ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted December 26, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 26, 2017 Quote A pretty boring album overall.

TheWayWeWere Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 not you bitch slamming both Paramore and Jesussie both albums was great
Ghostlysnaker Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 "After Laughter" and "Evolve" I don't find Paramore's album disappointing, though
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 26, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 26, 2017 I think AL is paramore's best. HOW can you not like Pool's chorus?
alexanderao Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Agree with you on Evolve. It didn't make my top 10 albums list, but it has some solid tracks (especially IMIUTY). I really like DITD though
lhdang2000 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 The weirdest thing is that I don't like any of After Laughter & Evolve except for the singles.
potent Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Well I haven't heard Jessie's album but I loved Midnight so maybe I'll give it a try. Evolve I actually used Smoke + Mirrors though, I think it just wasn't pop friendly enough.
Eeveelution Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Quote This is the first Jessie Ware album I've heard and it doesn't make me wanna check out the rest of her discography Well, you should cause Glasshouse is her worst by some distance.

Kesha - Praying These Heaux is so good, glad you agree that it's her best sing Green Light is... nice? But disjointed and the album has better bops I liked Hard Times but Told You So and Tell Me How are better x New Rules is v/ cute, and I'm also shook at ATRL getting its smash for once Disco T!ts is her best song, glad you came around to it after pretending to hate it LWYMMD is a mess, a decent lead single but a bad song in general Touch is such a great song, the only great one on Glory Days tbh Now or Never really grew on me, much better than Needed Me imo Yikes That high note is so good I'm so glad she managed to get an album out

