slowthai - UGLY
85
An acronym for "U Gotta Love Yourself", UGLY is slowthai's third record to date, and arguably his most honest and revealing, as slowthai seemly comes to terms with his flaws in an attempt to love himself. In terms of UGLY's sonics, one could describe the record as sounding "ugly", presenting a punk-influenced backdrop heavier than anything slowthai has explored in the past.

Arlo Parks - My Soft Machine

quite boring. generic and basic.
Kesha - Gag Order
80
legitimately blown away. i did not expect this. boundary pushing, experimental, personal, revealing, disturbing and intriguing. quite impressed
Lewis Capaldi - Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent
20
Let’s be real. He’s a shit vocalist, and a shit songwriter. He’s just shit. All hate intended.
Anais Chantal - Where Do I Go??
50
Painfully boring.
Cheap mixing and layering of VERY generic instrumentals, making the record feeling quite under produced. Anais is a capable vocalist, sure, but her vocals aren’t amazing and nothing to write home about. She also doesn’t say much of anything interesting, again just keeping the record from being anything other than boring.
Nanna - How to Start a Garden
77
Nanna’s vocals were almost always the highlight of Of Monsters And Men’s music, now bringing her signature delicacy and soft delivery to this intimate solo outing.

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

I'm making a list where, judging by AOTY users' individual top ten albums, I'm compiling a ranked community top 100. I'd love it if you could contribute by just replying with your top ten ranked from 1-10; I'm totally fine with being redirected to a ranked favourites list of sorts, if that's what you'd prefer.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and replying, if you do.

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

I'm making a list and I'd love to know which album has had the greatest influence on your current taste in music? If you want, I'd also appreciate it if you could say exactly how it's made you grow/learn more as a listener (don't worry, you don't have to do this part).

Thank you for reading and answering, if you do
