So relaxing and so fresh. Once again less is more. Some parts of this album reminded me of Jamie XX - In Colour.

It's one of these albums to listen to at very late night to fully appreciate it.

I love instrumental albums like these so no wonder it's high on my list. :cm: 

Highlight: Lush

 

8.5+/10

It's kinda strange that a lot of Tove haters seem to like Disco **** but it grew on me a lot and it slays so I'm here for it :keir:

10-20-40 is nice, Take Me As I Am is my fave on the EP tho :jamming:

10-20-40 is definitely one of the best songs on the album :jamming: I'm so glad Rina is getting so much acclaim, come thru :jonny:

Not a big fan of Tove Lowsales, but with each album she manages to make at least one great song :jonny:

Yaeji's first album will be a masterpiece.

Guess I'll be the party pooper and say that "DNA." is miles better than "ELEMENT." Or was that madonnas? :eli:

Mount Eerie was a TOUGH listen. Very hard for me to go back to.

 

I love Drunk! I have surprisingly yet to listen to the whole album drunk. Still need to listen to that Four Tet record...

I definitely liked Slowdive more than you did. :eli:

 

But that Mount Eerie album is special. I'll talk about it more later, but I don't think I've encountered an album quite like it. I've listened to songs and albums dealing with death before, but nothing quite like this.

You're serving :jonny: Still need to catch up with Four Tet's latest releases nn

Posted

drunk + slowdive were both amazing <3 i thought a crow looked at me was cute and the raw emotion really was palpable but it kinda felt one-note lyrically imho :emofish:

i can't really write anything about it because it's such a tough topic also this is probably the first album that made my eyes watery just at the start and whenever i hear like 5 seconds of anything from it i wanna cry immediately :emofish:

Now you know it's really gonna blow

 

PHURURRRRRR

 

At first i thought this place would go to Sober but oh wow...

This is my favourite song from Melodrama and probably Lorde's career highlight along with Ribs and Buzzcut Season.

Unfortunately this amazing BOP was harmed with this ugly remix which is unforgivable. I'm glad that she performed it on VMAs because it was so iconic.

X-C-X CHARLI

Honestly stanning Charli this year was so good. The amount of leaked material and released songs that we get is just impressing. It was hard for me to pick a song from Choli to this countdown because I didn't want to include leaked material.  At the end of the day RWM is a career highlight.

However - in my opinion this place also belongs to almost all of N1A and unreleased songs like Bounce and Round & Round. When it comes to Pop 2 it's of course Delicious and Porsche. Charli why you do this? I should do XCXcountdown only.

I thought that Mike wouldn't top anything from Too Bright but I guess he just did. The production on this one is insane for me, it's so good!  BIG highlight from No Shape and definitely CAREER highlight. Such an underrated track that sounds nothing like anything released this year.

My relationship with MASSEDUCTION is interesting. I hate and love it at the same time. I blame Jack Antonoff but I will speak more about it later today. I will not snub Sugarlegend and that's that on that. You can hate new St. Vincent sound as much as you want but this deserves praising. :clap3:

It really sounds like an outtake from Hopelessness and I kinda wish it was on it because it's simply better than half of it.

That's all. Interesting choices ANOHNI.

I didn't expect Miss vuhexrt.gif to be so high :eek: Love all the picks though :clap3:

Posted

I've just joined in :gaycat4: and what I see, whew :jonny5:Hommade Dynamite is amazing, my second fave song from Melodrama

totally agree about the remix! it was so unnecessary, if they wanted to make a remix, they should've called Tove Lo bc she was a freakin' co-writer and it would've suited her well.

SugarGOD is great as well, definitely a MASSEDUCTION's highlight. I'm not really digging into St. Vincent so I've found the album pretty enjoyable.

Posted

Those are some choices for sure

sooo many fantastic choices so far sis :jonny2:

 

Adam Copies goes so hard, Will did that tbh. Wiseblood is an obvious Okovi highlight. Disco **** is such a fantastic bop. An Intention is such a beautiful song and i adore the lyrics.

 

I didnt even know Doldrums released an album this year :skull:

Anyway, The Kid, Love What Survives and Death Peak are fantastic choices imo

 

Raingurl is a ****ing BOP and Silent Treatment is enormous and beautiful.

 

New Energy, Slowdive :clap3:

 

Homemade Dynamite is... familiar :eli: And I agree, Go Ahead is a highlight. Its so unique.
