ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 31, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 31, 2018 malamante, omg no contest being so high deserved... a big bop whew. venice bitch cool n collected whew, geyser e lights is so gorgeous and tea on lifeboats screwed whew a song 16 minutes ago, Pink Matter said: 4) SOHPIE|Is It Cold In The Water? yas sohpie rage of plastics :clap3; omg after the storm talent won
Blue Rose Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I see a lot of talent in the top20 After The Storm is nice and has a cute video. i feel like Venice Bitch has a vocal minority that overrate it. It’s great but MAC packs more punch imo. Also, TWOD’s Thinking Of A Place has ruined long songs for me. If it’s not up to that level, I don’t want it.
clue Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 A "Testing" track in the top 10 that isn't "Fukk Sleep" ? Reborn, Rage of Plastics, Is It Cold in the Water, Venice Bitch, Screwed, Geyser
Jet Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 BIITM, Screwed and After The Storm the taste is jumping out
potent Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Because It's in the Music and Screwed are the highlights of the top 10 for me! Definitely among the best tracks on their respective albums
MP2K Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Woo! what a top 20! Especially the top 10. "I don't care how old this song is, I'm just going to pretend like this didn't come out 2 years ago" - Something I would do lol there's no rules
Kiss It Better Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Next Time/Humble Pie, Prayer Song, Screwed No Contest should've been a single I agree, it's still sounding so fresh despite being recorded in 2015 After The Storm winning this wow
Lazuli Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Next Time, Lemon Glow, Venice Bitch, Cool & Collected, BIITM, Geyser, IICITW?, Rage of Plastics After the Storm isn't really the best song on the album but I appreciate the choice!
Vilppu Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Quote Honestly, I'm starting to get tired of these write ups so I'm just going to quote what NPR said about it me doing haiku as writeups tea if i ignore the tinashe and janelle tracks this is a complete serve. not all would be my choices (after the storm in particular i probably would put in the lower half of isolation) but your descriptions justify them i think and even there's ofc plenty to enjoy. geyser, IICITW and bamboo princess are particularly amazing for me v nice list, can't wait for albums ^-^
Eeveelution Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Quote 1) Kali Uchis|After the Storm (feat.

Excited for albums!
Tom Vercetti Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 i'm really feeling the top 20, and most of the top 10 in particular. I thought something Cudi related would top this but I was very close. good luck on the albums bit.
Navyofbadgals Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 great list After The Storm is a nice #1; also love the Because It's In The Music shoutout my fav off the album too

Haven't been keeping up with it like that but that was my general impression. And I see what you mean but I feel there are many ways to do a long song well.

Pink Matter Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Albums: Honorable Mentions All of these are albums that I thought were nice but didn't have much replay value/only listened to once or twice/just weren't as strong as the ones in my top 50. All of these albums are worth a listen though! Spoiler Nao|Saturn Earl Sweatshirt|Some Rap Songs The Carters|Everything Is Love Choker|Honeybloom Odie|Analogue Dream Wife|s/t* Brockhampton|iridescence Blood Orange|Negro Swan Jon Hopkins|Singularity Spiritualized|And Nothing Hurt Low|Double Negative Mick Jenkins|Pieces of a Man Esperanza Spalding|12 Little Spells Julia Holter|Aviary Hollie Cook|Vessel of Love Son Lux|Brighter Wounds First Aid Kit|Ruins Kurt Vile|Bottle It In Palm|Rock Island Iceage|Beyondless Grouper|Grid of Points Melody's Echo Chamber|Bon Voyage Frankie Cosmos|Vessel Superorganism|s/t* Chloe x Halle|The Kids Are Alright Doja Cat|Amala Jungelpussy|JP3 Cardi B|Invasion of Privacy MGMT|Little Dark Age Lucy Dacus|Historian s/t*=self-titled album

fossora Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 youre soooo wrong about bon voyage, iridescence and double negative being only HMs
Pink Matter Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Just now, artangel said: youre soooo wrong about bon voyage, iridescence and double negative being only HMs To be fair, I didn't listen to Bon Voyage and Double Negative a lot and the latter was pretty interesting but I just never listened to it enough. iridescence is just okay though Their weakest album along with Sat. 1.
Blue Rose Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 The Carters could’ve charted. The rest didn’t make my top50 so this is fine
theblackestday Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 catching up on the songs list– I'm glad you could connect with Lemon Glow super disappointed in you for snubbing our girl from the top 10 when she came at us with the best song of her career though I love your song choices for most of these artists: Cool & Collected, Geyser, Santeria and Rage of Plastic are all apt choices Licking an Orchid and Is It Cold in the Water? are masterpieces. Love Reborn (some powerful ****) and Blue Lights as well, and glad to see Kali at number one! After the Storm has always been one of my least faves on Isolation to be honest but recently I've been loving it more and more. Overall taste was delivered in this song countdown (as expected)! As for the album HMs, most of these are reasonable. Some I wish you had more time with so they could have received a proper place in the actual list as they deserve
Lazuli Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Superorganism, Negro Swan, Iridescence, IOP and Beyondless should've made it!
TayRianaPH Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Sophie, Let's Eat Grandma, & Pusha T: a trinity in your Top 10! Invasion of Privacy, Singularity & Everything Is Love definitely deserved better
