SLIME Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Albums - Honorable Mentions (pt. 1) These were the albums that didn't make the top 50 cut for various reasons but I still feel were worth the listen. Am just gonna put em up in bursts as I have the time, in some order approximating the furthest calls leading up to the closest. Cashmere Cat, 9 • Ariel Pink, Dedicated to Bobby Jameson • alt-J, Relaxer • Feist, Pleasure Mac DeMarco, This Old Dog • Arca, Arca • Destroyer, Ken • Toro y Moi, Boo Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Vercetti Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Digging a lot of past #1s. And that HM's list is pretty reasonable. Alt J was pretty forgettable for me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF. Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Arca deserved tbh but yeah I'm cool with the rest not being on the list. Cashmere Cat and Feist were interesting though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluth Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 poor feist her snooze great album cover tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 11, 2017 ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2017 Never listened to Ken. I think I could have enjoyed a song or two from it too. Didn't bother with Arca/Alt J cause I don't like them. 9 has well produced songs that are mostly teribly written. Boo Boo and the Ariel album are cute, but yeah I ended up tossing them aside after a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLIME Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Really wanted to like the Feist album and it probably deserves another try, but that first listen was ... not the move. 3 minutes ago, Tom Vercetti said: Digging a lot of past #1s.

Vilppu Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Loved Grizzly Bear, liked Feist, Rina and tried to get to Ariel Pink's album but only like two songs sticked, one however was brilliant. haven't heard most of the others but Haim definitely sucked nn.

Tom Vercetti Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Shabazz Palaces did a lot for me, but I found the 2nd album they released this year a bit more satisfying. Saturation 1 had some killer singles. Wasn't a fan of haim or *****graphers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Eater Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The only good thing about STTY was the font they used on the cover, which I stole and used on my graphics And speaking of disappointments, Painted Ruins did nothing on me. Quarz and RINA were so good tho, Saturation also had its moments but II is clearly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 11, 2017 ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2017 I listened to high ticket attractions so many times this year but never the full release. Got lazy lol. Rina deserves a spot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STTY was clearly underwritten and too repetitive. Like, I can't believe they spent almost 4 years working on it And don't let me even start on Disclosure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Eater Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Woo, there's part 3 That Hoops album was really good, it reminded me of early Wild Nothings. I feel like I need to revisit Gang Signs & Prayer but from what I rihmember it was nice. Shut Up is still that song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 kinda crazy having Skepta at 15 last year then Wiley/Stormz bubbling under when they could show him a LOT lyrically,,,....... but I guess that's the power of delivery and/or grime overload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 11, 2017 ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2017 I didn't listen to Boomiverse since I knew I would be disappointed. Mrua Masa's is cute, HM worthy for me as well maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
