Body Electrician Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 oh wow, possibly the best top 10 I've seen and most similar to mine all that talent...
Maddox Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 First of all your top 5 is perfect!! Charli, Lana and Beach House ASIB was nice movie but i haven't touched that soundtrack in a while (aside from the occasional Shallow plays). And thank you for that snail mail mention, i don't understand the hype... I Got The Juice is good tho But overall i understand the issues with the album Maybe you made some points about years and years/Troye lmao
TheWayWeWere Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 SSSS is full of bops, stawp yeah, DC works better as a whole or with movie, but still very solid record not ASIB :biblio: both Troye and Y&Y albums were so.. boring I mean, they started off pretty good with singles, but final products are just meh love your write-up about Cardi I like her overall, but album praise is too much
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 26, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 26, 2018 I like most of these hm's so sad so sexy was cute for me.. felt thought out nopoints on dirty computer the 1975 did that for me.. some very touching lyrics ew @ pristine some points on palo santo/ bloom but both were still alright big points on aviary
Eeveelution Posted December 26, 2018 Author Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) ❤️ Honorable Mentions ❤️ I liked all these albums, though they are not necessarily my favourites from the year. Some are good but have obvious flaws, others I haven't listened to enough. I'm only doing 25 albums so think of these as 26-36. x amen dunes // freedom neo-psychedelia, singer/songwriter Amen Dunes’ Freedom is emotionally heavy music balanced upon the most melodic and easily-digestible backdrops: on Calling Paul the Suffering, McMahon confronts his father over an instrumental that is strangely bouncy and chipper. Other songs like Believe and the closing LA use rambling psychedelia as musical catharsis to great effect. Freedom is somewhat backloaded, if the record was overall as strong as the last four songs maybe it would have made my list proper, but this is still a worthy listen and has some of the most stunning music I’ve heard all year. points: freedom, LA, believe dj koze // knock knock deep house DJ Koze’s Knock Knock is a perfect antidote to all the bleakness of 2018. His music is just so much fun. His kaleidoscopic beats, taking influence from house music as well as from psychedelia, can easily stand on their own or accommodate a guest vocalist if needed: the queen of big “bops” herself is featured on two songs. You can have too much of a good thing though, and a couple of songs from the middle third could have been cut to make this more streamlined. Overall though, this record succeeds in what it aimed to do: make fun, carefree dance music. points: illumination, music on my teeth, drone me up flashy hayley kiyoko // expectations dance-pop, electropop A 20gayteen highlight, Hayley Kiyoko’s Expectations is full of fun, carefree pop music that is as honest as it is danceable. Hayley cannot sing (she sounds like Taylor at points) but she works around this by mostly avoiding ballads and stuffingasmanysyllablesintoalineaspossible, like on single Curious’ hook. There are even some more ambitious moments here: she goes full Melodrama with two double tracks in the middle. I find myself coming back to the bops though, and He’ll Never Love You and the Kehlani-assisted What I Need are as catchy as anything I’ve heard this year. I think this record is underrated honestly, and it deserved more love from fomos who are always complaining that pop music is dead. points: curious, he’ll never love you (hnly), what I need, under the blue / take me in mariah carey // caution contemporary r&b Up next we have the queen of indieheauxs hms, the songbird supreme herself, ms. Mariah Carey. I have tried to get into her several times, but this album was probably the first time I was really captivated by her music. In the wake of recent scandals, Mimi delivers a cohesive, mature set of songs that borrow from modern r&b trends while still retaining the charm that won her so many fans. Mariahisms are scattered liberally across the record (clock “Scusa mi” in GTFO chorus), but she also takes risks, like on the 6 minute psychedelic slow jam Giving Me Life - the one point Dev made this year. The back half is a little sleepy for me unfortunately, though there is no outright filler. Will try to revisit her discography soon. points: gtfo, a no no, the distance, giving me life mid-air thief // 무너지기 (crumbling) psychedelic pop, folktronica, neo-psychedelia Mid air thief’s Crumbling is one of the most stunningly beautiful records I’ve heard all year. The elusive project had a very organic breakout this year, as the intricate, delicately-crafted album caught the attention of music fans without any critical buzz. The record is almost too beautiful, and can sometimes feel like pleasant background music at points. I feel similarly about Ichiko Aoba’s qp, a stunning folk album released late this year. Of course, I recognise that that these albums being sung in Korean and Japanese, respectively, could present barriers against me getting into them more. Still beautiful records. I would