best of ⭐ Rem-embering 2018 ​⭐ THE END!

[Staryu]

I really want to see Paddington 2 because of all the good reviews but haven't got around to it yet. Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians are probably overrated b/c people are so happy to see the diversity but I still really enjoyed them   Liberation and Shawn Mendes were okay albums 

[potent]

Liberation

Masochist is the best track though wyd?

 

Trench was cute but I don’t remember some of the songs tbh.

[madonnas]

Oh and Thor was cute but I will forever be disappointed by cate blanchetts performance. She truly phoned it in.  

[TRF.]

Oh @ Robyn  I'm sad Baby Forgive Me it's one of your least faves, but I kinda get it. Still though! Love that she's on your ranking at all.

[Lazuli]

The CHVRCHES and St. Vincent domination  Hopefully you have some of CHVRCHES' debut stuff cuz it's their best album  

Black Panther and Thor  I did not give a **** about the Thor franchise but Ragnarok was not too bad. Cate Blanchett >>>>

Trench is cute

[Brandon]

 

Black Panther ?

Christina & TOP 

[-mUsIcLoVeR-]

Christina & twentyone pilots!

[kelly-clarkson]

Always In Between is cute but is so generic. I don't even remember how most of the songs of the album sound

Liberation it's amazing!!

Deserve on your trinity

The album deserves to be higher on the list but Accelerate is so bad that I won't blame you 

[Remmy]

Time for Day 23  Gonna do the same thing I did yesterday, then my updates

will (likely) be back to normal for the final 3 days. Here's my plan:

January 7th || Best Songs (Pre-2018) [#10-01] • Best Films (#03-01) • Best Albums (#03-01)

Best Films

[[ #12 - 08 ]]

 

 

12. The Spy Who Dumped Me [B+]
11. Deadpool 2 [B+]
10. Game Night [B+]
This trio is so much fun and each one features a lovable main cast that will keep you consistently laughing. I just think

there's a tiiiny bit of something missing from them, and it's hard to pinpoint what that is. Though with Deadpool 2 specifically,

I will say that I was slightly underwhelmed after the final preview ranked #1 on my Best Trailers list, and Deadpool was in

my 2016 Best Films runner-up spot.

 

9. Ralph Breaks the Internet [A-]
8. Ant-Man and the Wasp [A-]
Both of these are very solid sequels that are better than their predecessors (which were also quite good.) They took the same

characters and put them in new situations that kept me completely entertained. I especially wasn't expecting Ant-Man 2 to

be near this spot, but it really had me on a high speed ride up until the credits started rolling.

OK, you cannot say that Dust Bynne's album is better than Cupcakke's.  I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT.

Yes I do  But only 3 songs because honestly that album didn't give me what I needed, the CHVRCHgoers overrated her (idk their fanbase name, if they even have one)

I enjoyed the first Thor, the second one was boring and a mistake, then they picked it up for #3! Cate is solid in general, however she didn't really serve much this time around.

Omg you are a BULLY! I actually liked ha more than I thought I would

[potent]

I Can Talk and Shadow Days are great tracks

 

[Remmy]

Best Albums

[[ #14 - 08 ]]

 

 

14. MØ 'Forever Neverland' [[Great]]
Trinity: 1. Blur • 2. If It's Over • 3. Nostalgia
Bottom 3: 10. Purple Like the Summer Rain • 11. Mercy • 12. Trying to Be Good
The first album I've heard from her. It's pretty fun and satisfying, there's 2 slower songs that kinda mess up the

flow (and are simply not as strong overall) but aside from that, there's plenty on here to keep you happy.

 

13. Various Artists 'The Greatest Showman: Reimagined' [[Great]]
Trinity: 1. A Million Dreams • 2. Never Enough • 3. The Greatest Show (Panic!)
Bottom 3: 11. The Greatest Show (Pentatonix) • 12. Come Alive (Craig David) • 13. Rewrite the Stars
The original soundtrack is unbothered, this one is still nice though! Well, the deluxe tracks are pretty useless.

P!nk easily did the best job and picked the best song to cover as well.

 

12. Panic! at the Disco 'Pray for the Wicked' [[Great]]
Trinity: 1. (F*ck a) Silver Lining • 2. Hey Look Ma, I Made It • 3. Say Amen (Saturday Night)
Bottom 3: 9. Roaring 20s • 10. King of the Clouds • 11. The Overpass
It's not really anything new from Brendon, but it's strong enough and might round out my

Panic! discography trinity (still trying to decide whether it's better than DoaB.)

 

11. Jon Bellion 'Glory Sound Prep' [[Great]]
Trinity: 1. Blu • 2. The Internet • 3. Mah's Joint
Bottom 3: 8. Let's Begin • 9. Cautionary Tales • 10. Adult Swim
His 2016 release, The Human Condition, was excellent and one of my favorite albums of that year. While I'll

admit Glory Sound Prep is a step down from that, it's not a far fall down. There's a nice amount of experimenting

on here and Jon is still at the top of his game in terms of producing.

 

 

10. Kacey Musgraves 'Golden Hour' [[Amazing]]
Trinity: 1. Oh, What a World • 2. Happy & Sad • 3. Love Is a Wild Thing
Bottom 3: 10. High Horse • 11. Golden Hour • 12. Rainbow

This came out in MARCH and I only listened to it in DECEMBER. I'm a fool! It already reached my top 10 in those

few weeks, imagine where this would be if I was actually on time... anyway, Kacey really did what she had to do.

 

9. Now, Now 'Saved' [[Amazing]]
Trinity: 1. Window • 2. Holy Water • 3. Yours
Bottom 3: 10. Saved • 11. Can't Help Myself • 12. Set It Free
I've never even HEARD of them before 2018 and now they landed in my top 10 of the year, isn't that wild? This is an album

full of Summery anthems that have such a nice vibe to them. Their sound is something my music library has been craving.

 

8. Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper 'A Star Is Born OST' [[Amazing]]
Trinity: 1. Is That Alright? • 2. Always Remember Us This Way • 3. I'll Never Love Again
Bottom 3: 14. Maybe It's Time • 15. Why Did You Do That? • 16. Before I Cry
Surprise!!! You thought this was gonna be #1, or at least top 5? Well, you were wrong  I loved this soundtrack

a ton and there's so much to enjoy, but the remaining releases on this list were just too much competition for ha.

Also, while I don't dislike my bottom 2, I do think they're slightly weak and sunk my score a little bit.

 

 

BEST ALBUMS (so far): Top 36

ASIB and Golden Hour

I did actually think ASIB would be your #1, so I'm not really sure who will snatch it now, maybe Troye or Janelle or CHVRCHES?

[Staryu]

Game Night top 10  here for it, Leave a Trace in your pre-2018 songs  mess @ you putting High Horse in your bottom 3 from GH  I love it so much, and yes I'm surprised ASiB soundtrack isn't even in your top 5

[JGibson]

Leave A Trace + Shadow Days + I Can Talk + Still Feel Like Your Man 

[lhdang2000]

Bohemian Rhapsody not top 20 and Love, Simon not top 10? 

List cancelled.

At least you acknowledge that L,S > CMBYN tho. 

 

I really thought ASIB would be top 5 at least.  

 

[Legend E]

Goodbye at ASIB being only #8 flop liddo  

[Lazuli]

Deadpool 2 was a cute gorl

nnn your top songs list is really just 5 artists with their entire discography in it huh? Leave a Trace and Digital Witness are the best  

Forever Neverland and Pray For the Wicked are solid but not their strongest efforts

Golden Hour  How did you manage to skip out the entire hype this had on ATRL when it came out? 

ASIB  #8 is just fine  

[Brandon]

 

Deadpool 2, Game Night & Ant-Man and the Wasp 

Panic! 

 

[Green]

Golden Hour, ASIB soundtrack

Best Films

[[ #07 - 04 ]]

 

Getting closer to my absolute faves! 

[[ Eligiblity period: October 1st, 2017 - December 21st, 2018 ]]

 

 

07. Blockers [A-]

Released: 04/06/2018 || RT: 83% / MC: 69

Starring: Leslie Mann, John Cena, Kathryn Newton

Blockers had a spot in my top 3 for months though after my 2nd viewing, I didn't really enjoy it as much and had to knock it

down. I still think it's a fun time, the plot may revolve around teenagers having sex but it's done in a way that's relatively fresh

and modern. Pretty much the whole main cast did a solid job at playing into their roles.

 

06. Incredibles 2 [A-]

Released: 06/15/2018 || RT: 94% / MC: 80

Starring: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Eli Fucile (voices)

Only took 'em 14 years but they finally gave us the sequel we've been asking for! I was pretty satisfied with this. I needed a

few minutes to adjust to their new HQ looks, however the Parr family is still lovable and honestly, the pacing is way better

than the original (though I'm not sure which film I prefer at this point.)

 

05. Coco [A-]

Released: 11/22/2017 || RT: 97% / MC: 81

Starring: Anthony Gonzalez, Benjamin Bratt, Gael García Bernal (voices)

This was actually my #1 for a large amount of the year. but at the end of the day I felt like my top 4 were slightly more enjoyable.

When the trailer dropped I was drawing similarities to 2016's Moana, which I thought was very overhyped, but whew this one is

way superior! I cried 3 times LOL! Probably in my Disney top 3 for the decade, not counting Pixar.

 

04. Mission: Impossible - Fallout [A-]

Released: 07/27/2018 || RT: 97% / MC: 86

Starring: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Simon Pegg

I started the Mission: Impossible movies in 2015 when I watched 1-4 in the same night, and then went to see #5 in the afternoon...

and wow this series is still so damn good. In fact, this is actually my favorite so far. The stakes are higher, there's more twists and

the stunts are INSANE. Also, it really takes some talent to make a 2.5 HOUR MOVIE and have it not be boring at all. Plus Henry

Cavill is at his peak hotness in this omg 6>4>3=5>>1>>>>2

Well yeah, pretty much  I've already acknowledged that

Panic!'s best album is still Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die we been knewwwww

I listened to High Horse months back but was unimpressed with it, and I think one of the slower songs... don't know which. Then I watched AJayII react to ha after the Grammy noms and enjoyed those snippets.
