K$Ellie's Best of 2021 - finished


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hm...agreeable score for Formula of Love! ...maybe I'd have it a bit higher? Idk. Anyway I know that album! I completely forgot Spaceman, all I remember is that it transitioned well from song to song. It can stay there, sure!

Spoiler

Chung Ha: some great standouts and a few fillers here and there, would have been an 8+ album if she cut like 4 songs.

Lingua Ignota: I appreciate her artistry but never wanna listen to this again!

girl in red: didn't know she was so PANNED but tiktok got it right idc this was cute

PinkPantheress: all the songs are good, I'm not even gonna say it but we all know x

Arca: first 5 songs are EXCELLENT but the album falls off a bit after that, would have been a much better album if the rest sounded more like that

Jessie Ware: not as good as the original album but some very cute rejects here!

VanJess: Come Over Again is SO good and better than the original ahhhh

Maggie Lindemann: hope she continues in this direction, it suits her

Pearl Charles: really like the overall sound of this album, nice listen all the way through

SHINee: 3rd highest k-pop album, they washed nct a bit this year!

serpentwithfeet: better than his debut I think, Sailors' Superstition and Heart Storm are the obvious standouts

Kinda expected better from Girl in Red, but the album wasn't bad imo :michael:

Faye's was cute too

Platinum Pleasure edition is great

Glad to see Maggie getting some appreciation :clap:

Platinum Pleasure is a blueprint for future deluxes :jonny5:

querencia :clap3: chung ha gave but she didn't really gave to the highest of giving. definitely could do with some cutting! 

to hell with it, kick ii, wyp? :clap3: 

texis :jonny: a great return to form! 

 

Posted

Not 8+ range and you "weren't obsessed with" the inflation :coffee:

Querencia was so promising, but it feels like half-filler, half-interludes, I like the highlights a lot tho

Platinum Pleasure serve as expected, PinkPantheres and DEACON very cute

Atlantis amazing, they indeed washed NCT this year (not that it was hard), but they've been serving quality

 

Friendly reminder to stream this :gaycat4:

36. Faye Webster - I Know I’m Funny haha

35. PinkPantheress - to hell with it

 

I liked this set, particularly. Both of them getting 8/10. :clap3:

Oh just added Magic Mirror to my list of albums to hear hours ago :alexz3: I need Pinkpantheress to make some longer songs or I'm never gonna get into ha... if i could make it go quiet, very cute! I Know I'm Funny haha was fine yeah pretty much nothing new for her. WYP? (TPPE) mmm that was a lovely collection of deluxe tracks!! except for 0208

Posted

I've seen that Miniseries album on so many lists. I need to check it out. WTF is girl in red doing so high skdhslhdkslhd WOW.

 

Faye & Jessie's re-release being so high tho WHEW. OMGGGGG you putting Pearl Charles so high!!!!! She deserves! Underrated queen!

Roadrunner, SOUR, LYWW Vol. 3, Dawn, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, LILAC, Formula of Love, Something for Thee Hotties, times and 30 not under 7.0. Certified accalaim :jonny5: 

Querencia is so good. I blame for Korean GP for letting it flop like it's doesn't make sense :angry: to hell with it, KICK ii, PARANOIA, Texis:jonny5:

 

Other than the singes, Homegrown & The Book aren't clicked with me yet

Ahhh NU'EST...maybe too low idk!  Can't really argue with any of the rest of these.

 

I do think it's funny that SM just threw (Vampire) onto favorite to make it Halloween themed. The lazy.

the way NOTHING about it was related to Halloween except that shjfghsd

Never listened to Godzilla, was that the one with Biting My Tongue and Think of Me?

Silk Sonic was nothing epic, but enjoyable for what it is imo

TWOD's album was decent but just kinda samey

Screen Violence was definitely better than their previous album!

nah that was Human, the filler album :-*

DEMIDEVIL + LYWW Vol 3 are both cute projects :alexz3: 30 has a few duds, still ended up being pretty solid. Juno :smitten: Wow really wasn't expecting Spaceman to almost make the top 50, people really don't understand that Nick knows how to serve a pop bop...

