K$Ellie's Best of 2020 | FINISHED


K$Ellie

Recommended Posts

Yeah  I also skipped a lot of these bubbling under/high 90s stuff. Like Hayley's for example. Those serious/over the top artpop stuff she was doing was not it. I will also never give Harry Styles the respect or time of day.

the way they've been releasing dud after dud since Wonho left, a shame cause I really liked Find You - Follow last year. Guess Who and Night View were bops I suppose

Sounds exactly like those wannabe Western boygroup rejects :rip: the lyrics are really awkward too ffff

don't know how I got roped into listening to this but erm, it's very Spotify playlist, I thought he was more of an indie gal but nah :mandown: don't know why he has that one stan on this site tbh x

this massive flop after her acclaimed last album, 4 American Dollars turned out to be the best sing :giraffe:

 

#86

this LOVELY mix of 2010s EDM and noise EDM! They should do more songs like Blueprint and On Track

 

#85

This re-issue added absolutely nothing other than Work It being one of the 5 good songs on the thing. As for 90s Love, there was a good song in there somewhere but :mandown:

 

#84

the pre-release was by far the best song ffff, their last 3 or 4 mini were very good too so I was surprised this didn't slap

 

#83

the way her first 2 EPs put together would have made a much better album :toofunny3:

SSS was such a strong debut but everything she's put out since has been super underwhelming :katie: the way she jumped on that Jhene'd chill r&b bandwagon

 

#81

Loved About Work The Dancefloor but that was pretty much the only standout :mandown: had high hopes for this but she disappointed x

Good To Know and Love Goes are also quite meh. Kesha's album is awful and Blackpink...well...k-pop :clown: 

I know the Belly stan ain't talking!!!!

The fact that you made it through 100+ albums is admirable :rip: Anyways, a good start. Don't really care for anything that left.

The only takeaway from Love Goes is Diamonds. Why they won't take the hint that dance/electronic music is what they do best is beyond me.

yup yup the ballads didn't move me at all but I generally dislike their voice soooo

The P4K format nnnn main thing I'll say is I 100% agree with you on The 1975. I was ranking that album and thinking "well come on now I know there's 2 songs I like there has to be more on a 40-song album?" no.

 

And nnn the Alma hiding, the album itself deserves to be hidden in general (but she was cute live)

 

oh spill, the way that 20+ track album had maybe an EP worth of good songs and even that's a stretch

The P4K draggins. :rip: 

 

I didn't mind Chromatica, it's grow old already but I found it much better than Joanne & ArtPop. Only redeeming thing about Changes was Intentions. :dancehall:

 

Happy you recognized Troye. :heart2: 

I would maybe tolerate Intentions but I think of it as more of a Tiktok sound rather than a real song at this point

Stray Cats and Panned & Flopped above BLOOMIZ is still a crime, but I agree that IZONE very overrated actually. CFN big bops, at least it made the list

But the most concerning part is:

is it crack? :) 

BLOOM*IZ would have been a standard k-pop album if it weren't for the pitchy strippers!!! their voices genuinely serve kidz bop at times

LOVING the Jhene lashings, the way her music is literally serving this

 

 

 

Hayley's album is such a snooze, it's such a shame :toofunny3: the rest... eh? x 

crying at how accurate this is x

Tbh a lot of these I know but never listened Bc my sixth sense said I wouldn’t enjoy it.  
 

club future nostalgia isn’t THAT bad but it’s more or less inessential.  A cute listen or two that’s it.  
 

you underrated Ava tho.  It’s sloppy but has a lot of nice throwback pop moments.  And Hayley does not deserve this.  I expected it to be bad for half of the year but when I actually listened I was blown away 

Some of them I listened for the sole purpose of panning them tbh :keir: like Bieber

I hope you were blown away by Sugar On The Rim :fan:

Petals for Armor was cute, but like nothing worth revisiting except a few songs

 

I liked Fine Line, there’s def some skips but overall I like the folk/rock influenced sound he was going for

 

Yeah Conan peaked too early with Maniac, there were too many slow songs and the upbeat ones were just not interesting enough lol

Maniac was one of the better songs for sure, I think there were some I didn't mind but overall it was quite a cheesy and reductive alberm x

Don’t think I have heard a song from any of these :mandown:

I wanna punch you for putting Hayley so low to be honest.

 

SCREAMING at your write-up for Josef Salvia, why do I feel the same ****ing way and why did I even bother listening to that album...

 

Agree with you completely with US Girls, generally agree with you for Georgia but honestly I still kinda like the album. Astrid S is WAY too high

Some of my indie friends recommended Seeking Thrills to me and i don't like it at all :skull:

 

Also kii at U.S. Girls new album getting PENNED across the board after her previous massive acclaimed album. Truly the Paula Abdul trajectory methinks :fan:

 

"the way they've been releasing dud after dud since Wonho left"  did you lie?

I didn't care much for U.S. Girl record either. Only thing I remember is that Heavy Light was one of the last records I heard before my country went lockdown mode.

Okay the back-to-back Monsta X dragging. Let it all out. <3

 

Going back through the reCRAP: Changes BTTM I know that's right. Also surprised at BP so low despite me already knowing we're on the same page with them. <3 I think All About Luv should've been down with Changes but...that's just me and I know it's YOUR list <3 Chromatica also surprised me a bit because I thought it was just...okay. Not like actively awful but not something I'd seek out.

 

Excited to get to the part where we don't hate the albums!
