Topic	Rank the Tracks Week 63: Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory (+Folklore results)
CasanovaZelos 05/15/22 11:53:45 AM #5:	I mentioned having three themes in mind for my week - I decided to simply choose my favorite of each theme. SOPHIE - Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides: There were two moments at the beginning of last year that inspired me to create this topic series - Daft Punk announcing their break-up and the tragic death of SOPHIE. More than any other artist, I think SOPHIE helped push the limits of what music could be throughout the 2010s. She helped push the Bubblegum Bass/Hyperpop style to the semi-mainstream with her early singles - then, with her debut album, she juxtaposed those tracks with their exact opposite, some of the harshest electronic music I have experienced that I first saw referred to as 'Post-Industrial' but still feel so beyond us that any modern term feels insufficient. As such, I have to share two tracks to really do this album justice (and I think it would be fun to rank due to the extreme difference between these styles). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv3yIv9nwf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ6ppVyWgCI Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There: My second favorite album of this year so far, and another that seems to defy genre boundaries. They land solidly in the post-rock genre - but where their debut came with clear Slint influences, BCNR really found their own, more mellow direction on their sophomore album. This is music that sounds endlessly expansive, and my only hesitance with it is kind of feels like too much to truly analyze in just a week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjC4qXiBRu4 Portishead - Third: Another experimental album, though this one has been around enough for its legacy to be firmly established. Next to Silent Shout, I think this might be the most atmospherically dense album of the 2000s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJeiWYFrio --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:965051923] in Rank the T...
