Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

My biggest takeaway from a lot of these lists - I really need to give that Geese album another listen, cause I thought it was solid but not AOTY material

It's not bad, for what it is — it kinda sounds like what we might have had if Animal Collective or The Dodos had abducted Rufus Wainwright in the mid-2000s and forced him to be their lead singer instead of allowing him to have a successful solo career. So it's interesting, but I think your initial reaction was right, it's not AOTY material unless you're really, really into that sort of thing.
I also agree with you about The Quietus, btw — I'm glad they exist, and a lot of avant-garde/experimental artists might not appear on anybody's year-end list at all if not for them, but if you don't know that going in you might end up listening to some pretty inaccessible stuff in the hopes of "educating" yourself, when in fact your tastes are really not all that conventional and you probably shouldn't worry so much about not knowing who 80 percent of these people are.

As someone who typically isn't into that kinda stuff, I think it's a great record, and hope it ends up as most publication's AOTY—
Winter & Geese are on a roll—
Most exciting rock act out of NYC in far too long—

Yeah, me too. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a fairly standard indie rock record this much. There are some excellent krautrock-inspired jams, some wonderfully weird ballads, and Cameron Winter’s eccentric vocals steal the show. For what it is, it’s an impressively varied record and every track is a banger.
