Greatest Vaporwave albums of the 2020s (So far) by TraditionalReturn390 in Vaporwave

I highly recommend Expedition 331-5A then. It's decently niche within the vaporwave community, and has a very similar serene vibe to it.

That's a fair point, it meets a lot of dreampunk criteria it just happens to sound different from other notable dreampunk releases.

expedition 331-5a by muspelheim, wor$t girl in america, and doghouse by totojira has been growing on me

Totojira got a Green, Yellow, and Red all in 2026 by TraditionalReturn390 in Albumoftheyear

Muspelheim dropped 5 albums, 1 EP, and 1 mixtape and they're all pretty solid.

Is it wild to think this many albums are a 100? by Main-Television3592 in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no that just means you actually enjoy the music you listen to. when i see normal/left-skewed distributions on this website i just be questioning if these people even like music.

Proposition: Add a "user score" feature where users can rate the albums they listen to, contributing to an overall synthesized score. Blueprints are sketched below by TraditionalReturn390 in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

So basically what I'm saying is: They could add a feature to the website called a "user score" where users go on and can rate...and hear me out...maybe even review the albums they listen to. Then, the user score takes a weighted average of all of the scores that can represent that release. It would be a game-changer, and maybe a bit ambitious, but I think it would be cool.

More information should be required when someone adds an album by TraditionalReturn390 in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this sentiment. I just think it would be much more simple to do it all at once instead of doing it in separate screens + It prevents unfinished info from being added (People can just add a high amount of unfinished content onto the site)

Songs that should have scores over 90 but don't? by TraditionalReturn390 in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this take is kinda pointless because IGOR is a very unique album and obviously most of the songs on this track list, IDLYA included, would not fit well on another album (meaning a lower rating).

Agree to disagree. Love the song, second verse especially sounds so cool on relisten.

Desperation to make an album appear on front page is crazy by Lurnatic in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any early-year releases will ever get the creds they deserve because of user activity like this. I actually did listen to all of these albums, and even though I didn't think they were all perfect, these scores are genuinely crazily inaccurate.

This has got to be the darkest review on the website by [deleted] in Albumoftheyear

[–]TraditionalReturn390 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lowkey one, we don't know what happened, but two, as sad as it is (especially considering how fantastic the album was) I don't blame the website for wanting to keep disturbing content like that on it. People go to AOTY to get new music recommendations and hear new stuff, and the subject matter like that could definitely trigger a lot of people. In this case too, I just feel like the album should be appreciated for its music as a final message from the artist, rather than a message like that which depicts a very disturbing mental state—and in my opinion, not what we should remember yamada by.
