sure he listens with his ears. If you listen with your ass the same way you talk, well, that's unusual.T. Moore: ~60 solo albums since 1990, member of ~30 bands, Sonic Youth being one of the most influential in rock history = a poser. But the one who really understands music is a random hater baiter from /mu...
>>128971966You can thank him. I don't know if I would like most of the albums, but at least I recognize his effort to share them. The most acclaimed albums are easy to find; they come to you. Someone needs to do this advanced research, and it will be useful to someone, not to people without a sense of discovery, who are afraid of what is challenging and as smart as a door, like you.
I once bought this piece of shit because there was a Thurston Moore's recommendation on the hype sticker. You're not going to fool me anymore Thursty boy.
>>128972243>anon doesnt have the "pat metheny = fusionslop" command in his head alreadylol deserved
more arp shyt, its good69. Eve Matin - Transmutanciahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqVxrxLxPGw
>>128972243Poor quality baiter, you've shown us what you think. That's OK. But to evaluate the list, we'd need to listen to it, and that takes time. It's not about listening to 10 seconds deciding you won't like it, don't like and say it's crap. That's not how it works. Listen to one whole album per day (you can skip the ones you don't like) and share what you think in a year. Otherwise, you're wanting to fight but don't want to get in the ring (which would be listening). That kind of magic isn't possible. And to your sadness and surprise, not everyone will be as reluctant and closed-minded as you. Being contrarian doesn't make you smart, it just shows how petrified your taste is, which should serve as a warning.
>>128972452stop bickering and post more shit you liked, homo
>>128972192John peel radio program
now ill listen to this music, mr moore
>>128966795>>128966928these
>>128964330so he just listened to one or two records a day and threw out the shitters?
>>128972950it's an ai list. no name on this list is real
>>128964330350 albums lmao. I'm 100% certain this nigger haven't listened once from start to finish to 2/3 of what he listed.
>>128972950Just read it. He said that some days he listened to 10 or more. I myself have listened to 17 in a row, from 2 PM until dawn. And I don't work with music. He has more reasons to listen to so much.>>128973656"100% certain"... ubiquitous trolls are new to me.Forget your negative fixation on him and go listen to the albums, if you can, even though you've made it clear that you can't. He's just a messenger; the albums speak for themselves.
>>128973964Yeah, no thanks. It's obvious he listed many stuff he either didn't listen or just listened to them superficially without comprehending what the music is really about. That's how he ended up with a funny list in which you can find both nazi black metal (Kaevum) and things like Billy Woods or Armand Hammer.
>>128972161Even JFK had his incel moments
too much noiseslop filler
