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.

Hey Violet - From the Outside | Album Review

From the Outside is the debut studio album by American pop-rock band Hey Violet (at least under this moniker), released on June 16, 2017. Hey Violet originally began as Cherri Bomb, a punk rock band, until they eventually morphed into their current situation, with a few members rotated out. Hey Violet originally was a 5 Seconds of Summer side act, but it'd be so wrong to write them off like that. Hey Violet has far exceeded 5SOS in my eyes, from their first EP, Brand New Moves, to their current state. Stylistically, it's hard to pin down exactly what genre this album is. Though classified as "pop rock", the album is rife with EDM and pop influences, as well as a few standout tracks with different styles; there's even one that almost seems to have a Victorian style. "Break My Heart" is a pretty good taste of the blend of styles that Hey Violet utilizes. This is the second single from the album. The verses are supported by electric guitar instrumenta...

Tove Lo - Blue Lips | Album Review

Blue Lips is Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo's third solo album, released on November 17, 2017. It is the second half of a two piece concept album; the first half is last year's Lady Wood , which is one of my favorite albums. It features the final two chapters of the concept album; Light Beam and Pitch Black. It was a hard choice to decide to review this album. This is simply because Tove Lo is definitely my favorite artist ever; Queen of the Clouds is my favorite album. Thus, I figured that I would be too biased. However, after listening to this album many times, it seems like I am in the right mindset to accurately review it. It certainly has flaws and strengths that I can address through a mostly unbiased lens. I'm going to return to my older format of reviewing for this album, track by track, because it's mostly chronological. I'd like to address the cover. It's frankly horrible, and I didn't want to really put it on my blog because my parents re...

Collage - The Chainsmokers EP Review

Preface: Thank you SO MUCH for all of the support for the last review! It honestly inspires me so much. Collage is the second extended play from the dynamic duo themselves, EDM producers The Chainsmokers. Everyone and their uncle has heard their mega-hit "Closer", so this EP had a very reasonable amount of hype. Since then, The Chainsmokers have established themselves as overgrown fratboys, with ridiculous interviews, shade at other artists, and general immaturity. However, they surprised us all with this. Collage is an absolute masterpiece, with some of the most original and innovative EDM tracks since Skrillex himself! Just kidding. It sucks. Final Verdict: 17.34/100 Okay, fine, let's be real. The Chainsmokers has delivered some of the most radio-friendly, cliche, formulaic EDM/pop songs in a long time with this four-track EP. The first track, "Setting Fires", is a good example of this. The first verse and the intro are rather good; XYLO (Seriou...