Inner Insanity Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 After Laughter is a slay. Sorry you can't see the magic that is the lyrical content and amazing production. The songs overall may be more low-key than some of their past stuff but that doesn't make them bad. There's more to music than choruses. Besides you stan LWYMMD and its godawful non-chorus. Evolve
K$Ellie Posted December 26, 2017 Author Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Top 20 Albums #15. Charli XCX - Number 1 Angel Rating: 7.7 | Peak: #5 Highlights: Drugs, White Roses, Roll With Me, Lipgloss Spoiler Dreamer (8) - 25 Plays 3AM (Pull-Up) (8.5) - 22 Plays Blame It On You (7) - 14 Plays Roll With Me (9.5) - 28 Plays Emotional (3) - 3 Plays Ily2 (3) - 3 Plays White Roses (9.5) - 46 Plays Babygirl (8.5) - 17 Plays Drugs (10) - 47 Plays Lipgloss (9.5) - 36 Plays =211 Plays So originally I didn't like this album/mixtape much, and was only into the 3 songs released before the rest (Lipgloss, Pull Up, Dreamer). After a few months, I got into White Roses/Babygirl/Drugs and pretty much enjoyed the whole thing other than Emotional and Ily2 which are still trash. Drugs is now easily my favorite White Roses is so underrated I love Roll With Me but the breakdown is still a lil annoying. Lipgloss is a mess, but a v cute mess. I love how it jumps to CupcakKe's verses so abruptly Pop 2 isn't as good but it's growing on me and might end up making my list next year. Track 10 is lowkey better than anything on N1A #14. Kelly Clarkson - Meaning Of Life Rating: 7.8 | Peak: #6 Highlights: Meaning Of Life, Medicine, Love So Soft Spoiler A Minute (Intro) (x) - 8 Plays Love So Soft (9.5) - 20 Plays Heat (7.5) - 9 Plays Meaning Of Life (10) - 23 Plays Move You (7) - 8 Plays Whole Lotta Woman (8.5) - 9 Plays Medicine (9.5) - 18 Plays Cruel (5) - 7 Plays Didn't I (8.5) - 8 Plays Would You Call That Love (7.5) - 6 Plays I Don't Think About You (6) - 6 Plays Slow Dance (7) - 6 Plays Don't You Pretend (7.5) - 6 Plays Go High (8) - 6 Plays =140 Plays Another album that's good all the way through and consistent in terms of quality, with only one dud (Cruel). I wasn't even gonna listen cause the lead(s) were nice but nothing special and Piece By Piece didn't leave a good impression Heat is good but overrated, Medicine or the title track need to be the next single #13. Lorde - Melodrama Rating: 7.9 | Peak: #3 Highlights: Green Light, Homemade Dynamite, Sober Spoiler Green Light (10) - 326 Plays Sober (9.5) - 45 Plays Homemade Dynamite (10) - 115 Plays The Louvre (9) - 26 Plays Liability (3) - 11 Plays Hard Feelings/Loveless (8) - 14 Plays Sober II (Melodrama) (7) - 11 Plays Writer In The Dark (9) - 31 Plays Supercut (8.5) - 23 Plays Liability (Reprise) (6) - 10 Plays Perfect Places (7) - 20 Plays =632 Plays I never liked Melodrama as much as everyone else, it has some bops but I liked Jack's work on Reputation and MASSEDUCTION more I have no idea why Green Light was so polarizing when it's the best song on the album. Homemade Dynamite is a slay too and should have been the second single Writer In The Dark is a huge grower, wasn't too fond of it at first but it's great She didn't pull it off with Liability tho Liability (Reprise) and Sober II are pretty useless, they're not bad tho. Perfect Places is v overrated and Hard Feelings would have been better without Loveless. I didn't get the Supercut stanning at first but it grew on me #12. VÉRITÉ - Somewhere In Between Rating: 8 | Peak: #3 Highlights: Better, Floor, Death Of Me Spoiler When You're Gone (7) - 20 Plays Phase Me Out (6) - 13 Plays Death Of Me (9.5) - 45 Plays Bout You (8) - 23 Plays Better (10) - 95 Plays Need Nothing (8.5) - 34 Plays Saint (8) - 20 Plays Solutions (9) - 30 Plays Floor (10) - 65 Plays Somewhere In Between (5) - 8 Plays Nothing (9) - 33 Plays Control (8) - 22 Plays Freedom Of Falling (6) - 7 Plays =415 Plays This girl is so underrated, her sound is very similar to BANKS' and I think she's almost on the same level. To me, the album starts with Death Of Me because the first two singles seem like they were tacked onto the start and sound nothing like the rest They're also some of my least favorite, especially Phase Me Out even though the verses are cute. I suppose @Diarrhoea is the fatty that got me into her, but I had heard of her before anyway Better is my fave for sure, such a bop Floor is slower than most of the other songs but it's beautiful I would have put her in the top 10 if the title track hadn't been so boring Still, it's a very solid album and I'm perched for her future releases #11. Kelela - Take Me Apart Rating: 8.1 | Peak: #3 Highlights: LMK, Onanon, Truth Or Dare Spoiler Frontline (7) - 21 Plays Waitin (7.5) - 22 Plays Take Me Apart (7.5) - 20 Plays Enough (8.5) - 33 Plays Jupiter (5.5) - 18 Plays Better (8) - 29 Plays LMK (10) - 162 Plays Truth Or Dare (10) - 46 Plays S.O.S. (5.5) - 17 Plays Blue Light (9) - 40 Plays Onanon (10) - 52 Plays Turn To Dust (9.5) - 40 Plays Bluff (x) - 16 Plays Altadena (7.5) - 18 Plays =534 Plays LMK made me think this album would be full of bops so I was disappointed when I first listened and it was much slower than I expected. After a couple of plays, I started getting into it. A really great debut album, would have been even better without the 2 minute songs that drag its score down. I still think she's better at doing uptempo songs since those are my 3 faves on the album but I can appreciate her slower songs like Turn To Dust and Enough too Edited December 26, 2017 by K$Ellie
potent Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 3/5 Kelly Green Light is a grower but almost everything on the album is better
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted December 26, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 26, 2017 After Laughter and whew @ us placing it in the same spot Glasshouse isn't boring and you should still check out Tough Love and Devotion, they're very different to Glasshouse CXII was nice I wasn't into N1A and haven't heard MoL SiB Floor being one of your favourites Melodrama is too low Take Me Apart the acclaim don't drag the short songs tho they're good

Honestly if you don't like her she's too sophisticated for you and that's all there is to it. She's the only pop girl I would call a "genius" writer. Not a clunky lyric to be found! And SLAY at "Praying." We went soooo fast from "Will she ever release or be heard of ever again?" (and very seriously) so when I heard "Praying" and that "and you said that I was done, but you were wrong and now the best is yet to come" I remember the tears welling up. It was an emotional moment for everyone - and to see it go on and be really successful, loved and to change the public's perception of her? Ugh, no one has ever deserved success more than Kesha in that moment. A highlight of my year was seeing her comeback. "she thinks you love the beach you're such a damn liar" tho Ikr sis I felt the same way. It's such a beautiful song and I'm so happy that she's seeing some success after flopping so hard last era .

I still don’t know how I feel about Green Light. I enjoyed it until I noticed those high pitch chipmunk background vocals in the chorus and now every time I listen to it, that’s all I hear. New Rules is good but Blow Your Mind deserved to be her breakout smash. I kinda had the same reaction to Disco ****, but by the time I fully enjoyed it, it had stopped charting for me. Opposite reaction to LWYMMD though, loved it to begin with, now it’s an automatic skip whenever it comes on. Touch is pure pop magic. Praying is an excellent #1. What an amazing song.

