My 2017 Album Ranking

Wew, I haven't posted in quite a while. It's winter break for me, but I don't have much motivation for the blog right now, and I feel like there weren't any albums worth reviewing recently. I will, however, be reviewing the new Camila Cabello album that comes out in 5 days.

Anyways, here's my ranking for all of the albums and EPs that I listened to last year. Combined, there are over 70 projects, all organized into tiers. If you'd like to discuss one of my placements, just leave a comment! I'd really like to see more comments and discussion on this blog.

Halsey - hopeless fountain kingdom | Album Review

hopeless fountain kingdom  is alternative (or at least, that's what she likes to be called) singer-songwriter Halsey's second studio album. Released June 2nd 2017, this album comes hot on the trail of Halsey's recent commercial success; the MASSIVE collaboration with The Chainsmokers, topping the chart for so many weeks. Though I'm certainly not a fan of that song by any stretch of the word, I do indeed respect the success of "Closer" and can see the appeal. For this album, Halsey told us that she wouldn't go full pop; that she would still be alternative, and she did stand by these words, for the most part. hopeless fountain kingdom , or HFK, for short, is a great alternative synth-pop album, albeit confusing at a lot of parts. She promoted this album by releasing videos and teasers comparing the album to Romeo and Juliet; at least, a more modernized version. Supposedly, the story depicted a relationship based on that Shakespearean tale, but the way that...

The Chainsmokers - Memories... Do Not Open | Album Review

Sorry I'm so behind... I lost access to my major reviewing procedure, and I also have a ton of school. I hope to get back on track now! Memories...Do Not Open  is the aptly named debut album by the dynamic EDM duo The Chainsmokers. This album was certainly hyped a LOT... they had 5 top 20 hits in the last year, with Closer, Roses, Don't Let Me Down, Something Just Like This, and Paris , two of which are on this album. I have previously reviewed their EP Collage, which I highly disliked, with the lowest score on my blog of 28/100. Thankfully, this album surpassed my expectations, if just a little bit. The first thing to note about this album, which is certainly extremely strange, is that every single track is co-produced by DJ Swivel. This is rather weird for a supposed EDM group... Emily Warren, a singer/songwriter I rather like (especially with her song Capsize last year) also participates in a lot of the tracks on this album, lending uncredited features, writing credits, ...

Julia Michaels - Nervous System | EP Review

It's been WAY too long! I gotta get back on schedule. Nervous System is the debut EP (or mini-album, as she called it for some reason) from songwriter/singer Julia Michaels. It was released on July 28th, 2017. Julia Michaels built her reputation by writing many, many pop tracks, for just about every artist that you can think of. She helped make so many songs Billboard hits, so she definitely has quite a bit of reputation to stand on. Every track except the first one is produced by Mattman & Robin, and curiously, Julia is not the sole writer; she has 3 other co-writers on every single track except the final one. Even though Julia has helped lots of other artists, the GP didn't really know her name until her lead single, "Issues". Her voice is rather strange; it's lilting and kind of squeaky, but at least she's different sounding. Other than that, this is a very stereotypical pop song; if you looked up "boring pop", this would be it. Do keep ...
