The critics lists have been pouring and here are this year's overstuffed LPs:
1. Mitski Be The Cowboy:
I know, I’m #TeamMitski but given what she produced prior to this album, it just doesn’t hold a candle. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.7/10)2. Robyn Honey:
I can hear the outrage now: but Neil, its Robyn. Yes, we all love Robyn but I feel being starved of new music from her caused this inevitable love for what is essentially a rather plain break-up album. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.9/10)3. Idles Joy As An Act Of Resistance:
this really is just loudness. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.8/10)4. Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour:
again, decent but I feel she has many more tricks to come given time. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.9/10)5. Tirzah Devotion:
it’s decent but hardly memorable. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8/10)6. Let’s Eat Grandma I’m All Ears:
all ears and spinning too many ideas in every single track. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.5/10)7. Courtney Barnett Tell Me How You Really Feel:
still finding her feet even though critics are falling all over themselves to carry her. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8/10)8. Shame Songs Of Praise:
there’s no shortage of guys shouting in bands so thank you Shame but next. (METACRITIC SCORE: 7.9/10)9. Tierra Whack Whack World:
fifteen tracks clocking in at fifteen minutes and well, there goes the craft to make this project twice as good as it really was. (METACRITIC SCORE: N/A)10. Kids See Ghosts Kids See Ghosts:
in the middle of his unremarkable year, Kanye teams up with Kid Cudi to present pretty much more semi-good songs. (METACRITIC SCORE: 8.4/10)
