Image result for maybe she snapped

 

Solid set! Reniego wouldn't be my pick (and I feel like Que No Salga La Luna does what you Reniego better based off your comment) but Rosalia can't do no wrong! 

Charcoal Baby and QYURRYUS slay and yes Bartier Carti is one of the best (if not the best) banger on IoP

(BC>>BY; I said what I said :mandown:)

 

 

i like QNSLL too but i picked reniego as i think it is slightly more arresting in the high parts

and as time goes by i feel the same way re: cardi too.

bartier cardi soty

the fact that it came out in 2017 dropped it 80 spots

i don't like the rosalia album nearly as much as everyone else seems to but this song is really good, probably my favourite 

 

honestly the beyond awful grimes lyrics is part of why i like it so much n bartier cardi/american guilt/lotus are v good picks too

that's how i feel too re: rosalia, and yeah maybe i will grow to feel that way about WAP too

Unknown Mortal Orchestra :jonny5:

The new Grimes song will protmake more sense in the context of the album.

Charcoal Baby is nice.

i hope so, i feel like the whole elon musk situation has made her become stupid

Grimes, new interpol yuck cardi b :heart2:

i am never expecting anything from interpol ever but TOTBL is one of my top 10 favourite albums ever so i'll always check for them

reniego :alexz: la nueva bjork y reina de spaña snapped

Not ms mr being asmr :rip: I want to like her but I listened to one song and it didn't resonate with my spirit so I gave up.

Lotus, Charcoal Baby, Bartier Cardi (really underrated for her!), WAP, Reniego, American Guilt are all good!

 

Why don't you like the WAP lyrics?  I do like them but also I get that after her whole drama this year the concept of robot overlords is a little uncomfortable. 

they just feel super dilettante-y to me and it makes me cringe, and i'm not quite ready to appreciate the irony just yet

the 1-2-3 rosalia-grimes-blood orange punch :clap3: 

charcoal baby collecting all the acclaim whilst the album is paid dust tho :deserves:

it's what he deserves honestly

 

5 hours ago, Navyofbadgals said:

this last update made several points

American Guilt makes me feel things too

 

Maybe I have some punk characteristics about m

 

4 hours ago, Beyonnaise said:

Bartier Cardi is her best song, it goes so hard

 

The WAP lyrics are a bit on the nose but thematically they fit really well so I'm conflicted

curious to see how the album turns out

The early 2018 days of me slightly overplaying American Guilt :celestial5:

Can't get into anything Joji/Pink Guy related. There's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way. 

WAP's strong point is definitely production. 

Lamento is dramatic but that's what makes it stand out from the rest I suppose. 

exactly, and i think she does dramatic better than chill imo

That was one of my last faves from Rosalia honestly. We Appreciate Power made some points though.

take it back!!

"the girl from asmr" fdjndfj

MS MR were the reason I started paying attention to ATRL, I remember stalking the album thread for their debut .t hide

 

Points were made with American Guilt, Slow Dancing in the Dark (which was...actually good to my surprise), Lotus, RENIEGO, WAP and Charcoal Baby :clap3:

oh wow, an origin story (i only listened to the whole msmr album since i saw you had so many plays of it)

80. Derecho de Nacimiento - Natalia Lafourcade

while i don’t understand the lyrics, this is really beautiful and natalia is an excellent vocalist. i don’t know if this is a big deal or not for the genre, doesn’t seem like it, but every moment of it sounds lovely to my ears, specifically for example when the backing vocals come in towards the end.

musica nueva canción latinoamericana 

 

unnamed-1532381418-640x640.jpg

79. Canary Yellow - Deafheaven

pretty good, the last part of it is my favourite i guess. i still do not like this band very much.

musica blackgaze

78. Shoota (feat. Lil Uzi Vert) - Playboi Carti

can you even get more likable than uzi

musica trap rap

77. The End of Love - Florence + the Machine

did this dream actually happen? because if it didn’t i feel like it is a stupid idea. the harmonies in the chorus sound like going to heaven, perfectly appropriate for her signature dramatic extraness. ‘the end of love’ indeed.

musica chamber pop

 

MyDearMelancholy_-_album_by_The_Weeknd.jpg

76. Hurt You - The Weeknd

nearly went for call out my name because despite being huge i still love that song, but this one is a little darker, and his falsetto remains as stunning as ever. i don’t really have a prediction for his next release but if he’s not going to reach the mixtape heights again then i’d like to see him experiment a little more.

musica alternative r&b

 

100000x100000-999.jpg

75. Countin' Up - Rico Nasty 

i know she’s pretty popular but i noticed her thanks to tbd promo so thank u. she is so good like honestly, please come in and fill the niches of all these female rappers who are currently self-destructing.

