best of Vxspertine's 2017 In Review |#1 Album Revealed: Björk LOST

[Vxspertine]

 

• 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

 

[Vxspertine]

 

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

Bye @ Lust for Life fatty. The moment you put Summer Bummer as the worst track automatically invalidated your list

 

Agree about The Horrors but I still liked it.

Summer Bummer is her worst song and that's a fact

Lyrics WERE awful on that album

 

I liked the production but her melodies coulda been so much better imo

It wasn't awful production wise overall but the lyrics are just...

V and Haiku From Zero? cancelled 

[Vilppu]

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.

[Tom Vercetti]

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.

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

They weren't bad but they were kind of boring especially compared to the other albums under those names

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

I was a little delusional aswell but I was pretty disappointed even after my first listen. The singles were mostly good so I did have some hope for the album.

Why did you have expectations for Pink and Miley?

Pink because I used to like her, and Miley because Malibu was a pretty good lead

Sucks that you didn't enjoy Humanz as much  Although I'm not well versed in Gorillaz as a whole, I quite enjoyed a number of tracks off of Humanz.

[jose168]

Humanz is great if you dont think of it as a gorillaz album

[volition]

hey good luck with the lists  loving the disappointments one (though personally your least favourite Horrors track was my favourite on the album  I also haven’t heard the rest of their discog though)

Queen Kelela saves everything. 

 

I agree on P!nk. Very bad album. AWAWA is my favorite track from her and that one was only one album away.
