[prézli]

Still waiting for the first familiar song/album.

 

[madonnas]

Ah yes the albums I heard were cute but never bothered. 

[TheWayWeWere]

tbh expected more from Jorja based on single and all the critics hype

that 5th Harmony gif  I forgot how messy that group was 

[Navyofbadgals]

Horns delivered

[Navyofbadgals]

Mess horns = jorja lol

[MP2K]

I really like Jorja and I wanna see her step it up next go round.

[Vilppu]

i think i liked jorja's album more than most, the three boring ballads towards the end aside it was a pleasant listen

 

i couldn't come up with a better bad witch description myself x

[Dom]

Yass at least I know Jorja Smith. so not fully a flop. haa, you can't say i'm illiterate in music. heck. 

 

 

 

yasss mama.

[TRF.]

Puce Mary UGHHHHHH her mind. The real queen of noise

 

Idk why everyone suddenly starting dragging miss Jorja Smith all of a sudden I wasn't a big fan of ha alberm but she still made some points.

 

 

 

[Tsareena]

[Pink Matter]

Only know the Jorja album and I think your description is pretty spot on. For some reason I thought that NIN album was an EP since it only had 6 songs on it  I had planned to listen to it before so maybe I'll use this opportunity to listen to it   

[Vxspertine]

The Hop Along album was such a snooze 

Nine Inch Nails  we stan a 

[Body Electrician]

Emma Ruth  such an underrated queen

 

I think I listened to that Hop Along album but I have no memory of it

[Love Drought]

Jorja's album was underwhelming, but she gave us The One & Wandering Romance so I can't complain 

[Bubble Tea]

I can't say I'm familiar with all this stuff..  

[Sbbmsve]

Ok, I haven't listened to these albums but Puce Mary's album cover intrigued me. Should I check

Jorja's album nearly put me to sleep. And those last three adele'd tracks at the end  

 

I'm glad to see Hop Along on someone's list. They deserve the attention that Snail Mail received over the year.

 

um no sweetie. 

tomorrow and goodbyes sweeties...

snail mail wishes and this comparison should not have been made, but tea

um yes. gr8 song but every song that follows it outsold x

It's just not realistic. 

 

48-46 is like the trinity of albums I liked but forgot about and never revisited.   Good placements eye guess.

Maybe it was too ahead of its time...

Me hoe

On Dark Horses has nothing on Marked For Death!

 

NIN drops solid releases still but not anything of note recently. Trent's OSTs >>> the recent NIN material. Nice set! 

MFD is def better but ODH is great as well and a worthy follow-up

 

I think this album was quite of note even if it's not groundbreaking or anything

Lost & Found was enjoyable for the most part 

BYHOD was an interesting listen, I think I preferred the second half to the first 

It's kinda solid throughout for me

I'll listen to that Emma Ruth Rundle album some time soon, I remember Treble was stanning her



 

Landscaped of Tesco's beautiful aisles perhaps 

maybe so, but one in Warsaw

the bandwagon hate for the last three tracks makes no sense to me but I agree the closer is a snooze

45. Metric - Art of Doubt

Indie Rock

Quote

Tons of excellent guitar work here which I wish I heard more often in albums and lots of infectious hooks and sharp melodies. There's many songs here which would stand strong by themselves aside from already working great in the album context. I do think the album is imperfect and unnecessarily long and could've cut out a few tracks in order to fulfill its potential.

 

Tops: Dark Saturday, Love You Back, Underline the Black, Seven Rules

Bottoms: Now or Never Now, Dressed to Suppress, Risk

 

44. Tropical F*ck Storm - A Laughing Death in Meatspace

Art Punk, Punk Blues, Noise Rock

Quote

One of the most insane and ambitious rock albums I've heard this year. so the band name, album title and cover art all fit it well. It's not an easy record to process, but listening to it kinda leaves me in awe. Love how noisy the guitar, bass and synths get and how nicely they compliment each other, all accompanied by the political commentaries which admittedly I did not read much into but still appreciate.

 

Tops: Chameleon Paint, Soft Power, Antimatter Animals

Bottoms: title track

 

43. Mariah Carey - Caution

Contemporary R&B

Quote

Miss Carey came through with a cohesive, concise and consistent album which features her classic, signature R&B sound mixed with modern production. The result is surprisingly good. This won't garner hits nor attention from the general public but I'm sure she knew that.

 

Tops: A No No, Giving Me Life, One Mo Gen, 8th Grade, Stay Long Love You

Bottoms: With You

 

42. Shopping - The Official Body

Post-Punk, Dance-Punk

Quote

One of the first releases of the year, The Official Body had a spot in my top 10 for the majority of the year's first half. An album full of super slick and groovy punk songs featuring some awesome rhythmic guitar work, bass lines and percussion. It's just a really amazing and fun record that is super easy to dance to.

 

Tops: Asking for a Friend, Discover, Shave Your Head, Suddenly Gone, Control Yourself

Bottoms: New Values

 

41. George Clanton - Slide

Synthpop, Hypnagogic Pop, Chillwave

Quote

Got into this hoe less than two weeks ago and I instantly knew I had to make room for him on my list. This album combines many different sounds and genres from different eras in a pop context and the result is near perfect.

 

Tops: Slide, Dumb, Make It Forever, Tie Me Down, You Lost Me There

Bottoms: Encore

[Wicked]

Slide & Meatspace are on my wishlist. Nice to see Mimi here, but GTFO needs to be included in that bottom.... 

[Sbbmsve]

Slide bitch SLIDE, I can’t get that puta out of my head. Make It Forever is an instant synthpunk classic  Mariah made many points with Caution. It is like her most low-key album, GTFO is a jam.  

[Scandalous]

Tierra Whack is a genius, the accompanying film is incredible

not familiar with any of the top 50 so far except Jorja's which has the masterpiece Teenage Fantasy

[Unoriginal]

Caution is the only one of these I've heard :miley: it's cute 

[Tsareena]

? wow caution is a slay
