theblackestday Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 World Eater >, you analyzed it better than what I would so there's that The Assassination of Julis Caesar was meh, but the last song was great and the obvious highlight for me.

World Eater Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 My friend introduced me to Ulver not that long ago, I need to dive into their discography. World Eater deserved better, such a record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Playa Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 'Silent Treatment' by Blanck Mass is one of my favourite songs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K$Ellie Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Haven't heard the Mura Masa EP but 1 Night was pretty good Lovers is pretty good. No huge standouts but it's cohesive and doesn't have much filler Oslo tho > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 15, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 #46 Torres - Three Futures I always thought of Torres as a boring PJ clone clown but this album turned me around into a (casual) fan. It's indie rock meets fuzzy gritty synths meets confessions about romance. Honestly, a lot of the songs have really good storytelling complimented by the song structures and instrumentals. Her lyricism . Check out the title track for a more calm lyrical journey but she still has songs with energy like Helen in the Woods if that's more up your alley!

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 15, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 #45 Goldfrapp - Silver Eye If there was ever an album to end a career with it would be this one. Silver Eye is a combination of all of Goldfrapp's eclectic styles meshed into one hodgepodge album. The album starts very strong with sexy synthpop and ends very strong with gloomy trip-hop. The middle section is a big miss, but the first 3/last 3 are so essential Goldfrapp. Is this them admitting they've ran out of sounds they want to do? Or will they completely re-invent in their next album...? Stay tuned. One thing that's always great in a Goldfrapp album are Alison's surprisingly versatile vocals.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 15, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) #44 Gorillaz - Humanz I feel like this was a more successful attempt at making a "Playlist" instead of an album than Drake. It' a hodgepodge of styles and high budget features that has a cohesive yet scattershot aesthetic. Really sad that it couldn't stand up to classic Gorillaz albums, but did anyone actually expect it to? Let's be thankful for Damon at least trying new things sonically and the features bringing something to the table.

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 15, 2017 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) #43 Actress - AZD Another electronic non vocal album I wish I could have spent more time with but I liked this one a lot from my limited listens! It sounds like you're caught in a super futuristic urban faux utopia hmmm. I like that the songs take almost no time getting to the good stuff yet they don't seem repetitive or exhausting.