musica hardcore hip hop

74. The Magnificent Moon - Midlife

this came out in 2017 i think, but i have to include it because i wrote it down in notes at the beginning of the year as a song to put on my year end list (the only one i ever wrote down). relistening to it, i’m glad i did because it’s a kind of smooth funky spacey psychedelic disco jam and i love it, it kind of reminds me of the ending of st. vincent’s surgeon. i just see now they apparently released a song this year too? maybe it should’ve been the one.

musica psychedelic rock

 

220px-Jorja_Smith_-_Lost_&_Found.png

73. Blue Lights - Jorja Smith

cool trip-hop influenced song on an album that doesn’t really have many interesting moments. it’s different because it feels like it has a purpose. portishead-lite

musica contemporary r&b

 

smerz_havefun.jpg

72. Half Life - Smerz

this is very deconstructed club (can you tell i’m not really feeling like writing descriptions today) .t indieheauxs ?

Deafheaven is bleh.

Shoota is heat :heart2: 

Hurt You isn't near my highlights on the ep but not bad, and blue lights is one of the less boring moments on Lost & Found.

I've been meaning to check the Natalia album, seems interesting. I don't remember much of Die Lit tbh, but that song is probably a bop.

 

Lights and The End of Love.

pretty much all of die lit are bops so that's a very easy call to make

only song per artist :katie: but you can take rico's spot as a tacit acknowledgement of everything else she's done this year

2016-2018 was basically a giant mush of bad so i can't distinguish them sorry

70. Black Paint - Death Grips

kinda boring honestly, i’m bored of death grips, but here’s their one slot per artist allotment.

musica noise rock

 

220px-Carly_Rae_Jepsen_%E2%80%93_Party_for_One.png

69. Party For One - Carly Rae Jepsen

y’all are lame for calling this too basic, or a disappointment. i think it’s shows more personality than a lot of her emotion era songs honestly.

(this was at one point a natalie portman song from vox lux cause it gave me major farrah abraham vibes which was hilarious to me but then i realised i forgot about this)

musica electropop

 

220px-Ta13oo_by_Denzel_Curry.jpg

68. VENGEANCE l VENGEANCE (feat. JPEGMAFIA & ZillaKami) - Denzel Curry

album was disappointing, but here he takes the opportunity to go hard and runs with it, with great guest spots (notably jpegmafia).

musica trap rap

 

Father%20John%20Misty:%20God%E2%80%99s%20Favorite%20Customer.jpg

67. Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest of Them All - Father John Misty

basically a beatles song, but good on father john misty for deciding to make his production actually engaging this time.

musica piano rock

 

Ye_album_cover.jpg

66. All Mine - Kanye West

controversy aside, this is pretty revealing.

musica pop rap

 

220px-Album_Golden_Hour_cover.jpeg

65. Butterflies - Kacey Musgraves

figured i might as well give her a slot to be nice, and i do actually think butterflies is pretty cute. unfortunately she kind of ruins it by making the melody bad after it was good.

musica country pop

 

0013316471_10.jpg

64. You Let My Tyres Down - Tropical **** Storm

pretty enjoyable, kinda like a less psychedelic kg&tlw. rym calls it ‘punk blues’ which sounds apt i guess. the song shows off a lot of stylistic influence throughout its runtime and it makes for a dense, wild, and interesting rock song in the rock is dead era.

musica punk blues

 

2abda027de329efdb5d192571fa0533a.1000x1000x1.jpg

63. Naysayer, Magick Obeyer - Clarence Clarity

just as late 1990s/early 2000s’d as his rina stuff, honestly can’t get enough of that specific era of throwback sound.

musica glitch pop

 

220px-Cupcakkeephorize.jpg

62. Crayons - Cupcakke

other songs have better bars, or harder flows (cartoons, quiz...), and it’s not even the lgbt theme that puts this song here, but that unbelievably sticky horn riff in the background, which is just so outright enjoyable. big ups to cartoons tho. actually lets just say: crayons / cartoons. ok and quiz

musica pop rap

 

sleep-the-sciences-1524167366-compressed1-1524186011-compressed.jpg

61. Marijuanaut's Theme - Sleep

tom v beat me to this one, but it’s a worthy choice from the album. it’s heavy and atmospheric, but still purposeful and kinda epic. the sound is easily accessible too.

musica stoner metal

party for one rustles my jimmies :smitten:

Cupcakke’s instrumentals are so underrated. That flute in LGBT was everything.

All Mine was cute but I only used it for a day or 2.

The Kacey hate is not cute.
