I haven't heard their previous albums but it struck me as pretty solid. I'm not much of a post-punk buff, though.

decent list
has boo’d up topped any tracks lists yet ? p undeniable
― single bed mentality (||||||||), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
“High Horse” isn’t even the best song on that (somewhat overrated, in my esteemed and respected opinion) album... I heard it in the supermarket the other day, it fit right in.
― underqualified backing vocalist (morrisp), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 16:10 (five years ago) link
(And I don’t usually do “overrated,” but we are literally talking about ratings/rankings here; so I’ll allow it)
― underqualified backing vocalist (morrisp), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 16:12 (five years ago) link
Boo’d Up is probably hurt by the fact it came out in early 2017
I don’t actually think the NPR list is quite as boring as I expected tbh... aside from the awful number one it’s somehow the only list I’ve seen with “drip too hard” on it so far like what
Someone on Twitter pointed out how weird it is they seem to have completely ignored The Internet’s album on their albums list, like that’s tailor made for npr
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 16:12 (five years ago) link
High horse is awesome, not my personal fav on the album exactly but cmon
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
Npr list also had King’s dead... Troye Sivan .... phonte, Doja cat... there’s definitely some corny selections — it is NPR and it’s impossible to forgive that number one — but overall could be way worse

Compared to last year's tail-end scramble, I did a better job of keeping up with new releases in 2018, but I still feel overwhelmed whenever I see a new list come out. FOMO's a bitch.

Did not expect to see 'Pat Earrings' (a line that will make zero sense to anyone outside the UK) on that FACT list.

boo’d up might have come out in 2017 but it’s def a 2018 track. D-40 probably right tho
funny how these things work. culture II feels like it came out an age ago. might as well have been a 2017 record
― single bed mentality (||||||||), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:32 (five years ago) link
D-40 has been going down this pedantic wormhole since, like, "Still Tippin'." Ignore.

lol was not expecting that one

Complex list is decent but the ordering is bonkers to me.
Also, am I alone in thinking that the Tierra Whack album seems to be getting more shine than it deserves? Maybe I'll revisit it today but I didn't really like it much when I first listened.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Wednesday, 5 December 2018 17:49 (five years ago) link
I agree. As a calling-card EP it shows a lot of promise, but aoty is a big stretch

Glad to see the Yob record place so low on the Noisey list. Yob sucks, and I don't understand why so many critics worship them. Sure, the dude almost died and that's a good feature hook, but it doesn't make their music interesting.― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, December 5, 2018 5:59 AM (three hours ago)