Paramore - After Laughter Rating: 6.8 | Peak: #2 Highlights: Hard Times, Pool Reveal hidden contents Hard Times (10) - 297 Plays Rose-Colored Boy (8.5) - 23 Plays Told You So (8.5) - 35 Plays Forgiveness (5) - 15 Plays Fake Happy (7.5) - 15 Plays 26 (7) - 13 Plays Pool (10) - 50 Plays Grudges (5) - 12 Plays Caught In The Middle (5) - 13 Plays Idle Worship (7) - 15 Plays No Friend (1) - 13 Plays Tell Me How (7) - 14 Plays =515 Plays The most disappointing release of the year Their last album was flawless with only like 3 mediocre songs, whereas this is the opposite with only 3 great songs Hard Times was the perfect lead single but it made me think the album would be much better than it actually was The choruses are really weak in general. Even in Pool, which is one of my faves, the chorus drags it down a biT and the bridge is obviously the highlight of the song. 26 and Tell Me How are cute ballads but they're not outstanding or anything No Friend is the most useless song they've ever made and possible their worst So yah, this year I unstanned Paramore and Fifth Harmony #19. Jessie Ware - Glasshouse Rating: 6.8 | Peak: #9 Highlights: Midnight, First Time Reveal hidden contents Midnight (9.5) - 23 Plays Thinking About You (5) - 3 Plays Stay Awake, Wait For Me (7) - 3 Plays Your Domino (8.5) - 7 Plays Alone (7) - 8 Plays Selfish Love (5.5) - 5 Plays First Time (9.5) - 7 Plays Hearts (5) - 3 Plays Slow Me Down (6) - 3 Plays Finish What We Started (7) - 4 Plays Last Of The True Believers (6) - 3 Plays Sam (5) - 3 Plays Til The End (6) - 3 Plays Love To Love (8) - 6 Plays =81 Plays A pretty boring album overall. The lead single was my fave so I was expecting a biT more. At least Your Domino, Love To Love and First Time are pretty good This is the first Jessie Ware album I've heard and it doesn't make me wanna check out the rest of her discography #18. Imagine Dragons - Evolve Rating: 7.1 | Peak: #9 Highlights: I'll Make It Up To You, Walking The Wire, I Don't Know Why Reveal hidden contents I Don't Know Why (9) - 20 Plays Whatever It Takes (7.5) - 10 Plays Believer (7.5) - 8 Plays Walking The Wire (9) - 26 Plays Rise Up (7) - 7 Plays I'll Make It Up To You (9.5) - 26 Plays Yesterday (2) - 3 Plays Mouth Of The River (8.5) - 8 Plays Thunder (7.5) - 12 Plays Star Over (8.5) - 10 Plays Dancing In The Dark (2) - 3 Plays =133 Plays A solid effort from Imagine Dragons, didn't deserve to be panned the way it way. Their debut was better but this has some nice sings too. The singles (so far) are all alright but not outstanding. I hope one of my faves gets released next year Wtf are DITD and Yesterday They're literally awful and drag the album down so much #17. Anna Of The North - Lovers Rating: 7.4 | Peak: N/A Highlights: Someone, Always, Fire Reveal hidden contents Moving On (6) - 3 Plays Someone (9) - 7 Plays Lovers (7) - 4 Plays Money (8) - 6 Plays Always (9) - 7 Plays Feels (7) - 3 Plays Baby (6.5) - 3 Plays Friends (6) - 3 Plays Fire (9) - 6 Plays All I Want (6) - 3 Plays =44 Plays I only listened to this album about a month ago but because of all the new releases at the time, I didn't have a chance to properly get into it It's very cohesive and good all the way through without any huge standouts or unless fillers. I wish she hadn't scrapped Oslo because it would have been my fave on the album Also she looks like a heroin addict on the cover #16. Allie X - CollXtion II Rating: 7.5 | Peak: #10 Highlights: Vintage, Paper Love, Casanova Reveal hidden contents Paper Love (10) - 34 Plays Vintage (10) - 46 Plays Need You (8) - 14 Plays Casanova (9.5) - 33 Plays Lifted (5) - 3 Plays Simon Says (8) - 9 Plays Old Habits Die Hard (8.5) - 8 Plays That's So Us (5.5) - 6 Plays Downtown (7) - 6 Plays True Love Is Violent (3) - 3 Plays =162 Plays A nice, basic pop album, but it would have been better without Lifted, That's So Us, and especially True Love Is Violent. Vintage is that bop, her best song after Bitch Too bad she's such a flop The release for this was so messy 57 minutes ago, K$Ellie said: Top 20 Albums #15.

