Publication End of the Year Lists 2019 • Page 4

you will never be able to convince me that a best of list shouldn't contain the best of.

 

Passion Of The Weiss doesn’t put singles on their singles list that are from albums that they put on their album list. They do this for more diversity. They simply highlight this at the beginning of the list. I think it’s a similar situation.

 

Also Pitchfork can’t make a list I care about anyway, I don’t care how they title it lol

 

Yeah I can agree with that at least. I still visit pitchfork for news, but their lists and reviews are just not for me

 

Acclaimed rock record “I,I” by Bon Iver

 

No Lover for Taylor is insane

 

Uproxx excludes albums from their main list when they make genre list, which has led to extra exposure for really great records that weren't necessarily as widely heard. I get what @username is arguing for, definitely. It always made sense to me, at least in regards to something like their "Best Country Albums" lists, which delve beyond the 2-3 token country records that they put on the overall list.

 

The 100 Best Albums of 2019

1000 Gecs at #1. That's a take outside of the mainstream publishers

 

all of the mainstream publishers love gecs

 

No one at Vice listens to jazz, then

 

Thank you for letting me know that reading this would be a waste of time

 

Resavoir and Angel Bat David made the cut. Still pretty light on the jazz though.

 

Ah, must have missed them. I liked the Resevoir album, but out of all the great jazz released this year? It’s way down the list.

 

The 25 Best Metal Albums of 2019

 

but love it enough to be #1? Very weird choice

 

I respect a gecs #1 way more than I respect putting one the standard critical darings at that spot.

 

The ones I've heard from here are very good and lots that have been on my list to check forever.
