Decent. Gonna mention Weyes Blood again and leave it there. ILM be selectively listenin'

boo'd upitgehanelove it if we made it

I was being a dick pro forma re: 'No Tears Left to Cry', it's actually a good song.
'Venice Bitch' is alright. No Weyes Blood, that's for sure.

My #1, thank u three other ppl

I like Weyes Blood but I don't see the connection, they're after different vibes here

who was the person who said that venice bitch is like the millennial astral weeks? was it m@tt?

i really value "no tears" for the way it takes pop modes of the relatively recent past and presents them in a futuristic vehicle. the vocal melody reminds me of the sleek maximalist curves of martin pop from the late-'90s and early-'00s and there's the faintest hint of two-step in the drums and it feels like a portal to the pop of a lateral present

damn, best music writing 2018
Voted for this, it's a great song despite the needless outro jam. Would be every bit as good if it faded out after 3 minutes.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:29 (five years ago) link
Whoever said that must not think very highly of Astral Weeks.

yeah i agree with this, it's like if max martin's past five years and next three all folded in on themselves
― simmy simmy ya, simmy yam simmy yay (voodoo chili), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:30 (five years ago) link
The long, long narco-outro jam lifts this to its classic status for me, as does the noise freakout at the end of Only Acting.
― dorsalstop, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:31 (five years ago) link
great post brad
and yeah the epic nature of venixe bitch is what makes it
― ufo, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:31 (five years ago) link
still not ruling out two mote 1975 placements lol

i find venice bitch hollow at its heart but i can see where that's obviously not true for everyone
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:33 (five years ago) link
Isn't that her whole shtick though?
― pomenitul, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
I always read that hollowness as part of her whole disaffected ennui
― tangenttangent, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
god I would kill for LDR to open one of her songs with "this california noir shit, it's not for everyone, it's a motherfucking vibe"
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
pomenitul has xposted us both now
― imago, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
Woo, my #1! I'm not even that huge a LDR fan but this song really floored me. I am probably alone in this but the thing it reminds me of the most is 'Rain Song' by Sunny Day Real Estate...
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:35 (five years ago) link
Well deserved placings for both Lana songs. She's been very consistent on our albums lists but isn't this the first year she's made the tracks list since Video Games?
― kitchen person, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:35 (five years ago) link
venice bitch is like the millennial astral weeks
This would explain why I find it perplexing that people like it so much.

that SDRE album was one of my albums of 2018 fwiw

people always talk about the noise jam but no one ever talks about that beautiful coda

SDRE comparison makes sense actually!

If there are indeed two 1975 tracks in this year’s top 3, a special amendment will be activated calling for the expulsion of the 1975 posse from ILM. May they roam happily ever after.

anyway, venice bitch doesn't really remind me of astral weeks (i seriously can't find that quote, did i hallucinate it?), but the guitar does kinda remind me of this: https://youtu.be/99j0zLuNhi8

Every time I've heard "Boo'd Up" in public has been an absolute still-unexpected joy.– Katherine
"Boo'd Up" gets me high. – Eazy
plot twist of the year is when ella mai reveals herself to be british at the end of “boo’d up”— jord (@jordansarge) June 8, 2018

I can hear the affinities: honesty, precision, an appreciation of space. I don’t hear a false note. – Alfred Soto
At one point Wale was attached; at another point if Chris Brown had chosen not to hop on “Scream” it would have been a Kevin Hart (?!) song. Those averted potential futures make Ella Mai’s final version sound like even more of a miracle. Joy is precious, kids. Get it where you can. – Jonathan Bogart
