Recommended Posts

A lot to choose from. The Calvin and Weeknd collab was underwhelming despite the regulate sample, but maybe it's because I was expecting a different sound.

ive never heard an orville peck song in my entire life.  how crazy is that. 

:rip:

 

Queen of the Rodeo is his peak, and his cover of Smalltown Boy is cute.  I'm hoping his future releases sound more like that.

Damn these graphics! :jonny5:

 

SHAKING at "Green Light" as your decade #2 - rightfully so. Lorde is just the artist that trumps all others. She can't be beat! Obvi we HATE the centuries-long gaps she takes in-between albums but that's obviously why her music is so good - she spends a lot of time perfecting it. Better than I guess.

Whole New Mess is kinda cute, I wish there was a little switchup at one point like an EDM breakdown or something? Joking. Give Me Another Chance :katie2: At first I just simply enjoyed it, then one day it really hit me. Over Now, OK Not to Be OK, No Time to Die also cute. Boyfriend, Diamonds, Fire In Bone & rue :jamming: Only Time Can Make It Human + Take Yourself Home AHHH there are the scalpers :sats: :sats: :sats:

 

Decade albums~ Melodrama, Red & Paramore in your top 5 ahhh those were in mine too ok twin! (You were just missing 1989 and Warrior). Speak Now, Pure Heroine, Born to Die, All Mirrors yup! :clap3: and there's some solid highlights in Honey, St. Vincent & Ultraviolence as well :)

Posted

Wow lots of GREAT picks here but I wanna highlight Violent Sun since that song is SSOOOOSSOSOSOSO GOOD! I'm really happy their album ended up being better than their last one (but they still haven't topped that 2015 album).

march march is very underrated imo, people trash it for no reason and i love its outro. i guess it's not as impactful of gaslighter/sleep at night though

diamonds and no time to die are both cute

don't stop, boyfriend, take yourself home, legends never die, the chicks x2, over now, no time to die. :clap3: 

 

such great taste! :heart2:

March March, ONTBO, Diamonds, No Time to Die, Fire in Bone, Julianna Calm Down, Take Yourself Home, Rue (should be higher!!!) :clap3:

Over Now was a disappointing single, but cute I guess

rue is the only girl in red song i've heard :eli: i keep hearing her as some lesbian icon or smth so maybe i'll check her out more

On 12/6/2020 at 6:21 PM, TheWayWeWere said:

omg, I love some Living Proof appreciation :fan:

Julianna Calm Down sounds like classic :'( 

Boyfriend was great jam, they should've promoted this 

Billie's singles this year... were choices :rip: 

the entire rare era lacked promo anyway so what could we expect :skull: 

i'm sure she'll still deliver when her album drops :cm:

OK Not To Be Ok, Boyfriend, Diamonds and Take Yourself Home :clap3:

 

Living Proof also here :duca: Honestly, i kinda forgot quickly that Romance even existed after it was released. With the pandemic and lockdown going on, it kinda feels like the album was released years ago. :ahh:

it's not like anyone cared about that album :eli:

living proof! i'm so happy when i see camila recognition:gaycat5: that song is excellent

nnn i am the last person to give camila recognition tbh but living proof is a decent song despite the shrill chorus

Legend Never Die, March March, Diamonds, Fire in Bone, Don't Stop, Take Yourself Home :clap3:

 

I forgot that Living Proof was released december last year :rip: It was kind of my most played song by hers

 

Also kinda shocked that Angel Olsen's new album didn't click for me cause I really like her All Mirrors & My Women a lot.

 

No Time to Die is a letdown imo but bond themes in general are just hit or miss for me 

 

And also KLK deserve higher. What a glitch reggaeton bop :jonny5:

it is better than shitnorita and the hundred of droplets she did so yea :cm: 

the angel album is cute for an acoustic take on all mirrors, but the full production cannot be beaten

sam's bond theme was boring too :cm:

Caribou’s You & I and Matt One More Second :jonny5:

stan a bit!

