Hard Times you mean

it's all in that style pretty much, yeah.

 

It's definitely the only Paramore album I've even marginally cared about

 

w/eeeeee

 

I love Hard Times, a LOT, but I personally don't think the rest of the album keeps up that vibe. Obviously the album's cut from the same cloth, but I only think there's a couple tracks that are as good as HT

 

I think hard times sucks quite frankly and find most of the other songs way more interesting and not as weird for the sake of being weird.

 

This is the only Paramore album I really enjoy. Idle Worship is my favorite off it.

 

Hard Times is weird?

 

I definitely like Paramore more now that they're poppier, before Still Into You I wasn't really a fan

 

for the sake of being weird???

 

I think the “hard times” in the chorus and the way she sings the rock bottom and lightning lines are weird and kill the song for me

 

yeah it's the only paramore album i like at all, too

 

I will check it, thanks folks

 

I selfishly hope you love it as it has brought me so much joy but also totally get if it's not for ya

 

Made it through the Fader 101 tracks list (6+ hours!). Some strange choices, especially their number 1 pick. I feel I didn't discover as much through it as last year, but some standouts I hadn't heard/heard only in passing before:
Lil Durk - Make it Out
Maleek Berry - Been Calling
Yung Lean - Red Bottom Sky
Julia Michaels - Issues
Camila Cabello - Havana

Extra love to The Fader for putting this Creek Boyz tracks so high. Been one of my favorites for most of the year and more people need to hear it:

 

Crack Magazine: The Top 100 Albums of 2017

 

That Lil Durk song is amazing. Durk had an incredible run this year

 

I’m kind of shocked how little Mac Demarco I’ve seen on these lists

 

Cut To The Feeling !
The 17 Best Pop Songs of 2017

 

I’m very happy about that

 

Steven Hyden's Favorite Albums of 2017

hyden's list is pretty good actually.

 

The 50 Best Albums Of 2017

stereogum!!!!!

 

Alright, going to go through and add all the albums I haven't heard yet.

 

Incendiary and Counterparts
what the fuck is going on here lol

 

Heard 36/50 on the stereogum list. Sick that Perfume Genius and Priests got places so high.

 

Not specifically a gripe with the Stereogum list, but how do you come to the conclusion that Lorde came out with the best album this year, but that St Vincent was the only other remotely similar artist to put out a top 50 album of the year?
