Ass Education is a great album.  I think it's misunderstood and will be viewed better as time goes on.  I do not think it is half baked, I think she wanted a disjointed album to reflect the state of her life.  

Def other way around, but I respect your wrong opinion

Agree with melodrama but the song choices are switched sis (aside from perfect places)

 

agree with masseducation too but song choices are severely switched (aside from happy birthday trashy)

Welp at least we agree on the albums!

Utopia and her legendary status 

We love an impactful icon

I liked N1A (in fact some of the songs are my most streamed this year ) but it was definitely 10 steps down from VV EP

Tea only.

Omg are we not the same person? I thot I was the only one who disliked the Lorde and St. Vincent’s albums ? even though Messeduction grew a bit in my, Melodrama (along with DAMN.) are some of the most overrated albums ever. Sorry not sorry.

Gonna ignore the brackets but taste otherwise  I genuinely tried to get Melodrama but just couldn't.

I agree with Calvin, I have loved EVERY album of his, this year was a mess...i guess because it was all urban and its my least favourite genre. 

I haven't heard his other albums, but he had several bops I enjoyed from previous years

I wouldn't call Melodrama or Masseduction disappointments per se but the rest were not really my thing, I agree with you on those 

Glad we could reach an agreement

Wow we could not disagree more on several of these but glad u spilled some truth about Emotional!

Yeezus, sweetie, I'm so sorry...

I l*ke Melo a lot.  even though I do agree it's a bit messy. But "The Louvre" one of your least faves when you put "Sober II" as one of your faves is lowkey... sus. I don't get why would you dislike 'Number 1 Angel'

 

But yeah I agree with Mass being #1.  although I think my biggest disappointment this year was by far Arcade Fire

 

[Vilppu]

this is the controversy I came here for

 

I don't even know where to begin with this, listing HBJ and The Louvre as lowlights are probably the most criminal but to an extent, I agree on Calvin being underwhelming after the singles and I don't even need to listen to Whiter Now to know it sucks

 

[Uncatena]

Number 1 Angel is indeed trash, so is Younger Now

 

You know how I feel about Melodrama and Masseduction

 

Never even listened to the Calvin album, I would waste my time

[Escape]

Roll With Me & ILY2 were the only songs I used from N1A, not you listing one of them as your least fave... same with Melodrama, The Louvre was among my favorites.

 

 

[Mark Rih]

Ugh no I love FWB

but at least you stan for the singles

 

Melodrama making the disappointments list I really don't get the praise for it, PH was MUCH better.

[artangels]

not n1a and melodrama  

[Wicked]

Melodrama is manure. 

[Bloodflowers.]

you better drag Charli and Miley albums sis

 

[Body Electrician]

Melodrama is amazing sis wyd

[Dom]

younger now was a huge disappointment after malibu especially.

Didn't even bother listening to Arcade Fire's album

Paradise is a companion EP to last year's highly political Hopelessness, showcasing a more experimental approach with similar themes. I just wanted to give this a shoutout cause it gets a lot of hate, and while I'm not the biggest fan of it either, it's not far off from Hopelessness' level imo.

 

favorite: Jesus Will Kill You, You Are My Enemy || least favorite: I Never Stopped Loving You

Sadly, only three new songs and two remixes, but I must say, I didn't expect this to be as good as it is. All the new songs are just as good as anything on Currents, and possibly even better. The remixes are also great and give us a nice and different take on the original versions.

 

favorite: Taxi's Here || least favorite: the remixes

 

Quote

A very groovy and well composed and produced record, and Amber's vocals are very pleasant. It works perfectly as an EP cause I don't see it work as well as a full-length. I get some major Drake vibes, but it feels much more authentic and genuine, and simply better and more enjoyable.

 

favorite: S P A C E || least favorite: Journey Into the Unknown

 

Quote

Ugh, I just really love dark and aggressive industrial music like this, and this EP executes it quite perfectly.

 

favorite: Tainted Empire, Tactical Precision Disarray || least favorite: Vantablack

was there not a 10th good EP to make it an even number

 

The Currents extras were cute, List of People was my favourite but Taxi's Here snatched too. Listened to your fave from Amber's release and it's a bop.

In My Dreams was the only song I liked from ANOHNI's EP, didn't care for the rest. I'll check the Amber Mark EP out.

Also  at Perturbator, you should check Nocturne City EP out too  If you haven't already.

There Is No Love Highway is pobably my ultimate favorite by Perturbator

 

You better not snub Yaeji

 

[Unoriginal]

The Amber comment is literally my exact feeling towards it 

[Mudkip]

u better have sigrid in your top 5 or i'll swing some hands

[Tom Vercetti]

Good looks on Pertubator & Amber Mark. I'd much prefer a new Tame album rather than the 3 song leftovers they gave us but eh.
