ILM’s Top 77 Tracks of 2018

Is this a Dev Hynes production? Kind of sounds like it.

Best part of "Slow Burn" is obv. when it opens up in the 2nd verse

no, but hynes does contribute to the album it's from xp

it's a better version of the one song Dev Hynes wrote a lot of times, mostly because the drums are a little better, but he's not involved here

Is this drippy Instagram filter shit? On paper it certainly sounds like it.

it reminds me of Haim's Falling, but without a chorus

actually i still probably wouldn't rate it over "Losing You" or "Everything is Embarrassing" but i do like that it doesn't have Dev's One Drum Loop Forever thing

After listening to the Song Exploder episode on this song, I realized that most of the stuff I like about this song comes from the beat/loop that it's based on, which was written by some dude named Jim-E Stack.

we're all glad I don't have earphones rn

All the good Empress Of songs over the last 6 years and this is the one that finally places? You guys.

There's a good Song Exploder episode about "When I'm With Him":

Even though it feels a little cookie-cutter, I still like it a lot.

(oops, x-post!)

I voted for this one but now even I agree it’s too high. I love it though

It’s a close cousin of Solange’s “Losing You,”

accounts somewhat for my weird indifference to it despite it containing a lot of stylistic flourishes i love

It's a distant cousin at best, and also nowhere near as brilliant as Losing You.

It's funny to have Slow Burn followed up by this dross.

I like not knowing what Baby Shark is. I do even own a smart TV.

"losing you" p easily the critically beloved song of the past decade that i dislike the most, we don't have to talk about it

good tune

why would ppl vote for baby shark tho, is ilm for babies now

are you all babies?????????? i'm gonna cyberbully fuckin all of you if that song is in the top 10

JF otm, i was really let down by Empress Of last year and even though this was the only good song on the album it's the least interesting she's ever been

i would vote for boban shark

xp

Still got time for Empress Of - preferred the previous album but the part-Spanish 'Trust Me Baby' has been stuck in my head a lot.

we're all glad I don't have earphones rn

Jelly.

this is dope... it sounds like solange's EP

boban shark would be an entirely different situation, that sounds sick and cool and for adults

so, about that...

Yesssss

ahahahaha awesome

If this is real then I am so mad

Perfect visual design on top of it.

weird time to introduce the fake out forks

"1 first place vote"

IT'S THE END

finally some actual music

though I ride for the "Bounce Patrol" version

easily my most listened to song of the year. you think you guys get hung up on a track, wait till you have a 4 year old

it was pretty annoying when i heard someone play this on bagpipes in public

I'm sure this song was engineered just like a drug by a bunch of state-financed Chinese chemists.

The kid's smile looks a little forced, which is as it should be.

Expecting baby shark to make the top 30 of the tracks poll

I'm not gonna nominate it, but if someone else does I'm definitely voting for it.

It's a deal, I will nominate it but I won't vote for it.

How are we supposed to find out the fakes with such songs placing :P

I refuse to believe that this is fake.

Baby Shark (Avalon Emerson Grandma Shark Refix)

I could go for a bagpanpipes version of 'Mooo'

may god have mercy upon our souls
