Too low! My #1, it wasn't even close.

I maintain this is the best Paramore album
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
this falls off a little in the last third but the highs are so high. pool is the best

my favorite is still the s/t and may be forever but after laughter is completely great

Is the whole album as good as Hard Times then?
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
nearly all of it is

hearing "told you so" for the first time was like... maybe my favorite musical experience of the year

basically yes
Cool, will listen

Lorde and Paramore adjacent = very appropriate. They are both in the 70s on my EOY list, solid albums boosted by half a dozen very good songs.

Forgiveness is so great also, the subtle rhythmic shift from the verse to chorus gets me every time

After Laughter was my number one. A perfect album!
― kitchen person, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:14 (six years ago) link
"rose-colored boy" and "tell me how" are my favs. chorus on "rose-colored" is super scritti politti imo though i say this about everything i like
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:14 (six years ago) link
I didn't really like Paramore before this, but the new album is fun. Apparently it was a big flop, which is unfortunate. Lots of very catchy tunes, but I don't always love her Katy Perry-esque habit of overenunciating everything.
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:15 (six years ago) link
My favorite track is actually from late in the album: Caught in the Middle. I also admire the way Idle Worship successfully manages to have very Christian lyrics in a mainstream pop setting. Puritan poet Edward Taylor might have appreciated some of the humor.

listening to this for the first time now, it's really nice!
― Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:29 (six years ago) link
I probably listened to "Tell Me How" the most often on account of having it on loop during late-night walks

Two more I thought would be here by now but probably ex-77: Stormzy and Ariel Pink (given the number of tracks nominated)

btw: as with the singles, i'll add the top 177 albums to the playlist mix as soon as the top ten are revealed

I don't remember if I ever listened to all of this (like quite a few of these winners).

Kelly's album has the finest production this year front to back imo

great album, wasn't expecting it to get so high. has the same feeling as Visions

didn’t really enjoy this one at all iirc
― faust apes (NickB), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
I wanted to like this album more than I did. Lucid was the big standout for me. Nothing else quite hit me the same way.

it's one of those albums that i'm crazy about when listening, but a few times too often, i had to listen again just to remind myself how the songs go

srsly, what was octo octa thinking with that album cover?

the cover is good imo
