am I the only one who strongly prefers Pure Heroine to Melodrama?
No, I do too.

Migos - Culture didn't make it!!!

Big KRIT - 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time
lol for real? I kinda got tired of waiting for Krit to make something as good as Return to 4eva and skipped his last couple

return of 4eva is the real snub

I prefer Melodrama but Louvre on the songs list and no Green Light is just... who is this for?
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:05 (four years ago) link
Rich Gang, 'Tha Tour'
shocked this didn't make it, tbh, especially after there was a lot of twitter chatter about it just the other week
― flopsy bird (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
KRIT should probably be K.R.I.T. Wuz Here (xpost to me)

it is kinda interesting how completely migos are now persona non grata with the cool kids; probably all those sprite commercials

4:44 also didn't make it. i wouldn't have picked it myself, but notable.

Louvre on the songs list and no Green Light is just... who is this for?Totally! “Green Light” is the jam
― Spry at 78 (morrisp), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:10 (four years ago) link
This album list is so disagreeable to me... they didn’t even pick the right Parquet Courts, lol
― Spry at 78 (morrisp), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:11 (four years ago) link
the only good parquet courts album is the one with 'borrowed time' on it, whatever that was called
― flopsy bird (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:13 (four years ago) link
That’s the one.
― Spry at 78 (morrisp), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:15 (four years ago) link
Green Light is not only the jam, it was also the lead single.. oh but let's have this middling deep cut instead anyways because "down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre" oh remember that, so cute, or wtfI hope these guys never make it to the Louvre! I'm gonna go now, I said I didn't care about Pitchfork. oh just some of these decisions oh my

Is Anti in there because it has a Tame Impala song and they’re less ashamed to love him via Rihanna?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:18 (four years ago) link
Because that album sucks.

dawn richard did a song called 'the louvre' a few months earlier that was about 47384773x better, why don't we talk about that instead
― imago, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:19 (four years ago) link
they should've done top 50 'singles', top 50 deep cuts, top 50 tame impala related all separately
― nashwan, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:22 (four years ago) link
I bet if they did, it would be another song off Melodrama entirely. I just bet. oh good day.
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:26 (four years ago) link
honestly, if anything their tame impala enthusiasm has cooled a bit. currents got like a 9.3, right?

Tame Impala - Lonerism was in their top 10 (#7 iirc) in that mid-decade best of list they made and now it’s all the way down in #130. They definitely cooled down on their love for him or got ashamed of hyping him somewhere in the past couple of years.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 18:32 (four years ago) link
Tame Impala is a good band

Trying to read the blurbs and they're just so dreary. Everything is important, everything changed something or other, even if it's the slightest thing (from Angel Olsen: Her sophomore album, Burn Your Fire For No Witness, was the kind of breakthrough that shifted the scene around it. Now the folkier corners of indie rock are filled with auteur singer-songwriters who are trying to be both timeless and out of time, intimate-seeming yet often fleshed out by a smoky full band, angsty like punk and sad like old country. That’s largely her influence. More people mix punk and country, who cares?) and there's nearly no pleasure and no joy.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 19:45 (four years ago) link
lol LBI
I felt “a way” when my 2010 album was the highest-rated new release that year to not be included in P4K’s roundup from that year-- not even an honourable mention-- but I haven’t felt “a way” about being disincluded from any of their lists since then.

I haven’t read the blurbs. What did they say about Syro — “the breakthrough album that shattered our perceptions of Richard D. James, by proving he can be boring?”

Anti’s comfortably my favourite album of the decade. It was hilarious and baffling reading Lemonade (5 stars, bla bla..) taking all the credit in the same era while Anti seemed to completely baffle people. Same people who’ll be wanging on about its genius come the 10th anniversary I don’t doubt. Aside from a few fellow obsessives on here, I think I read just one review that ‘got it’ and that was on Dazed.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 19:59 (four years ago) link
I was having drinks with a certain well-known musician and my circle of friends and he loudly stated to the group of them: "The best song on Lemonade is still worse than the worst song on ANTI" and he roundly received catcalls for his controp. I actually can see some validity to that assertion, even it's a silly thing to say.

That's cool! :) You know, we talk about how artists' "stock" has risen or fallen on here, like it's a Wall Street thing: one day you're the hottest flavour, stock rises high, the next you're spat out like chewed out gum and forgotten. I cannot imagine the feeling of dread of ctrl+f'ing their list and not finding yourself, when praise was heaped upon one earlier. Not feeling "a way" about that is thee best though <3
(ps. I'd never call you an actuall elephant, let alone in a room, to your face)(pps. Your album was - most literally - life changing for me jsyk)

The upper reaches of the album are yawnsome in all the expected ways but there's an almost transcendent lameness in that tepid Jamie XX album placing at #25.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 20:17 (four years ago) link
^^ lamest high placing, for sure.

A lot of stuff from the first half of the decade appears to have absolutely tanked in critical reputation but perhaps nothing as much as Random Access Memories.
