Remmy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 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!

Achilles. Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Rose Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Rose Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Rose Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navyofbadgals Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloröx Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