Drugs is now easily my favorite White Roses is so underrated I love Roll With Me but the breakdown is still a lil annoying. Lipgloss is a mess, but a v cute mess. I love how it jumps to CupcakKe's verses so abruptly Pop 2 isn't as good but it's growing on me and might end up making my list next year. Track 10 is lowkey better than anything on N1A #14. Kelly Clarkson - Meaning Of Life Rating: 7.8 | Peak: #6 Highlights: Meaning Of Life, Medicine, Love So Soft Reveal hidden contents A Minute (Intro) (x) - 8 Plays Love So Soft (9.5) - 20 Plays Heat (7.5) - 9 Plays Meaning Of Life (10) - 23 Plays Move You (7) - 8 Plays Whole Lotta Woman (8.5) - 9 Plays Medicine (9.5) - 18 Plays Cruel (5) - 7 Plays Didn't I (8.5) - 8 Plays Would You Call That Love (7.5) - 6 Plays I Don't Think About You (6) - 6 Plays Slow Dance (7) - 6 Plays Don't You Pretend (7.5) - 6 Plays Go High (8) - 6 Plays =140 Plays Another album that's good all the way through and consistent in terms of quality, with only one dud (Cruel). I wasn't even gonna listen cause the lead(s) were nice but nothing special and Piece By Piece didn't leave a good impression Heat is good but overrated, Medicine or the title track need to be the next single #13. Lorde - Melodrama Rating: 7.9 | Peak: #3 Highlights: Green Light, Homemade Dynamite, Sober Reveal hidden contents Green Light (10) - 326 Plays Sober (9.5) - 45 Plays Homemade Dynamite (10) - 115 Plays The Louvre (9) - 26 Plays Liability (3) - 11 Plays Hard Feelings/Loveless (8) - 14 Plays Sober II (Melodrama) (7) - 11 Plays Writer In The Dark (9) - 31 Plays Supercut (8.5) - 23 Plays Liability (Reprise) (6) - 10 Plays Perfect Places (7) - 20 Plays =632 Plays I never liked Melodrama as much as everyone else, it has some bops but I liked Jack's work on Reputation and MASSEDUCTION more I have no idea why Green Light was so polarizing when it's the best song on the album. Homemade Dynamite is a slay too and should have been the second single Writer In The Dark is a huge grower, wasn't too fond of it at first but it's great She didn't pull it off with Liability tho Liability (Reprise) and Sober II are pretty useless, they're not bad tho. Perfect Places is v overrated and Hard Feelings would have been better without Loveless. I didn't get the Supercut stanning at first but it grew on me #12. VÉRITÉ - Somewhere In Between Rating: 8 | Peak: #3 Highlights: Better, Floor, Death Of Me Reveal hidden contents When You're Gone (7) - 20 Plays Phase Me Out (6) - 13 Plays Death Of Me (9.5) - 45 Plays Bout You (8) - 23 Plays Better (10) - 95 Plays Need Nothing (8.5) - 34 Plays Saint (8) - 20 Plays Solutions (9) - 30 Plays Floor (10) - 65 Plays Somewhere In Between (5) - 8 Plays Nothing (9) - 33 Plays Control (8) - 22 Plays Freedom Of Falling (6) - 7 Plays =415 Plays This girl is so underrated, her sound is very similar to BANKS' and I think she's almost on the same level. To me, the album starts with Death Of Me because the first two singles seem like they were tacked onto the start and sound nothing like the rest They're also some of my least favorite, especially Phase Me Out even though the verses are cute. I suppose @Diarrhoea is the fatty that got me into her, but I had heard of her before anyway Better is my fave for sure, such a bop Floor is slower than most of the other songs but it's beautiful I would have put her in the top 10 if the title track hadn't been so boring Still, it's a very solid album and I'm perched for her future releases #11. Kelela - Take Me Apart Rating: 8.1 | Peak: #3 Highlights: LMK, Onanon, Truth Or Dare Reveal hidden contents Frontline (7) - 21 Plays Waitin (7.5) - 22 Plays Take Me Apart (7.5) - 20 Plays Enough (8.5) - 33 Plays Jupiter (5.5) - 18 Plays Better (8) - 29 Plays LMK (10) - 162 Plays Truth Or Dare (10) - 46 Plays S.O.S. (5.5) - 17 Plays Blue Light (9) - 40 Plays Onanon (10) - 52 Plays Turn To Dust (9.5) - 40 Plays Bluff (x) - 16 Plays Altadena (7.5) - 18 Plays =534 Plays LMK made me think this album would be full of bops so I was disappointed when I first listened and it was much slower than I expected. After a couple of plays, I started getting into it. A really great debut album, would have been even better without the 2 minute songs that drag its score down. I still think she's better at doing uptempo songs since those are my 3 faves on the album but I can appreciate her slower songs like Turn To Dust and Enough too Next page xx
