Body Electrician Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Oh wow, some of those discoveries not here for IBOLD disrespect though
K$Ellie Posted December 12, 2018 Author Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Top 20 Albums Bubbling Under 25. Kimbra - Primal Heart: 7.1 A decent album overall but there aren't any big standouts. Human and TOTW > 24. U.S. Girls - In A Poem Unlimited: 7.2 Same as Kimbra, a pretty overrated album but I like L-Over and MAH 23. Rae Morris - Someone Out There: 7.2 The first few sings are v nice but it drags on towards the end tbh. 22. twenty one pilots - Trench: 7.3 The downfall a huge disappointment after Blurryface 21. Florence + The Machine - High As Hope: 7.3 Another disappointing album from an artist I really like at least she snapped on 100 Years 20. Poppy - Am I A Girl?: 7.3 Faves: Hard Feelings, Am I A Girl?, X Least faves: In A Minute, Iconic, Chic Chick Didn't expect to like this album after her messy debut The second half is miles better than the first, the pop songs sound so cheap 19. Ionnalee - Everyone Afraid To Be Forgotten: 7.4 Faves: Watches Watches, Samaritan, Joy Least faves: Blazing, Harvest, Fold The first half is full of bops but once you reach track 8 it reaaaaly starts to drag. Would have been a lot better with 10-12 songs. 18. Gang Gang Dance - Kazuashita: 7.4 Faves: Lotus, Kazuashita Least faves: Snake Dub, Young Boy Lotus sounds like a Grimes song a v nice, consistent album but I suppose it's nothing special 17. Nao - Saturn: 7.5 Faves: Curiosity, Orbit, Make It Out Alive Least faves: Saturn, Gabriel, Another Lifetime Some nice songs here but not an album I would return to a lot, definitely not enough standouts. Her debut was a lot better. 16. The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships: 7.5 Faves: I Like America & America Likes Me, Love It If We Made It, How To Draw / Petrichor Least faves: Give Yourself A Try, The Man Who Married A Robot / Love Theme, Be My Mistake This had the potential to be in my top 10 but the fillers are just thaaat bad. Robot is completely useless, Give Yourself A Try is unlistenable and Be My Mistake is boring af. My top 3, TOOTIME and the last 2 songs tho >>> 15. Hayley Kiyoko - Expectations: 7.6 Faves: What I Need, Molecules, Feelings Least faves: He'll Never Love You (HNLY), Wanna Be Missed, Curious Basically a cute pop album with some nice songs 14. Kali Uchis - Isolation: 7.6 Faves: Body Language, Miami, Just A Stranger Least faves: Flight 22, Killer, After The Storm After In My Dreams it falls apart and doesn't pick back up until Feel Like A Fool, she could have made the interludes longer and delete 2 songs 13. Panic! At The Disco - Pray For The Wicked: 7.7 Faves: High Hopes, King Of The Clouds, Hey Look Ma, I Made It Least faves: Roaring 20s, Old Fashioned, Dying In LA Some ****ty songs on this but there are enough standouts for me to ignore them. 12. Mariah Carey - Caution: 7.7 Faves: The Distance, Giving Me Life, Caution Least faves: GTFO, With You I'm not a huge Mariah fan so I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was Even my least favorites are a 6/10 at worst. I should listen to her discography eventually 11. Say Lou Lou - Immortelle: 7.8 Faves: All Love To Me, Ana, Limbo Least faves: Golden Child, Immortelle Borderline an EP Had it been longer I probs would have had it in my top 10 cause I like all the songs 10. MØ - Forever Neverland: 7.9 Faves: Blur, Nostalgia, Way Down Least faves: Mercy, Trying To Be Good, Sun In Our Eyes Finally she got her album out the downtempo songs are terrible, she can't pull them off Blur (and Drum) deserved Final Song's success tho 9. Tommy Genesis - Tommy Genesis: 7.9 Faves: Play With It, Tommy, Naughty Least faves: It's Ok, Drive, 100 Bad She's so underrated Lowkey the song with Charli is one of the worst but still a cute bop 8. Cardi B - Invasion Of Privacy: 8.0 Faves: Be Careful, Bodak Yellow, Bickenhead Least faves: Best Life, She Bad, Thru The Phone We love a critically acclaimed, AOTY nominated #1 album by the Queen Of Rap Best Life is a travesty but I like most of the other songs. Bickenhead and I Do deserved to be singles 7. Beach House - 7: 8.1 Faves: Drunk In L.A., Lemon Glow, L'Inconnue Least faves: Woo, Lose Your Smile, Dark Spring Their 3rd best album Drunk In LA is one of the best songs of the year Woo and Lose Your Smile drag the album down a biT tho. Also Lemon Glow > Dive 6. Mitski - Be The Cowboy: 8.2 Faves: Geyser, Pink In The Night, A Pearl Least faves: A Horse Named Cold Air, Me and My Husband, Remember My Name Not at all what I expected after Geyser and Nobody but it grew on me a lot. Most of the album tracks are great despite being so short. Blue Light deserved to be 3m tho. Nobody is lowkey so overrated 5. Charli XCX - Pop 2: 8.3 Faves: Unlock It, Track 10, Lucky Least faves: Delicious, Femmebot Another grower I even like most of the songs I wasn't a fan of initially (Out Of My Head, Tears, I Got It). Delicious