Top 20 Albums: #20-#16

Here is the start of my top 20 albums of the year, based on how much I liked them, and how well they've aged over a relatively short span of time!

 

#20 H.E.R. - H.E.R.

A singer I discovered through Rih ha Instagram (thanks legend). The album could be stronger had it cut a few songs here and there, but it has some nice standouts.

standouts: 2, Facts, Focus

 

#19 Sampha - Process

Perhaps best enjoyed just by one listen. Process did age nicely, but it's not per se an album I can keep coming back to. Nevertheless it's a very solid and beautiful body of work.

standouts: Incomplete Kisses, (No One Knows me) Like The Piano, Under

 

#18 Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 3

This is just a very smart record. It tackles politics, but is also fun and not too serious (which happens quite often with political music). It has hard hitting beats that impress on first listen, but also causes problems for later listens. Don't think the album as a whole is something I can keep coming back to, but there are still nice standouts, and the first few listens were great enough to earn a place in my top 20.

standouts: Thieves!, Panther like A Panther, A Report to the Shareholders/Kill Your Masters.

 

#17 Kacy Hill - Like A Woman

There's something very enchanting about this record, and I just can't really put my finger on it. The whole album is very solid, though the obvious standout, which is the title track, makes this a great listen. A very accesible album to get into, yet not so mainstream either. 

standouts: Like A Woman, Lion, Hard To Love

 

#16 Demi Lovato - Tell Me You Love Me

A surprising record tbh. I went into this era with well.. low expectations. Haven't really been feeling Demi at all after Unbroken, especially Confident left a bad taste in my mouth. TMYLM is different, Demi finally gives her voice the right songs (and not songs like Stone Cold). It's also fun, and more focused, and ultimately her most focused and most cohesive body of work. Perhaps this is relatively low on my list, but it's a very enjoyable album that will definitely be in my playlists in the time to come. 

standouts: Tell Me You Love Me, Only Forever, Hitchhiker

 

 

next update hopefully tomorrow, but maybe on thursday xo  

 

[Mark Rih]

Demi charting in the #20-#16 section in both our lists hehe

idk the others, which one should I check out

I think you'll like H.E.R. the most out of these

Khela, Harry, Allie and Jesse  pure talent there. 

true

Fifth Harmony let’s just say it ended up on the very opposite end of the spectrum on my best of

I totally agree with what you said about hfk and barely spin it anymore. Kehlani too

kii didn't expect anything else from you for 5H  

On ‎11‎-‎12‎-‎2017 at 10:26 PM, theblackestday said:

I found the Calvin album a biT underwhelming after the slayage of the flawless singles 

I mostly liked Allie X's album and Harry's was pretty nice too

ehh I somewhat get that. The (promo) singles are definitely the highlights

Glad these didn't make the final list even if Harry and Calvin were cute xo

scrihm xo

Nice set of HMs. Jessie's could've been better but I did like the singles, and I liked Collxtion 2 at first but it didn't keep up with me. 

thanks

Also, why did Queen Jessie not make the list  

she was close, sorree

On ‎11‎-‎12‎-‎2017 at 10:34 PM, Same Ol' Mistakes said:

They are all deserving honourable mentions except for 5H, which is an improvement from 7/27 but still bad.

scrihm, well that's why it's not in the top 20 n. But I don't think it's bad tbh, is it great, eh? it's definitely decent imo

On ‎11‎-‎12‎-‎2017 at 10:40 PM, Hug said:

Okay I know Halsey and hopeless fountain kingdom definitely wasn't the worst album I heard this year so yes I am familiar with something!

scrihming nn

Jessie Ware's album was nice, but a bit too safe compared to 'Devotion'. I prefer it to 'Tough Love' I think though. Allie X's was nice too!

Yeah it was a bit safe, I guess that's what made me like it, her other albums aren't Björk like, but still not the easiest to get into

I wish Collxtion II was better but there are only like 3 songs that are really worth repeating. 

ehh I have more songs that I like, but there are definitely obvious standouts

That Kehlani album is a ****ing BORE, homegirl fell OFF.

I guess it kinda helped that I listened to ha album before getting into the rest of her material

You better stan for 5H!  The precursor to Lauren's solo album being #1 when it's eventually released  

 

HFK deserves Top 20, but at least it gets acknowledged  

ahhh can't wait

Fifth Harmony didn't even deserve a mention but I can't @ you putting 7/27 on your worst list  

hopeless was done wrong, such an amazing album Glasshouse and Harry Style's placements are good

SweetSexySavage is a slay  CollXtion II is good, don't mind it missing the top 20 but Need You is cute

Need You is not cute and neither is 7/27, sue me!

22 hours ago, Tsareena said:

I like your honorary mentions. most of them were like good but didn't capture my attention enough except Kehlani's and Halsey's. I still love both

thanks

Out of the HM list I've listened only to HFK, Collxtion II and Funk Wav Bounces V1 and I think the HM ranking is pretty deserved for them. They are decent but not really outstanding. I had high hopes for Calvin's album but ended up using only Rollin (A SOTY) and Skrt On Me

I like Skrt On Me the least prolly nnn

Rollin is great though

Will never forgive you for placing the amazing "7/27" among your worst list last year but I am happy you saw the light and...

I ain't sorry, but thanks

hi

 

excited for this, of course!

HMs - Albums: Wooow at Harry Styles and CollXtion II getting snubbed They deserved WAY better!
I actually agree that Need You is the weakest from the latter, but it doesn't really bring down the album.
hopeless fountain kingdom - a cute gorl but it's been overrated from day 1.

yeah it was kind of overrated, but still quite decent.

sorree for the long ass post

atrl is acting up for me, suddenly saying when I want to post that 'a field is required' which I NEVER had

otherwise I would've done it in spoiler tags  

[Tom Vercetti]

RTJ was slightly forgotten to me but it was still solid. 

 

Sampha  

I like volume 2 of H.E.R a bit more than the first. 

[Remmy]

Demi  The Confident slander tho  Love that album, and I rarely ever use the "aged badly" excuse but Unbroken definitely doesn't sound like it used to.  The very underrated Hitchhiker being among your favorites

[Vilppu]

Process was sooo good ugh

Edited December 12, 2017 by Vilppu

[Oxygen]

I agrih about HFK. Regardless.. Walls Could Talk is still THAT song, and it made me somewhat sympathetic towards Halsey

WCT is indeed great and is one of the two songs I was referring to as 'standout'

That Kacy album was a total snoozefest, I gave up during the third song

OMFGGG. More talent now 

 

 

Sampha  

[Hug]

You dragged Confident when that song was the reason I listened to Tell Me You Love Me. Might also be the reason I never listened to it more than once...  Anyway, I am not familiar with anything else bytrfds

[Mezik]

I feel so under educated since I only know Demi's album and the Run the Jewels album.  

 

I'll give some of them a listen, this is the time of year when I discover 99% of my new faves.  

[Diet Pepsi]

I can’t believe I like a Demi Lovato album that isn’t called Unbroken,2017 was weird
