#50

an okay album that could have been an excellent EP. I don't use the songs in the middle at all except Believer, basically only the first and last 3 are good  also the title track is massively overrated, Up No More and Say Something miles better

 

#49

More consistent than his previous album but also less interesting and experimental  not bad just not something I'm dying to hear again other than a handful of songs

 

#48

the original EP was just okay but the new songs were significantly better imo, especially Moment and Bye Bye Baby

 

#47

some bops here and there, too bad the ballads dragged it down quite a lot

 

#46

Not a bad album by any means but her weakest effort thus far, I guess she set the standard too high after Super Sunset which was deffo superior

 

#45

Snail set my expectations a biT too high for this so I was underwhelmed but it's still a solid album. Sheesh and Winter were my fave new songs

 

#44

had this a lot lower initially but recently some of the songs hit me  still a few songs i'm not huge on but claws, c2.0, party 4 u, detonate and anthems go off

 

#43

a BTS member delivering a much better surprise release mixtape than their own album  People is better than anything on MOTS:7

 

#42

this is v overhated but I'm probably saying this since I haven't heard their debut which is meant to be their best by far. I'm sure if I were a fan from the start the 0 evolution would get boring but I barely listen to them 

 

#41

title track is by far the best song, one of my fave male releases of the year too  the b-sides don't compare but they're all cute

[Alex]

all non-events i fear

[BlackoutZone]

AHH what a streak

WOMB aged tho, but I agree it’s overhated

I was anticipating 1BV on your list  

Hey u x really pleasantly surprised me

EWO was a bit underwhelming but they are going in the right direction 

[Psycho]

I agree with you on EWO, a cute 6 song EP I fear
I preferred the first half of Strangers / Lovers but the album was pretty solid overall
Cape God weakest Allie project, Super Sunset amazing [2]
HIFN seems to be a big grower

[Legend E]

all non-events i fear [2]

[Tom Vercetti]

I didn't like the art-rock approach yves tumor made  Dagny doesn't do crap for me and the way she's constantly payola'd in the games section 

hifn is an event, yes it is. 

[Ewan Chaos]

Dagny and Allie X, disgustingly too high xo

 

I actually kinda liked Yves's album from this year about the same as his 2018 album. The consistency of it actually made me play it more, but I totally recognize their previous album is "objectively" better or whatever.

 

How I'm Feeling Now, talent. Hey, c2.0 love too, I hate when people rag on that song. It's like... the "emotional" centerpiece of the album.

[madonnas]

twice album is good.  probably their best release.  the way they get better with age, truly the new generation snstd.

 

tbh, the yves album was underwhelming to me.  while his album before felt super varied and strong, this just felt like a couple great songs with a bunch of filler.  decent, enjoyable filler, but still filler.

 

i have no idea why allie, benee, and dagny are this high.  they are not bad ARTISTS but all their works really really let me down and filed to live up to their hype/talent.  they should be punished, not enabled!  i guess benee's the best of the 3 (but allie has the best song xx)

 

how im feeling now, too low.  its timeless. 

[bestfiction]

glad that Miss XXX have grown on you, detonate SOTY/ROTY me thinks! c2.0 a bop too

I've listened to Yves only once tbh 

TWICE is deffo brought down by a couple of fillers but it was still nice

Allie's album suffers from the same issue as Purity Ring, just too sterile for me

[Mezik]

Allie X & Charli XCX both released some quality albums this year. I especially enjoyed Charli's!  

[Brandon]

?????? ??? + ????? 

[potent]

Didn't hear any of these, but maybe I'll listen to BENEE's considering I liked her EP from last year and I've seen this one appearing on some Best Ofs

Yeah Dagny is just like... not interesting to me idk

[ikiru]

charli and exo-sc

allie x and dagny's albums were really underwhelming tbh

benee's album was cute! sheesh is a great song!

[K$Ellie]

I'm gonna get lashed a bit in the next update cause a certain panned pop girl album is quite high

[Lazuli]

eyes wide open yas  but yes a lot of the middle tracks could be cut tbh. stan say something  

good that you came around how i'm feeling now  

purity ring album was meh 

[mokitsu]

dagny yves and charli all delivered..... m&m kinda outsold eyo but prob because its shorter, i agree that those bsides are better than ICSM

 

[mokitsu]

perched for the rare/manic inclusion

Common OUT at #73 and I would never place Halshit this low

You kinda didn't lie here about Purity Ring

[prézli]

You better stan anthems, SIS

[Sanguine]

Purity Ring being higher than Charli... now what was that

 

Accurate for Benee and Allie, though I think the Collxtions are superior to both SS and CG

 

Dagny was disappointing sadly

 

[Blue Rose]

Yves and Allie X  

my faves from this set 

[K$Ellie]

wanna get this next update out of the way cause those are the good albums that just fell short, and then we're onto the true great releases of the year with the top 30 

[ARTPØP]

Hey U X is really a great debut album 

 

How I'm Feeling Now 

[TheWayWeWere]

I didn't liked Yves' album, but Kerosene SLAYS me so much
