Publication End Of Year Lists 2017 • Page 13

This is at least better than the last but not close to strange mercy or actor

 

It's interesting to me that so many British publications have put their lists out and then crickets elsewhere.

 

Of her older stuff I really only like a select few songs but they definitely have higher highs.

 

Yeah, I don't really like any of the first three as full albums. I don't even think they have higher highs, but their highs are still great

 

I said it in the other thread, but I think MASSEDUCTION is pretty easily better than her first two but not as good as Strange Mercy or S/T. It'll be on my list, just not top 10.

 

Apotheosis by Caracara is my SOTY followed by The Way life Goes and Motion Sickness.

Pills is one of my favorites off the new St. Vincent album. I get the same feeling from Fever Ray's This Country.

 

MASSEDUCTION and Strange Mercy are my two favorites of hers, and the others are good but less good

 

I like her previous 3 albums all better than the new one. I also think Pills is one of her worst songs. I still like the album overall though.

 

It could only be a good thing that there are so many rankings, as long as you like PIlls. If you don't there should be a pill for that.

 

Strange Mercy is clearly her best, you fools.

 

Pills is great. The best song on the album is Los Ageless, though.

 

The publication lists are going to be buried in this discussion haha

 

This is now the St. Vincent ranking thread.

 

it's already january in the UK, now it makes sense

backup answer: the brits are so backwards they're the only ones that still do magazine publications which is why these lists are out so early

and rolling stone

 

I haven't listened to the new National record yet so naturally I saw the song title and started singing, "Until the day I DIIIiiieee... I'll spill my heart for yOOOuuuuu." Memories. But also, I need to listen to Sleep Well Beast.

 

It's very very good.

 

Song of the year

 

Strange mercy > St Vincent > MASSEDUCTION > Actor

As you can tell by my avatar I know my shit

 

Homie you know shit, you didn’t even list all the albums!

 

my bad obviously the 4AD sessions are #1

 

GORILLA VS. BEAR’S ALBUMS OF 2017

one of the lists i most highly anticipate every year!!!

 

Lots of fairly under the radar stuff I really liked on there (Hoops, Anna of the North, Susanne Sundfør, etc)

Lots of stuff in that top 20 I thought was unremarkable

Lots of stuff to check out, which makes it a good list

 

GvB always has the best lists

 

hope GVB does their tracks playlist like they did last year, that was always a blast to look through

surprised laura halo wasn't #1 but KLO at #2 is amazing and i can't complain about yaeji

 

Here’s a couple more