especially recommend Crumbling to people who find traditional folk music boring as the arrangements here are very unique and experimental. points: these chains, curve and light natalie prass // the future and the past sophisti-pop, pop soul It feels unfair to put what is a pretty damn solid record in the bubbling under, but I can’t help but look at The Future and the Past as a disappointment. Natalie Prass’ self-titled debut was my AOTY for 2015 and I remember being so excited in the run up to release. This record just lacks that magic for me, and the whole sophisti-pop thing isn’t what I wanted from her really. That’s not to say there aren’t highlights here though: The Fire puts Haim’s last album to shame while Ship Go Down is probably the most experimental thing she’s ever done, a lament to the state of American politics that dissolves into distorted guitars and wails. points: ship go down, the fire, nothing to say noname // room 25 jazz rap, conscious hip-hop Noname calls her music “lullaby rap” and it’s easy to see why. She delivers her bars in a kind of sotto voce that’s softer than a homosexual, while favouring calm, jazz influenced instrumentals over the trap and industrial-esque beats that are popular right now. This could all point to her music being very boring but there’s a lot to enjoy here: her breathless flow on early standout Blaxploitation, the lush orchestration of Window and Don’t Forget About Me, Ravyn Lenae’s weightless hook on the dreamy Montego Bae. I don’t enjoy this as much as her mixtape, Telefone, but I remember that that took a while to grow on me so I gotta give this a shout out here. points: self, blaxploitation, don’t forget about me rosalía // el mal querer art pop, flamenco pop, flamenco nuevo As someone who speaks no Spanish and was very unfamiliar with flamenco music, El Mal Querer was a challenge to get into. I think the record does a good job at balancing classic flamenco with the tastes of a young woman who obviously grew up on contemporary pop music. Take Bagdad, which appropriates "Cry Me a River" to tell the 13th century tale of a woman’s infidelity that the whole album is based upon. I will say that I love the first four tracks, especially the sex bop Malamente and the post industrial-meets-Flamenco expedition De Aqui No Sales. The rest of the album doesn’t hit as hard but it’s still pretty good. I won’t call this overrated because I respect her talent and artistry. points: malamente, de aqui no sales say lou lou // immortelle art pop Immortelle was axed last minute from my list for an album that grew on me lately, but I still like it a lot. On their second album, Say Lou Lou switched from the post-M83 dream-synthpop of their debut to a more classic art pop sound with some heavy Portishead influence. These are easy genres to pull off for anyone with at least some talent and a reverb pedal, but Say Lou Lou still deliver here. At only 7 tracks, the record is concise, though not lacking in highlights: All Love to Me is a sexy Goldfrapp’d bop while the title track ends the record on a high with a wash of twinkling synths and ethereal melodies. points: immortelle, phantoms, all love to me tierra whack // whack world alternative r&b, pop rap, east coast hip-hop I didn’t like this on my initial listen but when I returned to this a few weeks back my opinion was much more positive. Whack World comprises fifteen one minute songs, a completely original album format (as far as I know, before someone quotes me that some obscure 1973 album did it already, or whatever). Of course, there’s perhaps a reason why nobody has attempted this idea before, but I like that this feels like a direct response to the trend of overlong and indulgent hip hop albums by artists like Drake and Migos. The music video is a must-watch too, it’s like watching her mind at work, very interesting and cool. points: whack world the voidz // virtue art rock, hypnagogic pop This album probably deserved more listens from me, and I don’t know why I didn’t listen more because I always left the album feeling positive. I like how this record blends dreamy hypnagogic pop with more traditional indie rock elements, it’s not really something anyone else was doing this year. Virtue is just a fun record that doesn’t always take itself too seriously, like on the “oh **** yeah!” refrain on Wink. The experimentation leads to some misses, like the miscalibrated stab at folk on Think Before You Drink, but overall it’s a nice antidote to some of the boring rock releases this year. points: aliennation, wink, pink ocean Edited December 26, 2018 by Eeveelution

Blue Rose Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Freedom was #31 on my list so I agree with this placement.

I didn’t hear why people were praising it to high heavens. She has potential tho

NNNN queen of "big bops" I cannot Guess I should give that Say Lou Lou record a listen. I was kinda indifferent to checking it out but is is only like 7 songs; why not I guess
Tom Vercetti Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 I tried with caution but like most of her other albums, it's not cutting it. I think Freedom was pretty even. Even with the weaker songs there was atleast 1 highlight in the front, middle, and end. Quote a completely original album format (as far as I know, before someone quotes me that some obscure 1973 album did it already, or whatever).

