WELCOME TO HOLYGROUND'S TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2013!
Finally I found the time to do it, so LET'S GO!
#20 Yeezus
Kanye West
2012: + - Ed Sheeran
Highs
Black Skinhead
New Slaves
Blood On The Leaves
Lows
Send It Up
Guilt Trip
I'm not the biggest Kanye West fan, obviously from who I stan () and his attitude is annoying. But it's undeniable that this dude can make music. Good, innovative and interesting music. This album is like a ride through his maniacal mind. It's dark and scary. Like a roller coaster in the dark, it's full of surprises, twists and turns and mystery. It's interesting to listen to for the first few times, but it soon grows old, just like if you take a roller coaster too many times you get sick of it (or maybe that analogy only applies for me). Probably cuz this album rides on the shock factor, so after a while it obviously doesn't shock anymore. But I must say this is a good thing for me, cuz after not listening to it for some time I'm starting to re-appreciate the album.
#19 Same Trailer Different Park
Kacey Musgraves
2012: Push and Shove - No Doubt
Highs
Merry Go 'Round
Follow Your Arrow
Back On the Map
Lows
Stupid
The Lana Del Rey of Country music (sorry if that comparison was ridiculous idk she gives me that vibe). I've constantly seen her name throughout 2013, especially in Taylor's base over here. But I didn't really went to go look up on her until much later in the year when I saw that she was getting quite some acclaim in ATRL. And I must say this is pretty enjoyable even though I'm not into the country genre at all. Her writing is pretty superb and the songs are really light music-wise, which is refreshing for me.
#18 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Various Artists
2012: Crazy World - Boys Like Girls
Highs
Silhouettes (Of Monsters and Men)
We Remain (Christina Aguilera)
Elastic Heart (Sia feat. The Weeknd & Diplo)
Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Lorde)
Who We Are (Imagine Dragons)
Lows
Capitol Letter (Patti Smith)
Shooting Arrows At the Sky (Santigold)
I'd say that this is better than the first soundtrack (even though the previous one had 2 Taylor tracks). Maybe they've recruited more mainstream artists. Or maybe cuz the sound is less of the folksy Appalachian stuff cuz it gets a little boring for me. This album is more like Capitol music. Songs like the ones by Lorde, Imagine Dragons and Sia make you feel like you're in the arena, in that moment when the timer goes off and everyone runs and kills everyone. Overall the sound is just so much bigger which is probably why I liked it more.
#17 Yours Truly
Ariana Grande
2012: Southern Air - Yellowcard
Highs
Honeymoon Avenue
Right There (feat. Big Sean)
You'll Never Know
Lows
Piano
Better Left Unsaid
Baby I
After The Way blew me away, I was really excited for the album. But then Baby I made me think that the album would probably consist of similar tracks over and over. And that is kinda true, as pretty much all the tracks are dependent on throwback sound and they somewhat have the same formula. But regardless it's a pretty good album, cuz who can actually get enough of that sound? It doesn't matter if the whole album relies on that vibe, it still brings about a good vibe that is very very enjoyable. She's just making some damn good and fun pop music. Her vocal talent is just insane too, something that is very much unseen in these days.
Bring it on holyground
