music junkie? into niche sounds? compelled to scream your insufferable sonic opinions into the void? love to quantify your loosely held beliefs with obscure meaningless metrics?
AOTY is a great way to discover, ponder, and ruminate on music of all kinds.

I like it to discover new music. I don’t write reviews or anything, but I like seeing all new releases in one place and I could dive deeper if I wish.

a godsend for rabid cataloguers and music nerds. I find the best jams on there and it’s just a dream the way its organized. if you know what this website is i’m sure you are just as annoying as I am

Please check my top pinned rec: STARTING A WEEKLY ALBUM REVIEW CLUB WITH YOUR FRIENDS
I was absolutely in a rut with music listening for years. I’d throw on some algorithmic playlists, and almost always felt bored by the vast majority of stuff that popped up. Plus, algorithms in streaming have actually gotten worse: on Spotify, they’re essentially funnels that keep leading you down the same path.
So, we started this little club for listening to and reviewing albums. Now, personally I’m always and forever going to find a lot of music lackluster – I’ll try just about anything but the stuff that really grabs me is still in the minority. But when you’re discovering stuff together, even a bad album is part of the experience that’s worth something. Maybe you all hate it and can just vent to each other about why. Maybe someone likes it and you don’t and you can have a spirited little back-and-forth about that. Either way, there’s a new album getting picked next week for you all to try. And eventually you’re gonna land on some stuff that you really like!
