Feeling pretty low right now and I feel this is going to come out as a stream of consciousness more than anything analytical. I honestly feel weird listening to music like this, and this album gives me a similar feeling as the Mitski one did earlier in this topic. The lyrics and storytelling are great, but it almost feels too personal, like I'm eavesdropping and I shouldn't actually be privy to this information. I guess that speaks to the quality of the music, but I can't say I enjoy the feeling or experience. I often let an album sit in the background for at least one of my listens while I browse the internet, but albums like this make it hard to focus on anything other than the words I'm hearing. It's all very gripping and immediate, her delivery really demands your attention. I'm not sure if the album itself put me in this funk, or if I was already having these feelings and the music doesn't distract me from my feelings, but it's a little hard to listen to. It's likely the latter, as the music here isn't overtly sad for the most part, but it is quite emotional, and I don't think I could describe any of the subject matter as frivolous, but even the tracks that should be more fun like "Crew" aren't doing much for my mood. I really just need to get away from this album, which happens to be pretty good. I think. *Final Rating: Bleh/10* Rankings SZA - Ctrl Janelle Monae - The Electric Lady --- Gorillaz - Humanz Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear Frank Turner - Poetry of the Deed --- Mitski - Puberty 2 Dessa - A Badly Broken Code --- The Veronicas - Hook Me Up Queens of the Stone Age - Villains --- Neil Cicierga - Mouth Moods Fit For An Autopsy - The Great Collapse Joey Bada$$ - ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ Everything Everything - A Fever Dream Soen - Lykaia Masayoshi Takanaka - An Insatiable High --- Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory Handguns - Life Lessons The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis Michelle Branch - Hopeless Romantic Depeche Mode - Delta Machine --- The National - Sleep Well Beast --- Every Time I Die - Low Teens These tiers will all be given names soon, and if I succeed, the rankings will make even less sense than they currently do based on the writeups. --- http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/these-beautiful-nightmares <cite>thundersheep posted [p:887423968] in Recommend ...
