This. Although I’m pretty sure people would shit all over my top 8 of 2018, so yeah it goes both ways =D> |
Your top 8 are fine. I'd rather see at least five of them in the tournament's top 4 than what's there. Some Rap Songs should've been my nom... 🧱

I can see why some people aren't pleased to see Little Dark Age at this point in the tournament-it's some pretty generic 80s throwback synth pop-but I'm really impressed by the first four tracks and the rest seems decent enough. Overall, I'm not blown away but I like it. Double Negative has some really cool atmospheric electronic sounds. It seems like the soundtrack to a stylishly dark thriller to me but I'm not finding it all that engaging really. I enjoyed Low's last album quite a bit more. I can't really get into the vocals or atmosphere on this one. I'm voting Little Dark Age for the final after all.

I thought this was a pretty great final four, all things considered. It could have used a hip-hop album, but seeing as no one nominated heavyweights such as Some Rap Songs or Daytona I couldn't reasonably expect it to have one.

🤣
I'll have to second this. I mean I have no heartbeat on 2018, but from what I listened to, I thought there were a lot of losers way more intriguing, for my taste anyway... I mean at the same time, 3 of these albums are indeed top albums in all the listy lists, so makes perfect logical sense for those who agree. And yes, my list probably bores the hell out of most, so I agree with the LedZeps too.
Anyway, underdog for me on both final four efforts.

I liked MGMT a bit better; I still think this is one of the worst Low albums.