Nick's album was surprisingly cute, I was almost embarrassed to put it that high :fan:

 

On 12/19/2021 at 11:06 AM, Hikari said:

Mood Valiant is a  lil bit overhated but we're glad to see it chart here x

 

Sour's placing was fine. Everyone really giving Nick that payola huh? Should we really bother with that album?

 

You could've moved IU and Twice's albums up more. 

 

Tho I loved the snail mail album, the rating was fine as well. Indigo on the other hand should be higher!

 

You should've put Remi above Adele at least! 

Nick's album wasn't bad but I wouldn't promote it to people :fan:

Twice's album had some filler in the middle otherwise they could have been a bit higher :gaycat3:

wow adele missing top 40 :eek: 

formula of love :jonny: twice never misses with their full albums 

valentine is cute 

any shape you take :jonny: so good

SOUR so low tho :emofish: 

I thought their 2019 stuff was a lot better than their last 3 albums (including the JP one) :keir:

This is another decent update, I feel like I barely see you in music section let alone on twitter nowadays so I forget you have taste :gaycat4:

I'd put BROCKHAMPTON, Olivia or Ashnikko a lower (tho I agree with Demidevil note, it's just a bit too messy), but most of the list got very similar rating from me

Agree about SIMBI, how it's not something I'd listen so myself in whole daily (especially since it's a long album), but at the same time it's really damn good and I feel the urge to come back to it often. LILAC big improvement for IU and her often generic crap no shade, Nick served a bit too. Love to see times and 30, both great. Also agree about Formula being more about consistency rather than stand outs, but it's what makes it their best full project for me. Apart from HELLO there isn't anything bad and the highlights are truly great.

 

I sometimes post in music news threads still but yeah :gaycat4:

Lilac was better than her usual stuff but you should check out Modern Times if you haven't already :jonny5:

On 12/20/2021 at 12:32 AM, Ewan Chaos said:

Hiatus, Little Simz, Indigo, SG Lewis, Illuminati Hotties, Remi, CHAI :clap:

 

Olivia is quite too high esp given what you've decided to put below her tho :mandown:

Olivia probably a bit high considering her album was mostly good for the singles tbh :mandown:

she's done better before but I was happy to get a full album from her finally :jonny2:

they were all really good albums I just never had a phase of spamming them :keir:

I get what you mean about Querencia, she could have cut a good amount of it to make it better :/

this bops a bit actually, too bad he didnt put out a mini with it :gaycat4:

Spoiler

Arca: doesn't have the standouts that the first 3 kicks do but it's more consistent, only my 3rd favorite behind i and iii tho!

Kacey: this is way better than Golden Shower idc

Madison: way overhated, her music bops

Rei Ami: she's so underrated ahhhhh all her music slaps, just needed Mac & Cheese on this mixtape

Angèle: she doesn't sound obnoxiously French like Christine does and her music is way better!

TXT: the re-release with that AWFUL bside dragged the score down quite a bit :skull: but still a great album overall, kinda nostalgic to me now fff

Tinashe: better than SFY but Aquarius remains her best, I would put this after Nightride as well but great album from her

Willow: she found her sound ahhhhh it's short but there are no fillers

Doja: was excited and nervous to see how she'd follow up Hot Pink but she delivered!!! full of bops, only the Ariana song drags it down

Taylor: not as excellent as folklore but still one of my favorites from her, she really redeemed herself after Loser :jonny2:

 

Posted

Uh uh GREAT list :clap3:

I wish I liked TXT this year more tho, I ain't really clicking with anything when everyone seems to stan.

Ninante-cinq was such a pleasant surprise, amazing album and my favorite album cover of the year too! The accent comment is so funny, but it's understandable since Christine is French and Angele is Belgian nnn

Life Support surprisingly high tho, but Im not complaining, its decent
