10. KENDRICK LAMAR - 'DAYUM.'

 

728f551eacbe28ebfc404a8fa68c3f30.730x730

 

kendrick lamar has quality in his blood, in his DNA. (you agree, yah?) this album finds him in his element—i can't help but feel everything he feels. i've got an insane loyalty (feat. rihanna) to his music, a sense of pride when a song of his comes on. i can't help but wonder how he stays humble with all this fame—i mean, people all over the world are full of lust for him! some probably think it's love (feat. zacari). i'm sure they're exaggerating and it's just some xxx(feat. u2)-rated fantasy, but if i were him, the thought of superfans would fill me with fear. my god, he's enormous right now. 

kendrick lamar duckworth, you are a visionary.

 

favorites: DNA, xxx, loyalty — unfavorites: lust

09. MOUNT EERIE - 'A CROW LOOKED AT ME'

 

mteeriecover_sq-46a1219ce637ba633286bf19

 

this is, doubtlessly, the most heartbreaking album i have ever heard. every line is suffused with plain-spoken grief, his melodies and accompaniments simple to keep the spotlight on what he is saying. it's simultaneously inviting and uncomfortable, beautiful and hideous, simple and difficult.

 

i'll let the album speak for itself:

 

"crusted with tears, catatonic and raw / i go downstairs and outside and you still get mail"

 

"a week after you died, a package with your name on it came / and inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret

and, collapsed there on the front steps, i wailed / a backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now

you were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not include you / though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down"

 

favorites: real death, all — unfavorites: none

08. LANA DEL REY - 'LUST FOR LIFE'

 

Lana-Del-Rey.jpg

 

lana's only at #8?!? A FLOP!!!

but no, not really. she delivered a great album. it's just too inconsistent, and too long, to earn a spot in my top 5 de l'année.

the album is full of highs—the wistful lead single "love," which is far and away my most-played song of the year; the trap banger "summer bummer," featuring an assist from a$ap rocky and some weird ad-libs from playboi carti; the surf-rock forward-looking closer "get free," beautiful ambient outro and all—but it's also got its lows, like the dreadfully tone-deaf "coachella – woodstock in my mind" and the familiar "groupie love." lana somehow made an album on which timeless voices like stevie nicks and sean ono lennon feel at home alongside more time...ful voices like the weeknd.

 

favorites: love, summer bummer, get free — unfavorites: coachella forever

07. SUFJAN STEVENS - 'THE GREATEST GIFT'

 

greatest-gift_sq-c095192ab903bca62fc2e6b

 

(note: my version of this album includes his "tonya harding" singles and his songs from the "call me by your name" soundtrack. deluxe-ish.)

i love sufjan more with every passing year. carrie & lowell completely redefined my life when i heard it, and this accompaniment album does a wonderful job of shining a different light on that original material, with beautiful remixes—not obnoxious or overbearing, like remixes can be—a pair of demos (i almost used the word "stripped," but the C&L versions themselves are quite stripped), and four outtakes. i have listened to this album end to end an insane amount of times since it has dropped; it's everything i hoped it would be and more.

 

favorites: death with dignity (helado negro remix), fourth of july (900x remix), tonya harding (in D major), visions of gideon — unfavorites: none

06. SUSANNE SUNDFØR - 'MUSIC FOR PEOPLE IN TROUBLE'

 

94bb55303f944459d79e7ad9ed550421.1000x10

 

i feel bad about this only being at #6, but i thought about switching it out for a higher album and realized i just didn't enjoy it as much as those in my top 5. that being said, i loved it. susanne has a beautiful voice and that is demonstrated better than ever on a folk-centric album like this one. from the lead single "undercover," i knew i was in for a special album; it's still one of my favorite songs here to this day, from the beautifully understated beginning to the swell to the impassioned ending. i also love "reincarnation," the lovely jazz interlude at the end of "good luck bad luck," the entirety of "the sound of war," the subversive "the golden age," the ominous piano of "no one believes in love anymore" ... basically the whole thing. the only song i'm not crazy about is the title track, which doesn't make a ton of sense to me and seems to just be taking up space, but i'm a basic bitch so drag me, @myself.

 

favorites: reincarnation, undercover, the golden age — unfavorites: music for people in trouble

DAMN :clap3: LFL is good, I just can't get into a Lana album in full since BTD :rip: Her music just gets so indiscernible for me. I'd love to love her, but it just hasn't happened :chick3: 

Posted

Susanne Sundfor :eek::heart2: her album truly was something else. But like, yay, literally every album on this update is excellent :cries:

Posted

DAYUM :clap3:

A Crow Looked At Me. I'm really happy to see this album on so many lists, I know Phil appreciates it, but it's still breaks my heart every time I see it being mentioned. 

LANA FLOPPING :jonny5: YOU DID THAT :jonny5:

:alexz: MFPIT :alexz: Not here for the title track slander though, the spoken words part is actually amazing with it being right after the grand Sound Of War, it's like a breath of fresh air and the lyrics actually make a lot of sense with them being right after that song, and the second part of the song is just flawless :alexz:

I kinda still haven't given Lust for Life a chance. I just can't be bothered. I've heart a splattering of it and it's just classic Lana. Slightly better than usual but I'm just kinda bored of her shtick. It's amazing her Born to Die stans are still clinging on.
