It may have been because I thought Valtari was really forgettable, but I've just been infatuated with Kveikur since its release. Really enjoyed the Kanye, Disclosure, and Boards of Canada albums, but it wasn't really a fair fight. I don't like any of those artists as much as Sigur Ros and the bias was going to creep in.

Oh, f*ck it. The race is already pretty much decided, and more than any other release this month, my immediate response at the end of the first listen to this was to hit play again. Also, it'd be a shame if it didn't get at least one vote.
2. Deafheaven 3. Boards of Canada 4. Disclosure 5. Portugal. The Man
Like others have said previously, I expect June to be heavily represented on my list at the end of the year.

Just want to comment on how awesome the transformation in this board's taste has been. Watching all of our taste's shift over the years has been really fun to watch.

Like Clockwork is still my top choice, but Yeezus could be 1B if that's allowed. It's hard to decide. And is deafhaven really that good a metal band? Never really gave them a listen.

Over the years for some, in less than a year for others...

This is going to end up my #1 or #2 for June, and I'm halfway through my first listen.

Yes. Their sound is actually pleasant enough for people who are not typically into metal. I saw them last night and the audience didn't seem to be the usual metal crowd (fwiw, the band didn't look like a metal band at all), which I think says something about their crossover appeal. Definitely give it a try.

Bolded for truth. Put this on at a party expecting it to be turned off quickly, but it played the whole way through. The vocals are a bit dark, but the music itself is pretty beautiful.

I love putting something on a party that is a little left of the dial, expecting to get jeers, and then, surprisingly, everybody digs it. It's a good feeling.

they are as much post rock as they are metal. my first time hearing them was in post rock turntable room last year. I guess they are post metal, isn't that what they labeled Isis? but yea, they're that good.

Yeah for sure. I was 100% expecting it to get axed in seconds, but I wanted my friend to hear a song on it so I was like "f*ck it, we'll box out for just the one song and then take my phone off the player before they smash it." But instead I had people coming up and asking me who it was, what the album was called, etc.
Definitely a rarity, but pleasantly surprising when it happens.

I'm digging deafheaven. I see what you mean about being pleasant for people who typically aren't into the genre. This is definitely different from my usual taste in metal-usually go towards bands more like mastodon, animals as leaders, pantera, and between the buried and me-but good stuff nonetheless.
