Tom's Best Of 2018 | Finished


Recommended Posts

Posted

Didn't really care for the new Brockhampton album but it had a few highlights. J'OUVERT being one of them.

Disclosure, Teyana, Rina, Majid, and Christine are all great!

I'm gonna give Sasami a listen based off your recommendation :eek:

Party For One :heart2: 

Posted

Party for One is a grower, Doesn't Matter a bop :katie2:

I should've given Cherry a better listen this year, I think it sounded good from what I remember.

Posted

I'm going to try J'OUVERT again. It was just not as good as SAT 1-3 or the stand alone singles and I'm upset about that.

BROCKHAMPTON :clap3: 

Cherry was ok I guess

Doesn't matter is such an immense bop! 

Party For One :katie2: 

Posted

All Over You :smitten: glad to see it well into you top 100!

 

Cherry is Rina's best song this year I agree, love the throwback vibe it has

 

Love Can Be So Hard is also great

Posted

Doesn’t Matter is a marvel.

Party For One so high :eek:

The talent of the group left so they had to work with what was left.

65. The Internet - Roll (Burbank Funk) (Neo-soul)

 

Image result for the internet roll burbank funk

 

More of the same but hey don't fix what's not broke, especially when it's a standout on an album that sounds like it's on autopilot. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

64. Kacey Musgraves - High Horse (Dance-Pop/Country Pop)

 

Image result for kacey musgraves high horse

 

This makes Kylie's Golden era obsolete. Call me basic but her upbeat pop stuff > those slow tracks. I know it's cool for some to hate on the more pop fluff but if there's one thing I had to go back to from her it's this. While I usually hate modern country pop, this ain't bad. Giddy-Up. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

63. Haru Nemuri - narashite (J-Pop/Noise Rock)

 

Image result for haru nemuri haru to

 

Distortion! Distortion! Distortion! What a fun song. The instrumental caught my attention from the start. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

62. Noname ft Smino and Saba - Ace (Conscious Hip Hop)

 

Image result for noname room 25

 

The Chicago Trifecta at work. Chance The Rapper wasn't invited for some reason. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

61. Denzel Curry ft JPEGMAFIA & Zillakami - Vengeance (Trap Rap)

 

Image result for denzel curry taboo

 

One of the few non bitch-made tracks from taboo. The downfall compared to last year is saddening. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

60. Route 8 - Turning Point (Deep House/Breakbeat)

 

Image result for route 8 come home

 

If you like modernized breakbeat w/ house then this for you (and me).

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

59. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays (Disco/Neo-Psychedelia)

 

Image result for unknown mortal orchestra everybody acts

 

I liked their fuzz rock take but I like classic disco poppy things from them even more. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

58. Young Fathers - Border Girl (Indietronica/Neo-Soul)

 

Image result for young fathers border girl

 

Best single cover... ever!

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

57. Ludwig A.F. Röhrscheid - Velocity (Ambient House/Breakbeat)

 

Image result for ludwig a.f. röhrscheid - velocity

 

Very wavey and an early year house highlight.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

56. Kurt Vile - Loading Zones (Folk Rock/Country Rock)

 

Image result for kurt vile loading zones

 

I love Kurt Vile. If I ever smoked I would go out on a smoke break with him and just chill in the inner city. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

55. Kero Kero Bonito - Only Acting (Noise Pop)

 

Image result for kero kero bonito only acting

 

Those forced noise sections and twitchy elements shouldn't really work when fused with a twee pop song but for me it does, and it makes it all the more memorable.

54. Anna Von Hausswolff - The Truth. The Glow, The Fall (Neoclassical Darkwave/Ethereal Wave)

Those vocals in the last 2 minutes of this song :rip: Giving Mariah a run for her money. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

53. Parquet Courts - Total Football (Art Punk/Indie Rock)

Rebels. Teachers. Strikers. Sweepers. Better. Protected. Whenever. Collected.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

52. Tim Hecker - In mother earth phase (Ambient)

 

Image result for tim hecker konoyo

 

There's a lot of layered orchestral moments along with glitchy sequences that reminds me of his last decade material. With all of those put together it creates an emotional feat.

It puts a spell on the listener since her voice is so captivating!

Border Girl and High Horse are two amazing tracks.

Had to go back to that to remember what it sounded like, and the last minute is a moment.

I feel basic but High Horse is the only one I know from this set, it's a masterpiece though :clap3:

Posted

Yee haw @ High Horse ? 

 

Haru ❤️ a highlight for sure.

 

LOVE the Young Fathers artwork this era.

 

Only acting ahead of its time indeed.

Posted

High Horse yeeehaw! :jamming: The first song I heard from Golden Hour earlier in the year, and it's what made me stay away from the album. :oh: Now I recognize it as a bop but the verses >> chorus. Plus I actually prefer her slower tracks, which I wasn't really expecting.

Posted

not a huge fan of high horse but i like the rest! i love seeing occasional overlap cuz it reaffirms my choices, so obviously i love those songs. also the truth the glow the fall is a religious experience. and total football and narashite are amazing ofc.

Posted

I don't know these sorry - but a great, extensive rate.
