Glory is amazing!
I have mixed feelings with Lady Wood tho.. the album is good, but "Queen Of The Clouds" was miles better, I don't love this album as much as her debut
I think I am just a MPP (+Peacebone) stan and dassit, Painting With wasn't bad but I was about done with it after 3 days. There was a certain other alb this year that I felt more strongly about. Actually that applies to KKB too but they still deserve a second chance before I make the full call. Tove + Azulu both kinda fell back on what they were great at but the end product was still fine
Disappointing Albums:
<Part 1>
- The Altar: This is the first album from BANKS that I listened to after Gemini Feed and I only slightly enjoyed the first half.
- The Life of Pablo: Preach it! Your little description is spot-on w/ my feelings.
<Part 2>
Now this is where the mess starts coming in All 4 of these are great, especially Foxes/Gaga
- This Is What the Truth Feels Like
- All I Need
- 25
- Joanne
Top Albums:
ZAYN, Tove, Britney making appearances Nice choices.
Bonito Generation is a cute album, I love Lipslap, Waking Up and Trampoline
I guess I'm one of the few people who think Lady Wood > QOTC Love both tho
Britney's recovery was amazing. She went from a tragedy like BJ to her 3rd best album ever
29. Corinne Bailey Rae, The Heart Speaks In Whispers
Quote:
My first CBR album and it was a great experience. I already know that experience would be soulful but it was unexpectedly optimistic and genre bouncy.
28. Broods, Conscious
Quote:
This duo is 2 for 2, a good debut and a good sophomore. Conscious is as beautiful and elegant as it is upbeat.They have their own pop sound, songcraft and formula that you have to appreciate that.
27. Phantogram, Three
Quote:
It's a relatively short album with a lot of high points. It has some of the most rawest breakup anthems. They're taking their sound to a new level, showing growth and further trademarking their sound. Probably the only Phanto stan here, huh?
26. Chairlift, Moth
Quote:
Not as strong as their last but I love the risks they took this era. Moth has some of my favorite songs of the year.
25. Rihanna, Anti
Quote:
Another grower. The singles and some of the non-single standouts truly carry this album.
I wanted to check the Corinne album but it looked loooonnnng. Phantogram is one I've never gotten into either (just Big Grams hih) but I bopped to the singles still
She's been rather disappointing lately, hasn't she? Terrible single choices and poor management. Tinashe is going through it! But she redeemed herself with this solid atmospheric and dreamy R&B album. This type of music may not get her the success she wants but it is her strength.
23. BJ The Chicago Kid, In My Mind
Quote:
I was settled on Paak until I finally heard this. No comparisons after that, both great albums, I just kept coming back for this one more. It's just that great straightforward traditional R&B that I needed in my life.
22. Tink, Winter's Diary 4 [Mixtape]
Quote:
Waiting on a proper album, a complete R&B album at that. Tink is a dope rapper but she has a good ear, a good voice and good pen to take singing more seriously. The switch ups from hardcore raps to smooth and emotionally charged R&B jams - Azealia the girls are coming for your diversity hun.
21. Bon Iver, 22, A Million
Quote:
I don't even know half of the stuff this man is even saying but it doesn't matter, his ability to craft beautifully original music and move me is amazing.
good pop album
All 4 of these are great, especially Foxes/Gaga
Nice choices.
Legend of 2016 still has it in ha.
Love both tho