would have been a 9/10 but the feature alone makes it a 4 at best I need more sad songs like Lucky, Backseat and Tears from her 4. Janelle Monáe - Dirty Computer: 8.4 Faves: Pynk, Make Me Feel, Screwed Least faves: Django Jane, So Afraid, Dirty Computer The Janelle bandwagon is a bit annoying cause this isn't even close to being her best work but it's still an incredible album. I love that she's finally getting the recognition she deserves even though The ArchAndroid outsold by far. DC is deff better than TEL but I feel like it's less consistent and doesn't flow as well. If she deleted like 2-3 songs off TEL then this probably would have been her worst album. The writing is corny/basic at times like in Django Jane, Americans and I Got The Juice whereas I don't think that was the case for her first 2 albums. Pynk, Make Me Feel, Screwed and Don't Judge Me are 11/10 tho CCL and Take A Byte go off too 3. Bhad Bhabie - 15: 8.5 Faves: Hi Bich, Gucci Flip Flops, Famous Least faves: Intro (15), Shhh, Count It I knew Lhegend was gonna snap on this there are like 3-4 duds but nothing offensively bad. These Heaux deserved to make the cut tho If people are gonna listen to mumble rappers then I don't see how she's any worse. The kii is that ATRL would stan for her music if Iggy released it 2. Let's Eat Grandma - I'm All Ears: 8.7 Faves: Hot Pink, Donnie Darko, Snakes & Ladders Least faves: It's Not Just Me, Whitewater, I Will Be Waiting By the time this album was gonna get released, my hype had died down tbh I think it was like half a year after Hot Pink but the wait was so worth it even It's Not Just Me is cute despite being annoying and by far the worst on the album. Hot Pink, Donnie Darko, Snakes & Ladders, Cool & Collected and Falling Into Me are all 10/10s. Ava is pretty underrated tho 1. SOPHIE - Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides: 8.9 Faves: Immaterial, Ponyboy, Is It Cold In The Water? Least faves: Pretending I don't stan for this as much as my other AOTYs which usually would have at least a score of 9 but 2018 was a weak year for music. Still an amazing album ofc and it easily would have been in my top 3 last year. I love Pretending for what it is and it works great on the album, I'm obviously not gonna like it as much as the actual songs tho. I still listen to this album so much whew, she really snapped Not Okay deserved to be 4m+ Edited December 12, 2018 by K$Ellie
Body Electrician Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 The last 3 songs on AIAG are SO good shame the rest of the album is garbage 7 BTC Pop 2 not here for the Delicious and Femmebot shade though..... I’m All Ears 2nd I agree I Will Be Waiting and It’s Not Just Me are the weakest and utter filler OIL definitely took time to grow on me and I still find some tracks too jarring (I’m always looking at the clock waiting for Whole New World to end )
Mark Rih Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 The 21p downfall they lowkey deserve it tho The 1975's and Isolation love those, they're coming to stomp on my list Quote I'm not a huge Mariah fan so I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it was Even my least favorites are a 6/10 at worst. I should listen to her discography eventually Mte
mokitsu Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 i have some of these on my list, panic! and tommy were garbaj ttho
wabayou Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Inquiry, Isolation, PFTW, OIL, DC. we love Tate.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 12, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 12, 2018 great list. I liked all your hm's and most of your list... but bhad bhabie sis wyd
Vilppu Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 there will be a day when people begin to realise BHAD BHABIE is a visionary... we'll be there standing proud as the initiators of the movement love how a lot of your descriptions focus more on what the albums did wrong, pessimism is the only way. sophie a deserving #1, LEG charli mitski beach house kali and say lou lou were quite good too
Eeveelution Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Cute list sis lots of great alb- Quote Least faves: Flight 22 Quote Least faves: A Horse Named Cold Air,
lhdang2000 Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Your love for Bhad Barbie is truly unexplainable... I do agree with you about Janelle. Dirty Computer is pretty overrated compared to her last efforts, but I think the rawness in the lyrics is what people like. And also, it's great to root for a female artist who actually receives critics' acclaim.
Vxspertine Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 BITCH SOPHIE ****ING WON!!!!! Let's Eat Grandma, Charli, Kali, Gang Gang Dance... you served this year As for your discoveries I'll ignore the fact you put Regret as one of the worst songs on Idler and stan for the fact you loved so many CLASSICS FKA Twigs, Susanne and Janelle deserved all the acclaim
