Vxspertine Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Since Funhouse P!nk just struggles to come up with anything interesting or original. It just comes off as lazy, boring and generic with bland delivery that she has already done before. It really sucks that I hate this album since I love some of her albums and her vocals. Spoiler Score: 4/10 Best tracks: Barbies Worst track: What About Us Gross album with a great lead single. I was actually excited for it too because of Malibu. Miley completely lost it when it comes to her music. I'm convinced that Malibu being good was a complete accident. Spoiler Score: 2/10 Best tracks: Malibu, Inspired Worst track: Younger Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vxspertine Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 On my first few listens this album didn't excite me very much, I did like it and enjoy it but I didn't really care for a few of the tracks. It grew on me a lot, and I've been finding myself listening to it a lot. It's kind of very nostalgic is a way, it's very grungy and definitely influenced by Nirvana a lot. ...Then the allegations against the lead singer were published. I wouldn't say this album is disappointing musically, but what it stands for now is disappointing. These allegations against musicians and entertainers lately are necessary and I'm glad these people are being exposed, but it's just so disappointing to hear that musicians you cared for do things like this, and it really ruins their projects for me because a lot of their music kind of looks like a huge lie now. On songs like Can't Get It Out when he talks about his fear of getting older, I just think that I couldn't care less about these topics anymore after knowing what a terrible person he is. I think this was the biggest disappointment for me this decade. I was a huge Gorillaz fan, and this whole era just felt forced and fake. I tried to like it so much, but it's just not good. I really felt like it was just a desperate attempt to milk some more money from their fans. The whole album was basically just other people's songs, I'd even say that this wasn't a Gorillaz album. Spoiler Score: 4/10 Best tracks: Ascension, Submission Worst track: We Got The Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilppu Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I never got the love for Malibu so didn't even bother with the album, likewise with Pink though WAU was tolerable imo. Agree with all the bits about Lana except for Change being a highlight and I loved The Horrors' album but I also never listened to anything else from them so maybe I don't have a perspective. Screeching at Maroon 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Vercetti Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I was slightly delusional when gorillaz first came out thinking it was good but wow, I only kept a few tracks out of the 20+ it offered. It was just too feature heavy and didn't deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vxspertine Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Disappointments Of The Year 10. Maroon 5 - Red Pill Blues 9. Four Tet - New Energy 8. Lana Del Rey - Lust For Life 7. The Horrors - V 6. Cut Copy - Haiku from Zero 5. Pissed Jeans – Why Love Now 4. P!nk - Beautiful Trauma 3. Miley Cyrus - Younger Now 2. Brand New – Science Fiction 1. Gorillaz - Humanz ~ Now that we're done with that, the next part is going to be my honorable mentions. There were a lot of albums this year that I thought were good, but I didn't really come back to all that much, so I included this category to include them. They are not ranked. Tune in this Friday at around the same time for that Edited December 12, 2017 by Vxspertine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screeching at Maroon 5. The Horrors have Skying in their discography which is one of the best albums of 2011 so And I had a friend who used to be a huge fan of Maroon 5 so when the album came out I decided to give it a try and 5 minutes ago, Tom Vercetti said: I was slightly delusional when gorillaz first came out thinking it was good but wow, I only kept a few tracks out of the 20+ it offered.

The singles were mostly good so I did have some hope for the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