Eeveelution Posted December 27, 2018 Author Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) 25 // low - double negative ambient pop, glitch pop Poor Immortelle, but I just had to slide this in last minute. I wasn’t familiar with Low before this year, but from what I can tell they were quite an underrated band, though there seems to have been a resurgence of critical acclaim this year. Double Negative was a bold departure from their usual slowcore, embracing elements of noise and drone to create an album that is at first somewhat impenetrable, but slowly unravels its charms. The record does a great job at taking often unpleasant sounds; distorted vocals, glitchy electronics, industrial noise, and making something that is beautiful and strangely intimate. I also like how you can still tell this is a slowcore band at its heart, with songs such as Dancing and Fire being a perfect marriage of their old and new sounds. points: always up, dancing and fire, rome (always in the dark), disarray 24 // cupcakke - ephorize trap rap; hardcore hip-hop While some of female rap’s biggest names are shacking up with convicted rapists and beating up their man side chicks, CupcakKe remains a certified sweetheart. Whether she is writing anthems for autistic fans or supporting the homeless, it’s difficult not to root for Ms. Harris. While last year’s Queen Elizabitch was decent enough, Ephorize is the first album where she really reaches her potential. The production value is higher here, with some choices that compliment Miss cakKe perfectly, such as the autotuned post-hook of Total and the electric guitar that punctuates the absurdist sex-fantasies of Spoiled Milk Titties. There is still room for growth, of course. While CupcakKe is skilled in illustrating the myriad ways that she can ride a dick, when she tackles more serious topics such has admiration for the LGBT community, her bars can sometimes feel a little clunky. That being said, I’d take that over what other female rappers have to say about their queer fans anyday. points: crayons, wisdom teeth, total, duck duck goose, spoiled milk titties 23 // against all logic - 2012 - 2017 deep house I first got into Nicolas Jaar a couple years back thanks to best ofs and this is his newest release, this time under the name Against All Logic. As expected, the production here is top notch, I love the skittering drum beats on I Never Dream and the vaguely middle-eastern(?) influence on Now U Got Me Hooked. I also like the use of sampling here: Nicolas knows how to make good use of a sample without overdoing it like some producers have been known to. Is the I Am a God sample on Such a Bad Way Kanye’s biggest contribution to music this year? Maybe so. I’ve seen some call this ‘beginner’s house’ and what about it? The album's accessibility no doubt helped this become one of the most beloved electronic releases of 2018 and I can't say it's not what she deserves. points: i never dream, now u got me hooked, rave on u 22 // jorja smith - lost & found contemporary r&b, neo-soul Ahhh Jorja, my boring Queen. Hot on the trail of acclaimed singles and even a coveted Critics’ Choice Award, Jorja arrived this year with Lost & Found. Though polarizing, Smith’s voice is a stunning instrument and elevates some of the more basic material – her high notes are captivating on the otherwise simple guitar ballad Goodbyes. However, the production here is not too shabby either with some inspired choices: February 3rd employs feathery guitar licks and piano riffs that perfectly complement Jorja’s vocals. Later, Wandering Romance’s trip hop samples and garage-influenced electronics create a cavernous atmosphere that I really like. The album falls off with some Adele’d ballads toward the end, Tomorrow being especially grating, but overall this is a confident and very very underrated debut. points: the one, february 3rd, on your own, blue lights, wandering romance 21 // pusha t - daytona southern hip hop, hardcore hip hop Daytona is one of the most successful Wyoming Sessions albums for a few reasons. The album feels more well thought out and prepared than certain others. I may be wrong but I get the sense that this wasn’t being mastered on Kanye’s jet hours before release. Secondly, Pusha is a few albums in at this point, and unlike someone like Teyana, he seems aware enough of who he is as an artist so that he carries some confidence across the album’s tracks. It never feels like Kanye's production is wearing him and there's no risk of him being overshadowed. I couldn’t really put Daytona in my top 20 because, while it is consistently strong, the albums higher have more impressive standouts. points: hard piano, infrared Edited December 27, 2018 by Eeveelution
TheWayWeWere Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Caution and Immortelle on HMs you made some points about Hayley tho Cupcakke making your list with her best album
Tom Vercetti Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Daytona is the best here so it's position is good w/ me. All I will say about aal (eye saw my remark about it there) is that it's a good thing that it got many people into the genre, or at the very least gave them a taste. Quote Ahhh Jorja, my boring Queen. We got that right. Feb 3rd is her best song tho x.
Dom Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Okay, I hated Cupcakke at her slut phase, like deepthroat and etc. camp bops tho. but she be slaying hard when she wants too, the album was like a very solid effort and she spat bars, unlike nicki.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 27, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 27, 2018 ephorize I ended up liking Jorja's ballads gorgeous debut tho ? didn't like daytona... found it basic
Kevin2803 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I don't know any of these albums I still commented, so i won't miss the next update
Vilppu Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Quote while it is consistently strong, the albums higher have more impressive standouts i put it a lot higher obvs but i kinda agree, aside from IYKYK which is crazy amazing imo, it's like a v constant 8.5/10 ephorize is cute and jorja's album wasn't anywhere near as boring as everyone claimed but not excellent either also re: natalie, her debut has better songwriting but it feels v cheap, something like, say, christy has gorgeous backings but is a mixing disaster. the new record is more polished but lacks the soul, those cancel each other out imo
