5. St. Vincent- amazing ofc!
4. Dream Sequins- idk this just wasn't for me. I got really bored and couldn't finish it.
3. Joyland- I really liked a few songs, wasn't that crazy about it.
2. Hotel Valentine- been listening to this so much lately, there's really nothing bad about it, every song is great. I've never listened to their original stuff though.
1. It's Album Time- I remember liking it. Fun listen. Need to give it another try.
I really really liked Hotel Valentine and I enjoy It's Album Time a lot more now than I did when I first started listening to it. Overall this is a great, diverse and original list. You never give us a list that's boring or the same as everyone else's. Can't wait for the rest!

2. Joyland
1. St. Vincent
I exactly agree with that last sentence on St. Vincent haha my dad actually wasn't a big fan of this one but really liked Love This Giant which I thought ??? odd. Nmesh I haven't listened to so I'll check that out. Joyland was good but didn't really stick with me too much so I gotta revisit that album too.
Cibo Matto >>>>> great album. Actually not as big on their previous stuff, but this album really rocks. Deja Vu is perfection. Todd Terje had a great album as well.
While I'm commenting Best Ofs I'm listening to new albums and St. Vincent's album is the next one, I really like "Digital Witness" and now "Birth In Reverse"
Trust - Joyland.. this one sounds great. And I need to check out that #1
Well, I could, but it would be too late for it to make my albums list.
You know that I liked Joyland a lot. You're also at least the hundredth person I've seen praise that Todd Terje album. Let's add that album (and so many others) to the list, too. Why not?
I normally don't like derivative Garage Rock because it all sounds the same, but I like this song a lot.
149. Oneohtrix Point Never - "Meet Your Creator"
This is the track on his Commissions I EP that reminded me the most of his last album R+7 which happens to be my favorite of his. It's very rhythmically clear and repetitive which I think he does very well.
148. Kitty Pryde - "Hoaxxx"
Kitty expanded her horizons from Cloud Rap to Dance-Pop this year, and while her Dance music isn't as good as her Rap, this track is definitely worth listening to a lot.
147. Kyla La Grange - "Cut Your Teeth"
Kyla manages to escape the Florence/Ellie/Paloma group of borings with this song by giving us a menacing beat and a vulnerable vocal.
146. Röyksopp & Robyn - "Sayit"
This is the most hard-hitting song on the EP, and definitely the one that utilizes Robyn's singing the least, but it's a beautiful song and reminds me of Smooth Chick by Missy Elliott.