VERY polarizing list for me, but let me focus on the ones I like :mandown:

Take Yourself Home - this is the sound I want him to explore, what a shame he wasted such a great track just for the EP (which is also his career peak so far)

ok on your own was so random, I checked out the full project of mxmtoon, because of it and I liked her aesthetics, but it turned out to be boring nn

Boyfriend is kinda Selena's best single this year :mandown:

 

idk i'm not really into the "darker" kind of sound for him (tho this song is fine), it can get a bit contrived 

nn the only reason i listened to ok on your own is carly :skull: 

rare isn't that much better so i'll give you that! 

19 hours ago, jpow said:

So much good taste already :jonny5:

 

Orville, Caribou, The Chicks, Empress Of, King Princess, Calvin Harris :clap3:

 

The only flops for me are Camila and Marshmello x Demi. :alexz3: 

camila and demi flops? not something that we aren't used to :eli:

Play, Give Me Another Chance, Secret Story of the Swan, Take Yourself Home :WAP:

your graphics are soooo pretty :smitten:

 

theres a lot i like here.  gospel for new century, take yourself home, cannibal (omg... will we ever get a solo elizabeth fraser album?), ferris wheel (THEIR BEST SONG IN A MINUTE), give me another chance.  oh wow.

 

ive never heard an orville peck song in my entire life.  how crazy is that. 

thanks madonna :heart2: 

the new sylvan esso album definitely clicked a lot more for me than their previous one

nnn the people calling you out for not listening to orville peck... i only listened to him this year but i've not heard his previous stuff. his deep ass voice doesn't really do it for me :toofunny3:

EDM break, how basic can u get :eli: 

no way 1989 would've made it if rep and lover didn't :keir:

In Your Eyes, Daisies, Smile, Rare, Everything I Ever Wanted. :clap3:Another great batch!

rue is the only girl in red song i've heard :eli: i keep hearing her as some lesbian icon or smth so maybe i'll check her out more

We Fell in Love in October and I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend are good ones to start with, both with very explicit lesbian themes :eli: also Two Queens in a King Size Bed (I think she released this one just recently)

 

Anyway this set:

Glass Animals were very disappointing this year, although Your Love did grow on me a bit

IYE deserved better, I know it’s no Blinding Lights but still a great bop

EIW could’ve been a little higher too, although it’s still not nearly as good as BAF or Bad Guy

Posted

Rare, Smile, Daisies & The Man :clap3:

Posted

EIW :clap3: my favorite droplet from ha

Rare is so underrated :jonny: one of my favorite Selena songs

In Your Eyes :smitten: 

Posted

My favorites are EIW, Why Not? and In Your Eyes but I used all except 2 at some point :clap3:

  • ATRL Moderator
Posted

I'm loving the graphics by the way :heart:

 

EIW is nice and Your Love was my fave Glass Animals song of the year :clap3: 

Posted

Everything I Wanted is my favorite song from this set :heart: 

Daisies, a close second.

Posted

Gospel is good but mostly cause it sounds like Noid :jamming: Play... no words :mandown: KLK absolutely amazing :jonny5: 

Ok On Your Own, Take Yourself Home, Don't Stop, No Time To Die, Living Proof and Give Me Another Chance :clap3:

Monster is okay, not as terrible as I thought it would be :mandown: Why Not? was a massive grower, it's way too low :-*

Daisies, In Your Eyes and everything i wanted too low as well :chick3: Smile is kinda funny cause it sounds like a back to school commercial x

smile and daisies... hm

i guess you didn't really have much of a choice with katy singles.  the only good songs on smile though aren't singles (that were released in 2020 anyway)

 

 

why not is SOOOOOOOOOO good.  might be top 3 loona tracks. 

Posted

NN I kinda have the same thoughts on each of these songs - pretty nice, but not really listening to it anymore

Love to see LOONA tho even with their underwhelming efforts :mandown:

Posted

?? ???? ???? :duca:

Posted

Your Love (Déjà Vu) + everything i wanted + Daisies + Smile + The Man :jamming:

Posted

I keep staring at your graphics in awe.

 

My favorite here is The Man. What a great album Folklore was. Such a mature-sounding record. :clap3:
