I was referring to other songs from that album when I said they sound like Travis.

"Sign Of The Times" def sounds like Robbie Williams tho.

It also bothers me that the 3rd chord resolves too early in the progression and they just leave it there without generating any tension or allowing the song to move around in any unexpected directions. I guess you could call it One Directional.

"Bittersweet Symphony" kinda did the same thing I guess but for some reason that song doesn't feel quite as boring.

Did everybody just hate the HAIM record? Have HAIM been cancelled?

Also Moses Sumney's is not getting the love it deserves imo

16. Julia Michaels - Uh Huh

nice of rs to recognize the superior julia michaels single

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link

Can someone be awesome and organize the links from each list in a single post? In a couple of weeks the thread will be huge.

Maybe I’ll do it if noone else does when I get home.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 21:25 (six years ago) link

The RS list recognizes the greatness of Charly Bliss, so I'm just thankful for that

josh az (2011nostalgia), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link

surprised "praying" didn't show on rs's list

dyl, Thursday, 30 November 2017 00:30 (six years ago) link

Nice to see Bad Liar so high on the RS list. That's turned out to be my song of the year at this stage. Boys, Cut To The Feeling, Malibu, Glitter and Say My Name deserve to be on there too.

kitchen person, Thursday, 30 November 2017 02:31 (six years ago) link

But then I realized that ALBUM OF THE YEAR kind of already aggregates every important list out there and it's easier access than open each site separately. So here' you go:

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/lists.php

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 30 November 2017 05:59 (six years ago) link

They also have the summary which is fairly useful and mildly depressing:

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2017/

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 30 November 2017 06:01 (six years ago) link

They unfortunately do not do Song lists it seems.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 30 November 2017 06:04 (six years ago) link

http://www.albumoftheyear.org/songs/best/2017/ they do aggregate songs lists but don't have the lists available in their site like the albums lists are

That's what I get if I follow your link

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 30 November 2017 06:21 (six years ago) link

that's really weird, it seems the link doesn't work without the '/' at the end of it

you can get there by clicking 'songs' next to 'albums' from your link anyway

^^ that Alessandro Cortini album is gorgeous.
very much for fans of FAX golden era ambience.

mark e, Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:05 (six years ago) link

really loving this Photay album

Simon H., Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:11 (six years ago) link

Cortini is the Nine Inch Nails guy right? have only heard the odd song off that so far

damian green is people (NickB), Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link

AOTY also puts genre-specific lists on the right rail, but does not include them in the aggregate. At this point most of the lists are the S.O.S. until we get to publications like The Wire, Louder Than War/Vive Le Rock. I miss Rock A Rolla.

Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:40 (six years ago) link

The Sampha album is showing up a lot--It didn't seem to make much impact around here

President Keyes, Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:44 (six years ago) link

yup.
but this is nothing like his work for that crew.
its a very lovely ambient record, my fave track is 'vincere'.

mark e, Thursday, 30 November 2017 14:45 (six years ago) link

yes, he does good work, I voted for something in a previous ILX EOY poll

there was a fairly negative reaction in the R&B thread iirc

That Haim record is really nowhere to be seen, it's this years Caracal.

Matt DC, Thursday, 30 November 2017 15:38 (six years ago) link

Haim had a record this year? oh

Evan, Thursday, 30 November 2017 15:50 (six years ago) link

Lol @ how three blurbs in the Bleep list use the phrase "2017 belonged to" in their opening sentence.

josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:29 (six years ago) link

i really wanted to like that Brainwaltzera album but it was just too busy and cloying for me.

brimstead, Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:31 (six years ago) link

lmao xpost

mag gerwig! (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 30 November 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link

That Haim record is really nowhere to be seen, it's this years Caracal.

The Haim record would have to get the 2017 Secret Samadhi award for killling all career momentum with one album.

Past winners include Built To Spill's Ancient Melodies of the Future, Animal Collective's HZ Centipede, and in a rare debut album win, Perfect Pussy's Say Yes To Love.

kornrulez6969, Thursday, 30 November 2017 17:19 (six years ago) link

the Haim album is still very good and better than the debut, though doesn't have anything as good as Don't Save Me on it

will have to check out the Cortini album, I think he performed it when I saw him earlier this year which was great

ufo, Thursday, 30 November 2017 17:20 (six years ago) link

Regarding Haim, I only heard I Want You Back, and people let me tell you it can not carry The Wire's water!!!
