Crash during Mania: Please break up. Crash during Stardust: Well shit.

Nice pics Crash, here's my favorite albums of 2023 so far: 1.) Babymetal- The Other One 2.) Dwellings- Little Garden 3.) Paramore- This Is Why 4.) Periphery- V: Djent Is Not A Genre! 5.) Covet- Catharsis 6.) Boygenius- The Record 7.) Cattle Decapitation- Terrasite 8.) Enforced- War Remains 9.) Entheos- Time Will Take Us All 10.) Fall Out Boy- So Much (For) Stardust

The new QOTSA is not half bad imo, I suggest giving that bad boy a spin.

I feel like Fall Out Boy's record is pretty hard to defend because some tracks are just kinda dumb fun but then again, FOB in general has always been a dumb fun band. You either get it or you don't, and I'm glad to hear that you do.

Glad to see Fall Out Boy on the list

Ah, classic Crash was what I needed this morning.

I'd add RAYE's "21st Century Blues" to the conversation as well. What a gut-punching, chilling pop and R&B album. Completely agree on "Weathervanes". So far it's the album to beat this year in my mind.

You've gotta try out the new Mckinley Dixon my dude. It's my aoty easily (Paramore and Algiers finish out my top 3).

Even a Fall Out Boy hater like myself can admit that this was a surprisingly decent year for them.

Thanks for showing Jason Isbell some love! The man has consistently been the greatest artist of modern-day country for over a decade now, and people still don't talk about him enough!

I go with the future mom jeans one.:) Would add Lael Naele, Susanne Sundfor, Labrinth, Karen Jonas, Jessie Ware, Arlo Parks and Raye!

mine so far? 1: Pierce The Veil - The Jaws Of Life 2: Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust 3: Dopamine - Deficiency 4: Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden 5: Post Malone - AUSTIN 6: Hot Milk - A Call to The Void 7: Escape The Fate - Out Of The Shadows

I haven’t heard too many of those but the only ones I’ve heard that I actually enjoyed were Foo Fighters, Metallica and Jelly Roll. I understand if the Jelly Roll album can come off as too preachy in places but that’s my personal opinion.

My personal favorite album of the year is Charlotte Cornfield's Could Have Done Anything. It's just a really good alt-country/singer-songwriter/folky album that I really enjoy.

I saw Nuovo Testamento open for Molchat Doma and they burned the house down. Incredible live set one of the strongest opening acts I've ever seen

Even with some heavy hitters it’s going to take a lot to top that Jason Isbell for AOTY

My favourite so far came from cheerily depressed and angry post-hardcore-ish Scottish band Slime City, who accurately describe themselves as a band for people who "like singing and also fighting". Their debut album Slime City Death Club includes some of the best songs from their previous single releases, like "Dial Up Internet is the Purest Internet" and the existential anthem "You and Everybody that You Love Will One Day Die", alongside great new tracks like "NASA T-Shirt" (I see you wearing your NASA T-Shirt, so name five of their bureaucratic missteps!) and "Glasgow is a Shithole" which is a blistering indictment of, and ode to, their hometown.

Edit: Maybe just include a list in the video description cause there's a few you didn't specifically name lol Hey Crash what was the album you brought up right before Ruston Kelly on this? You forgot to mention the band name or album name lol. I look for albums by artists recommended by critics like you and Luke in my local library district as a way to introduce myself to new music.

The weakness is my album of the year so far it is amazing

Surprised Angel Electronics isn't here.

The goth pop artist with the butterfly album cover art. how do you spell their name?

What about Model/Actriz Dogsbody? Best industrial record I've heard in a long time

I've only listen to like 5 of these albums

Question what was the first country album mentioned

Skating Polly's Chaos County Line is way up there for me this year

when you say "haven't even showered yet" do you mean this year so far?

Listened to the Black Honey album A Fistful of Peaches?

Is It? by Ben Howard is my best of the year so far

Whats the name of the goth pop record?

As a rock fan I have only heard five albums from this year but I am looking forward to the new blink album if that comes out this year that is and the last Sum 41 album but my ranking for them is 1. But Here We Are 2. In Times New Roman 3. This Is Why 4. So Much (for) Stardust 5. Cracker Island

Born Under A Mad Sign - Church Of Misery

No hot mulligan? Very sad

It seems like Jigglypuff wanted to comment on two or three of those albums.

Worst album will be from Puddle of Mudd. Its not even out yet and already I’m calling it

Cattle Decapitation all the way

Floating ghost kirby approves

I wish I knew the names of said albums.
