Publication End of the Decade Lists • Page 9

Big Thief has been on a few lists and they have a new album out tomorrow.

 

FKA twigs is also finally dropping her new album next month, which seems like a very viable contender for these lists. It really makes no sense.

 

well I'm at least glad we can acknowledge that Run the Jewels haven't aged particularly well

 

Paste list is pretty cool for the most part

 

just checked and pitchforks 2000-2009 list was also published in October so I guess it’s not unprecedented. I’m sure they don’t want end of decade views to compete with end of years views, and putting it off til after the holidays would garner substantially less views than it would right now since that’s a slow month for, well, just about every industry on earth including music

 

Right? Super weird

I mean that album wasn’t nearly as critically lauded over as Shields was

 

shields will be #12 on my list

 

I know I just mean that I think its arguably their best album and it never got a fair shake from the beginning for reasons that I cant understand

 

I gave that album like a 9.5 on sanctuary review dot com

 

True, I mean it’s not my fav by them but it is weird how as a whole music media seems to be done with them, it got decent reviews but that’s about it, no hype nothing too glowing (at least not that I saw), and now no one talks about them again. Music “journalists” (playing fast and loose with that term here) are just as bad as consumers when it comes to treating bands/art like they’re disposable

 

very much agreed. also, I think they grew alot with that album esp instrumentally.

 

Painted Ruins will definitely be in my top 10 of the decade, I feel like they’ve gotten better with each album but that’s just me. I’m pretty sure publications would be all over Veckatimest on their decade lists if it was released a year later though.

 

The 30 Best Indie Albums Of The 2010s, Ranked

 

man. right off the bat this list sucks. love the indie rock stylings of the black keys!!!!!!

 

Probably the most absurd use of “indie” I’ve seen in recent memory. The word means absolutely nothing at this point.

 

i think by "indie" they literally just mean albums that weren't released on major labels

 

notoriously non-major label warner music group

 

There’s at least a few that came out on majors. That The War on Drugs record was released by Atlantic.

 

lmao okay then that list is dumb

 

Idk the details here but uhhh is it normal for a label to own a music publication??? Seems highly suspect.

 

they’re all either a) “””indie rock””” but maybe on a major or b) not in any single genre but on an indie label, which makes for a pretty convoluted and dumb list, even if i like 80% or more of the albums a lot

 

that's just a list of albums

 

thats just a list

 

That’s just a
