I need to get back into this and I apologize to whoever sent me something last time I did this, I have no idea what it was and it's way too far back to find it now.
For me, I'm gonna do the overall's best albums of the 2010s since we just finished up the decade, see what I missed. Here's the top 10 of what I haven't heard:
Hand. Cannot. Erase - Steven Wilson
Strange Mercy - St. Vincent
Pure Comedy - Father John Misty
Section.80 - Kendrick Lamar
Joy As An Act Of Resistance - Idles
Saturation III - Brockhampton
Exmilitary - Death Grips
Saturation II - Brockhampton
Alvvays - Alvvays
Attack On Memory - Cloud Nothings _________________ Progressive Rock
I've heard a couple Rush albums and didn't particularly care for them. The two Rush songs I can name (2112 and Tom Sawyer) are both very silly and feel like they're trying to wow you with how great the musicianship is. I also dislike Geddy Lee's vocals a lot. Which is why I'm surprised to say that I enjoyed this more than Yes. The first three tracks are pretty great, and the closer wasn't bad but for some reason I didn't enjoy it as much. Overall I'm not sure how to rate it, because while it was fine it's not something I'd usually go back to. One thing that's holding me back from saying I liked it is that saying you like Rush is kind of uncool. I'm already very uncool, but if I say I like a Rush album what will happen to me then? I'll give this one another listen at some point because I'm not entirely sure how to rate it, maybe at that point I'll be more willing to admit I like it.
Welcome back Rocky! This is one of my favorite albums of the decade. In fact, I rate it a rare 10/10.

Just give in to your inner dorkness! You're already on a music forum site! How much further can you go! ๐
And this is a GREAT Rush album. For me, Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres are their two best by quite a margin although I'm fond of all their 70s stuff.
I may have to join you guys in a bit with this. ๐ I think I was suppose to review some Danny Brown...
I LOVE this. One of faves from the 2010s easily. Which isn't very surprising considering my love for Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock and that whole Def Jux label. this fits right in with that stuff. DArk, inventive, and massively creative spinning dystopian tales. Highly recommended.
Psyched you sorta kinda dug Hemispheres. If you're looking to increase your coolness quotient, you really can't beat rolling a joint, picking up a six of PBR and throwing on some Lynyrd Skynyrd...

If I were to take part with the top 10 of BEA's 2019 overall will people be happy?
Absolutely! You can literally use any chart or list, as long as you maintain ten options to pick from each turn. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
Damn fine abstract hip hop that is layered with lyricism and backed with good beats. Aesop, Slug, Blueprint, and Vast Aire are involved, so that should give you an indication of what to expect on here.
I'm always impressed when a hip hop artist can repurpose a well-known rock song hook.
With more people joining in the game right now than ever (which is awesome) I'm going to go back to adding on the lists I get things from, so everybody can get some good resources. I need to pull some more off of this incredible list.
Vuemorph- In Expectancy of the Monumental Awe
Marble Sky- The Sad Return
Velehentor - ะะตัะตะฒะฐะป ะััะปะพะฒะฐ
Kenneth Gaburo- Music for Voices, Instruments & Electronic Sounds

Papa M- Live From a Shark Cage
Prince Douglas - Dub roots
Vanilla - Sweet Talk
Cardiacs - The Obvious Identity
Dave Burrell - Echo

When I found out none of these guys were black or monks I was a little disappointed hehe. Anyway I'm glad I listened to the bonus tracks as I liked them a little bit more/suited them more. I went back thinking maybe they grew on me more but the first bit if this album felt more like hacks of better artists but as the album went on they blossomed into something interesting in their own right. I feel like Beck must've sampled this groups lead vocals, but can't isolate it from memory. I'm stuck somewhere between these guys being awesome or hacks. It's probably what non-RHCP fans feel like. I'm on the outside looking in finally. Musically ok, tone/fuzz/energy great. At times I thought if you like VU, you'll likely like this. I'll give it a 4/80.

You make a good point! And I'm already a fan of other uncool bands like Liturgy and The 1975 so this can't be worse right? Like I said, it definitely needs another listen. I know it's under 40 minutes but it felt like it flew by even faster than that so I think I missed a lot. More so than with other genres these prog albums feel like they don't reveal much initially. I might check out Farewell to Kings after that, I'll need to listen it for this game eventually anyway. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
