best of Superpower’s Best Of 2018

[Mr. Loco]

Post Malone was pretty big this year, and he released some good music

[Eeveelution]

Some of these albums above Beach House...

 

I hope your top 20 is a serve.  

[Remmy]

Man of the Woods is definitely overhated but it also could've been better. There's 2 or 3 standouts, a few ugly or boring moments, then the rest is simply fine. I'm just glad he didn't put SoulMate on the tracklist!

[TRF.]

so sad so sexy was cute! I am a so sad so sexy apologist and I am not ashamed!

[Achilles.]

I found Rae Morris’s album cute but very “samey.” Idk. 

 

Beach House is... so low. 

 

 

There are a song or two from The Internet that I really like, but I’m not invested enough to check out the full album. Maybe someday.  

[Blue Rose]

 

 

When you pair such highly experimental music (random notes sprinkled here and there, distortion, animals and nature sounds etc...) with a fragile, soothing and contemplative voice, the listener is taken on a beautiful and dreamy aural journey. And the lyrics are unsettlingly honest.

 

 

This has the worst intro of all time. Perhaps a ruse to make everything else sounds good? The album pulls from many influences and when they make it work, it’s outstanding.

 

 

William never disappoints. He just has the power to make me calm and he is never afraid to mix his Folk identity with Electronica and piercing drum beats.

[Blue Rose]

 

Kacey flips the tables and stops holding back with her most direct lyrics yet. Her Country emotions are dressed up with Pop, Folk and Disco makeup. The album is full of her personality which is very attractive.

 

 

Amazing indie pop rock, with some electro elements. Catchy verses with even catchier hooks. Witty, sassy, fun and great use of the spoken words styling. I can’t imagine creating a party mix without some of their songs.

 

 

This triumph is the most fearless record of the year. They deservedly got a little bit of mainstream exposure thanks to an Apple Watch commercial. I love that the instrumentals are complex and layered but never loud or in your face while still managing to pack a big punch.

 

 

A shame that they neglected this. Friends and Heard About Us are career highlights, while Beyoncé’s verse from Black Effect is one of the best by a female MC this year.

[Blue Rose]

 

Her voice is so silky and her R&B sound is interesting but in a good way. A near flawless debut album and I’m super excited to hear what she does next.

 

 

An army of talented female singers and ambient orchestral sounds are the perfect backdrop for Moby's melancholy. The result is cathartic, hypnotic, gloomy and gorgeous. His best album in forever.

 

 

Always loved Mac Miller and was already in love with this chill, personal and honest album. So after his unfortunate passing, it was on heavy rotation.

[Navyofbadgals]

GH is great

I LOVED Cocoa Sugar when it came out but it didn’t hold up nice to me

 

EIL has some nice highlights and is a good album but obvs a disappointment after Lemonade (and 4:44 I guess)

[Navyofbadgals]

Oh and stan Tirzah  

[Cloröx]

The Carters neglected EIL? Even the BeyHive do the same thing, only cares about success, when it flops you guys deny its existence 

 

Mac Miller and The 1975

They only released one video for EIL while each song from their previous albums had a video. That’s the neglect but they still perform it.

And as far as I can tell, the Beyhive loves this album. And 4 is most people favorite Bey album so your success theory isn’t valid.

The Carters have the most songs in my Songs list by the way.

CS has few songs in my gym playlist. That gave it the longevity  

Lemonade >>>>> EIL >> 4:44 (all excellent)

Yas! I hope she makes your lists. I believe she has 2 songs in my Top100

[madonnas]

Confidence Man remind me of a combination of Junior Senior, Deee-Lite, and Alphabeat.  Luv it.

EIL and Tirzah weren't bad but they will NOT be on my list! 

[prézli]

Beyoncé's rap on EIL is no, thank you.

Hm, I read the opposite. But I haven't heard it.  

[Mr. Loco]

Didn't really like The carters... haven't heard the rest of this set

[Blue Rose]

Tomorrow, I will reveal my AOTY. The top 10 is serving me battle of the sexes (6 men vs 4 women) Here’s a loose genre breakdown:

Pop: 3

Alternative: 4

Electronic: 2

R&B: 1 

[MusicLoverDude]

Golden Hour

[Tom Vercetti]

My favorite here is Cocoa Sugar~

I think Mac had more potential. My favorite from him is still go:od am

 

I didn't even know Moby released an album  

[potent]

Kacey getting her deserved acclaim

I’m interested in The Carters and The 1975 album but I haven’t gotten to them yet.

[kelly-clarkson]

I've seen Kacey's album on so many lists

I need to listen it again!

[Eeveelution]

GODzah.  

 

a 2018 WINNER.

[Wicked]

Moby dropped an album in 2018 and it was good?  

[oceans]

kacey

[Uncatena]

i have Loma on my list but I haven't listened to it yet.

 

A Brief Inquiery... cute  Golden Hour is SO overrated, but still a pleasant listen. Slow Burn makes me emotional.

 

Confidence Man... big bops as the kids say. 

 

Cocoa Sugar is an ALBUM they snapped

 

Tirzah talentless hack
