volition Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 i wasn't a huge fan of knock knock but the rest are pretty nice, such as legend hecker and harunemuri (which i'm gonna accredit to my proselytisation)
Eeveelution Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Quote This album was pretty instant for me but the length put me off of it for awhile, until I luckily ended up revisiting late this year which reminded me of how damn great it is. Bitch me too. 31 is a good place for her. Haru is also a talented legend. the nineteen slander tho... not on my watch! Melody has great gowns beautiful gowns
Mark Rih Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 We don't know this set but we stan MGMT from the previous one
World Eater Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Konoyo, Sex & Food, harutosyura and Knock Knock Good to know that [redacted] won after all and Koze lost
Pink Matter Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Downloaded the Unknown Mortal Orchestra album since I always see their name popping up. Same for Harunemuri. DJ Koze's album slapped though but I agree with you that the length made it hard to listen to frequently.
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 22, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 22, 2018 Haru should be higher, her vocals are breath taking!
Tom Vercetti Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Solid batch. Koze's album was slightly overrated by P4K though. Quote Great soundscapes, beautiful soundscapes A mood.
TRF. Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 DJ Koze made several points (Pick Up and Seeing Aliens namely) ugh Tim Hecker yes, tasté!
Uncatena Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 knock knock Maybe I have some techno characteristics about me, but I don't walk around calling myself techno. It's more techno to tell people you're not techno than to sit there and say that you are techno. And whatever; if you want to know what I think I am, I think I’m just a techno chick. I like to dance out. I like to throw **** around. I like to go nuts. I like to scream. I like to holler. I like to break things. I like to yell. I like to get my anger out. i still havent listened to Konoyo but im assuming its great and deserves its placement here
Body Electrician Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 MEC was good but I can't remember a lot of it... recording an entire album in French was pretty innovative though
theblackestday Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 I WILL post the next batch in two minutes no more ****וn around Let's GO!!!!!

I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE THESE BOPS OF AN ALBUMS IN YOUR TOP. PICK UP IS SUCH A CLUB JAM, I CAN'T. gives me kinda daft punk one more time vibe, don't know why. don't judgee me. A reasonable comparison because it does sound a bit influenced by the French House music they popularized, both are classics and we stan both (but Pick Up moreso) 19 hours ago, Tsareena said: don't know any from this set but I'm listening to melody's echo chamber and well let me add to my queue... really interesting -wig, thanks 19 hours ago, volition said: i wasn't a huge fan of knock knock but the rest are pretty nice, such as legend hecker and harunemuri (which i'm gonna accredit to my proselytisation) idk what you're talking about x 17 hours ago, Lazuli said: Bon voyage was ok I guess... that was an experimental record that will surpass time 11 hours ago, Eeveelution said: Bitch me too. 31 is a good place for her.

