I wish popalbums went back to like 8-10 tracks instead of ungodly amounts like... 18

Like Dua's could have been a good album! 

ok TEA!

30. KESHA - 'RAINBOW'

 

 

i am *so* happy kesha is still making music. "praying" made me cry the first time i heard it, and it's part of a great collection of songs from selt-empowerment anthem "let 'em talk" to female-empowerment anthem "woman" to twangy, role-reversed cheater anthem "hunt you down." i love this record (but i can't, for the life of me, get into "boogie feet").

 

favorites: praying, let 'em talk, woman, hunt you down, spaceship — unfavorites: boogie feet

 

 

29. THE WAR ON DRUGS - 'A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING'

 

 

i haven't spent nearly enough time with this album, which is why it's relatively low on my chart, but every time i turn it on, i wish i had listened to it more. even the nearly-twelve-minute "thinking of a place" is entirely justified (and—side note—it sounds like the xx's "seasons run"). i love "strangest thing" (which sounds like bear's den's "red earth & pouring rain").

 

favorites: strangest thing, pain — unfavorites: none

 

 

28. FLEET FOXES - 'CRACK-UP'

 

 

similar to TWOD, i have neglected this album, which i feel terrible about. but "if you need to, keep time on me" and "third of may" are excellent. the rest is, too, i just don't have anything to say about them yet.

 

favorites: if you need to, keep time on me; third of may / odaigahara — unfavorites: none

 

 

27. KELLY CLARKSON - 'MEANING OF LIFE'

 

 

kelly clarkson has finally made an album on which she sounds like she means every word. she seems happier, lately, talking about moving on to a new record label and embracing her size, and this album is full of that positivity: the sparkly "love so soft"; the politically-empowered "go high"; the snappy comeback for a former lover, "medicine." this soul-pop area suits her voice well: she's able to showcase her range in ways she never has before, and display vulnerability with emotive power; "move you" is an affecting song about wanting to make a lover feel what she feels. that being said, there are a few duds, like "don't you pretend," which feels empty, and "whole lotta woman," a bit too kitschy for my taste.

 

favorites: love so soft, heat, medicine, would you call that love, move you, go high — unfavorites: whole lotta woman, don't you pretend, a minute

 

 

26. BEACH HOUSE - 'B-SIDES AND RARITIES'

 

 

beach house is f***ing amazing. that being said, this collection includes a lot of b-sides and very few rarities: if you're a beach house fan, odds are you've heard all of these songs before. (i had made a b-sides collection of my own that included all of the older songs.) the included rarities are great: "chariot," which somehow didn't make depression cherry but is better than at least 7 of the songs on that album, sounds like driving at night with the windows down. i might like the excellent cough syrup remix of "10 mile stereo" better than the original, tbh.

 

favorites: chariot, 10 mile stereo remix, saturn song — unfavorites: none

omg mess the biblios

[Tom Vercetti]

Kelly Clarkson above WOD and Fleet Foxes is a bit questionable but at least the latter two appeared here  

 

I've only listened to Chariot this year from BH so can't comment much else on that.

i’ve only listened to TWOD/FF a few times so i didn’t feel justified in putting them higher (tho obviously they deserve it  )

OMG drag Boogie Feet. I didn't like either of the EoDM tracks, though. f They're both my two least favorites on the album. Everything else is quality.
