Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
100

The best by far this year.

Standouts: Will Anybody Ever Love Me?, Shit Talk, My Red Little Fox

Sufjan Stevens - Will Anybody Ever Love Me?
100

Feels redolent of Carrie & Lowell. The moment the elements start to boil down and come into play at 2:11, I started bursting into tears. Sufjan, man, you feel like a hug that soothes me after all the shit I've been through. This is one of three tracks that evoked the same emotion released this year. The other two being Kintsugi by Lana and Turbines/Pigs by BC,NR. Maybe because I ideate love as something that only the 'beautiful' could attain and therefore deserve. Despite the singles being ... read more

Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View
80

Better call this album "Abstractions I Affirm With"

Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS
70

It does not deserve to be celebrated as if it's something that has revolutionized pop. A score this high? Think again.

Slowdive - everything is alive
80

Somehow, it still managed to become iconic. This deserves at least an 80.

Ricky Montgomery - Montgomery Ricky
80

I'd be lying if I didn't find Line Without a Hook and Mr. Loverman unforgettable.

Zild - Huminga
80

Just because it's entitled ``Huminga`` doesn't mean you should be sleeping on this

IV OF SPADES - CLAPCLAPCLAP!
50

Standouts: Dulo ng Hangganan, I Ain't Perfect

Hozier - Unreal Unearth
80

As someone from a warm climate, this has been mostly vapid.

Paris Texas - MID AIR
80

They be naming a track Lana Del Rey, while Lana names hers Paris, Texas. One of the best things that happened this year.

Ben&Ben - the once we once love
90

This song especially reminded me of my ex, and the fact that this was released a year after we broke up. The same words he said, "I apologize for coming into your life just to ruin it again." This song is so hard to tolerate the nicest way possible.

Måneskin - RUSH!
40

Been jamming to TIMEZONE and THE LONELIEST.

Embrace - Out of Nothing
80

This was a tad above half-assed but it could've done more work.

Standouts: Gravity, Out of Nothing, Someday

Ben&Ben - Lunod
100

Love the use of traditional drums. This suddenly builds up to a climax and then gradually calms. A great collaboration project.

Lola Amour - Raining In Manila
90

The instrumentation is great. I wish I could say the same for the lyrics, but pretty fine overall.

椎名もた [siinamota] - Award Strobe Hello
100

Rest in peace, legend.

Best track: アストロノーツ (Astronauts)

Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For?
80

This girl. I really love the direction she's going.