theblackestday Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 30. Kids See Ghosts - Kids See Ghosts Pop Rap, Experimental Hip Hop, Alternative R&B Quote One of the two good outcomes of the Wyoming Sessions, Kids See Ghosts sees Kanye redeeming ye's insignificance with a far more adventurous, engaging and off-the-wall approach in sound, with Kanye's production being as great as ever and deliveries from Cudi being more listenable than ever. From the beauty in the chaos of the album opener to the string of psychedelic tracks to the album's affecting, beautifully written centerpiece "Reborn" to the tribal and atmospheric standout title track, Kids See Ghosts proves to have wonderful chemistry between the two and that neither have completely lost it yet. Tops: Kids See Ghosts, Reborn, Freeee, Feel the Love Bottoms: Cudi Montage 29. Iceage - Beyondless Post-Punk, Art Punk Quote Post-punk outfit and Sky Ferreira associates Iceage return with another stellar record, in which the band explores a different direction but still retains what makes them Iceage. The fusion of more sophisticated instrumentation with the dazzling guitars and the somewhat more melodic but still rough approach to songwriting and vocals result in one of the tightest rock records of the year from one of the best modern post-punk acts. Tops: Showtime, Catch It, Beyondless, Take It All Bottoms: Pain Killer (featuring crackhead) 28. Young Fathers - Cocoa Sugar Indietronica, Neo-Soul, Art Pop Quote Unlike certains, this album ended up sneaking on me after I didn't give it the proper attention it deserved at the time of its release, and more of its beauty and layers revealed with each further listen. An incredibly eclectic and passionate album, it incorporates just about anything from gospel and rnb to hip-hop and synthpunk. Each song has its distinctive characteristics of what makes it special and essential to the album. Tops: Toy, Holy Ghost, See How, Wow, Tremolo, In My View Bottoms: Fee Fi, Lord 27. The Voidz - Virtue Art Rock, Neo-Psychedelia Quote Speaking of eclectic albums... this year was IT when it comes to those (further examples in future updates x). Virtue is one of the finest examples for that, it is all over the place but in a good way. I'm tired of using the same reductive descriptions, but there's truly some brilliant songwriting here and it's all backed by even more forward-thinking production. The best output from Julian Casablancas since The Strokes' 2003 debut? Maybe so. Tops: My Friend the Walls, Pointlessness, ALieNNatioN, Pink Ocean, Lazy Boy Bottoms: Black Hole, Wink 26. Ariana Grande - Sweetener Contemporary R&B, Electropop Quote Sweetener represents a more intimate sound for Grande, one that is closer to her home and her true self, showcasing a soulful, organic R&B sound that was only briefly heard in her previous efforts. With the help of the superior producer Pharrell, she sounds more comfortable than ever on these songs. While certain producers tried their best to sabotage the album, they weren't powerful enough to subtract from the album's top moments: the playful and lighthearted blazed and successful, the ahead-of-its-time the light is coming, the gorgeous and old-school R.E.M, the revealing and affecting better off and get well soon, the magnum opus that is her title track, and the two singles (), which might feel a bit out-of-place on the album, but remain among Grande's greatest output to date. Her voice and personality shine through these tracks brighter than ever and further prove her as one of the most exciting acts pop music has to offer today. Tops: sweetener, the light is coming, blazed, R.E.M, better off, god is a woman Bottoms: goodnight n go, everytime, breathin
Diarrhoea Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Sweetener is terrible and everytime does NOT deserve to be in the bottom tier of a terrible album. Mac died so that you'd cry at this song
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 22, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 22, 2018 Bottoms: goodnight n go, everytime, breathin Ah, yes, you know the TEA, even tho GIAW is in the top. Voids and Young Fathers were a one-time listen to me
Eeveelution Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Oh wow, you snapped a tad with this set, I like all except Iceage (which is like fine, I guess). Quote With the help of the superior producer Pharrell Quote Tops: sweetener, the light is coming, blazed, R.E.M, better off, god is a woman Bottoms: goodnight n go, everytime, breathin Zero points on Wink, an infectious bopT.
Wicked Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I've stopped myself from posting an R&B-related meltdown in regards to the Sweetener tracks I've heard. If that's R&B, R&B is dead.
Uncatena Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 i listened to Beyondless once and it was kinda forgettable, maybe i need more listens of it but im never in the mood lol Cocoa Sugar is that girl, i knew she was... the production on that is so unique and goes off whew Sweetener is... an album
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 22, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 22, 2018 Sweetener... she did that but nopoints on the bottom choices but allpoints on the tops yall forcing me to relisten to cocoa sugar but they did that avoided listening to kids see ghost tho
Mark Rih Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 The Ariallah praise poor Max tho nnn TLIC is trash imo, but Pharrell made a few points with R.E.M./ Blazed / Successful gotta give him that
Remmy Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Didn't enjoy Kids See Ghosts all that much, I'm on #TeamYe. Feel the Love is great though, I appreciate the Yeezus vibes for sure. Oh wow at your bottom 3 from Sweetener all being from the good half R.E.M., better off and God is a woman we like them

MP2K Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I liked Pointlessness form The Voidz, so maybe I'l give them an actually spin in full. Kids See Ghosts wooo These tops for Sweetener are suspect
Pink Matter Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Quote and deliveries from Cudi being more listenable than ever don't try it bitch Quote Bottoms: Cudi Montage and you tried it again Regardless, nice set! KSG, The Voidz, and Ari Young Fathers didn't do much for me the number of times I listened to it but I might give it another chance. Iceage was cute for a listen. Quote Tops: sweetener, the light is coming, blazed, R.E.M, better off, god is a woman Bottoms: goodnight n go, everytime, breathin lastly a handful of these is just all types of wrong but I'll let you figure it out
