I guess this is my day huh? lovely band.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
I voted for the album, but this is a nice opening track.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
alvvays are pleasant i guess but there's nothing interesting about them at all
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link

Surprised to see this place so high. The second album didn't quite hit me in the same way the debut did. This is definitely is one of the highlights.

there are a million songs about accepting something is over and being OK alone but I like the particular formulation here, and the closing "no turning....ba-aaaack" always gets me
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:05 (six years ago) link
Second one I voted for, love this. Both albums have been completely overshadowed by their lead singles for me though.
― devvvine, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:05 (six years ago) link
my only strong feeling about alvvays is that I think it would be super fun to be in this band

Me either, until one night when it just did. Now I kind of favor it over the debut.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:05 (six years ago) link
I said this on their thread but the blossoming of the rhythm section is a big plus over the debut
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:06 (six years ago) link
The opening melody of this song immediately makes me think of "I Think We're Alone Now" on 100% of my listens.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:08 (six years ago) link
Alvvays is pure sugar, nice in small doses, but too much can be a bit overpowering. luckily, their albums are short!

I think part of the reason I didn't connect with the second Alvvays as much is because I spent most of the year listening to the Japanese Breakfast album which is everything I love about this kind of indie music and so much more. Probably my favourite album of that style in 10 years. Antisocialites wasn't quite at that level (as lovely as it is).
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:10 (six years ago) link
my favourite of this style in recent times is the previous Japanese Breakfast album, Psychopomp. there wasn't really anything in this style that i liked much this year

that dawson tune was so rough jeez what is wrong with you people

hahahahaha holy shit

I've fallen totally in love with this song in the last 4 days.
it's so fucking good!!!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link
also this is a bit weird but every time I listen to alvvays a small part of my brain recalls hearing news of the singer's father's death when I was young (he was a pretty famous musician in Canada, esp where I grew up) and it adds a slightly tragic tinge to all their stuff (so many xps)
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link
I voted for this! It was one of my best discoveries from the Spotify playlist. A great headphones song.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:22 (six years ago) link
it was an unusually wonderful year for k-pop and i'm so delighted that the countdown is reflecting this

lol, xp
is this the act that's also some sort of wild multimedia project?
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:24 (six years ago) link
From what I understand, LOOΠΔ is the overarching group and before they release a proper debut all the sub-units of LOOΠΔ are being introduced one at a time.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:25 (six years ago) link
It's like K-pop Turquoise Jeep.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link
this is my favorite of the kpop entries so far
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link
Is this the most k-pop there's ever been on one of these lists? Nice surprise
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link
much prefer this to the other loona
― #TeamHailing (imago), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:29 (six years ago) link
xps kind of, they're a girl group that's been introducing members and sub-groups monthly for the past year and a bit, and the videos have some sort of vague interconnected plot that's also told through the video descriptions too but there's not really much to it

You had to know 31 slides wasn't gonna cover it. xp
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:34 (six years ago) link
I didn't think it was gonna make the list! New was my no. 1
the resignation in the lyrics and the music just totally sells this for me.

We've hit the top 30 without Kendrick appearing once, which suggests either he got vote split to hell or he's going to take up half the remaining places.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link
new makes me weirdly emotional
other loona tracks i strongly recommend are 90s sugar rush Everyday I Love You, ambitious orchestral ballad Sonatine, and Love Cherry Motion
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
kendrick doesn't exist
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
Whoever said before we're only getting "DNA" and "Humble" was correct, though I could see them both being top 10
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
