bestfiction Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 ngl I have the urge to listen to eversnore more than folklord lately overall stellar picks. I personally never connected to Blue Weekend and Planet Her though.. Jubilee is a cute girl. Rochelle, Arca, Nashe, Willow
potent Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Love Evermore and Blue Weekend, I tried Planet Her and it wasn't really my thing but there are some cute songs Angèle sounds interesting, Willow's songs were kinda giving me Maggie Lindemann vibes but like... not as interesting? idk
Moonlightbae Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 hey lemme ignore some choices that have been made so far! star-crossed is really great! love seeing you stan Life Support 333, Planet Her and Evermore are also great

TheWayWeWere Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Star-crossed was nice Life Support had its moments, but it should've been better Blue Weekend is masterpiece Planet Her, lately I feel everything, evermore
kiiwii Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 star-crossed is cute enough, i suppose. life support your score for angèle is promising, i need to listen to ha 333 i think i like it more than SFY as well.
K$Ellie Posted December 25, 2021 Author Posted December 25, 2021 2021 Albums AOTY material 10. Poppy - Flux 9. Aly & AJ - a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun 8. Arca - KicK iii 7. St. Vincent - Daddy’s Home 6. Erika de Casier - Sensational 5. Spellling - The Turning Wheel 4. Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World 3. Slayyyter - Troubled Paradise 2. Halsey - If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power 1. Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever Spoiler Poppy: whew didn't think she'd come close to I Disagree (which was #6 with an 8.9 as well last year) but this is just as good if not better I was mixed on the singles, especially Flux, but they all grew on me a lot. the second half is so good and has all the highlights Aly & AJ: didn't pay much attention to their new music until this album, everything is perfect except the 2 ballads. Pretty Places. Break Yourself, Slow Dancing, Lucky To Get Him and Listen!!! are my faves Arca: didn't think any of these albums would come close to kick i and they didn't at first but i've come to realise this is the best kick album Bruja, Incendio, Skullqueen and Rubberneck are some of my favorites of the whole series St. Vincent: didn't like this on first listen but it grew quickly. love the cohesive sound of the album, her best along with Strange Mercy. Live In The Dream, Melting Of The Sun and ...At The Holiday Party were my favorite Erika De Casier: perfect pop album, love the throwback sound Drama, Polite and Busy >>> Spellling: i dragged her vocals when i first heard them but they work on this album, it really takes off after the first 3 songs for me and then the streak from Emperor with an Egg to Revolution is just Magdalena Bay: this is exactly what I've been wanting from them, all their music before was cute but never really went there in the way that almost every song on this album did. Follow The Leader and Domino are among my faves probably because they remind me of Crystal Castles and Grimes The Beginning, Secrets, You Lose and Hysterical Us are also excellent Slayyyter: was convinced this would be my aoty for half the year and any other year it would have been but there was to much competition, a huge step up from her mixtape which had a few bops. oddly enough the two best songs were the only singles that didn't get videos Halsey: even though i loved Manic and it grew on me a lot, it felt like quite a step down for her considering her first two albums were my aotys. this put her back on track and would have been another aoty for her if Billie hadn't released one of my favorite albums ever You asked for this, Easier Than Lying, The Lighthouse and Lilith >>> Billie: one of my favorite albums ever! i could list half the album as my favorites but this is my ranking that i'm fairly set on (some songs move one or two positions every once in a while) 1. Oxytocin 2. Happier Than Ever 3. Lost Cause 4. Your Power 5. I Didn’t Change My Number 6. Everybody Dies 7. NDA 8. Therefore I Am 9. Halley’s Comet 10. Billie Bossa Nova 11. GOLDWING 12. OverHeated 13. Male Fantasy 14. my future 15. Getting Older 16. Not My Responsibility
Sanguine Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 What Spellling’s score COULD have been if Pitchfork had taste :nickicry: Amazing top ten offc
potent Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Honestly there's a fair amount on here that either didn't seem interesting to me or I just couldn't get into, HTE and Mercurial World are great albums though Domino is a bop Everyone is rating Getting Older so low
Lazuli Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 mercurial world, iichliwp kick iii and daddy's home oh wow billie #1 deserved i suppose! getting older doesn't deserve to be second last tho!
Remmy Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 star-crossed is cute, has a pretty ugly closing track though... and better than GH? HUH??? I agree that WILLOW found her sound, I just wish I enjoyed it more 333 and evermore are solid followups but a bit weaker than the predecessors. I can say the same for Flux actually, kiiii! Interesting to see you enjoy the 2nd half more, tracks #7/8 are fillers tbh. A few cute songs on Daddy's Home. Aly & AJ OMG my saviors!!!!! IICHL,IWP was a step up from Manic for sure! Happier Than Ever #1 okay she has her moments, just not in love with it overall. When people were panning the singles I thought they were overhated, then plenty started switching, praised the album and I thought it was overrated
TheWayWeWere Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Aly & AJ in top 10 QUEENS HTE vs IICHLIWP must've been hard to choose
bestfiction Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Absolutely incredible top 10 period bestie The only two albums I haven't really connected with yet is IICHLIWP and a touch of the beat but I think Hasley's album has potential to grow on me just like Manic did
BlackoutZone Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 Ugh this is an amazing top 10, but you had to include 1 major sneak, I won't say who but I'm a known O*H already Love to see the acclaim for exceptional A&J album and fully agree about Magdalena Bay write up, it literally feels so correct that this is their debut album. Everything prior to this felt cute, but not there yet so they waited just long enough to perfect their music and release a great full length debut. Need to get into Spellling eventually, but literally had the same problem - her voice. Flux also a bit too high for me, I still prefer I Disagree for its highs
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 Aly & AJ, St. Vincent, SPELLING, Magdalena Bay, Slayyyter and Bilie Eilish at 1. Just wow.
witness1.3 Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 a touch of the beat, Daddy's Home, IICHLIWP, Happier Than Ever
