As the end of 2013 draws near I can already hear people talking
about their plans for next year, their NYE resolutions as well. At this point,
I'd like to abuse my power as a Tzeeeac member: Robert’s Favorite Albums of
2013. The list is composed of rather unorthodox entries which would normally
get me a pretty bad reputation, but I’ve posted a Drake review before so here it goes :^) :
As a typical disclaimer I'd like to state
that they are in no order of preference and should be regarded as such.
Miley Cyrus - Bangerz
Let me start by saying that this album is
pretty solid, singles like We
won't stop and Wrecking ball make it a new type of music, maybe
some of her actions are questionable but this one surely was not. Her voice is
good, the beats were good and the themes varied and beautifully expressed.
8,5/10 AND WE CAN'T STOP, AND WE WON'T
STOP!
The Strokes - Comedown
Machine
This release from my favorite band didn't
really impress me that much, but I do admire their change capabilities, Julian's falsetto being a
genuinely impressive addition to their eclectic discography. It is an album
which makes me melancholic and strangely happy.
7,5/10 - I was expecting a tad more.
Justin Timberlake - The
20/20 Experience part I
Amazing is the only word fit to describe
such a release, not that I would be expecting anything less from JT , absolutely every detail of every
song is close to perfection into it's own way. Justin Timberlake has great ideas, themes,
collaborations and such. Excellent work Justin. Tied with a certain album, I'd
rank this my favorite of the year.
10/10 Let the Groove get in!
Jay Z - Magna Carta... Holy Grail
Magna
Carta... Holy Grail is a
rather interesting album from many points of view, Jay Z managed to take mainstream rap and
turn it chic, mixing fame and glory with emotions and creating one of the most
inspiring and successful albums of 2013, regardless of his deal with Samsung. Cool songs: Picasso baby, Holy Grail, Tom Ford.
~7,5/10
Jay, that was decent.
Kanye West - Yeezus.
While I may have
said that the albums are not in any order, I can definitely say this is the
album of the year for me. The innovations brought about are simply astonishing,
beats, singing styles, themes, advertising, everything was incredibly well
planned and executed. I mean come one, projecting New Slaves across the world on buildings before
the album came out , that was awesome.
~10/10 KanYe make
some more?
Tyler, The Creator - Wolf
Golf Wang leader Wolf
Haley released a very nice
album in April, the themes are unsurprisingly dark, twisted, and pretty well exposed.
The lyrical content is haunting yet hyperactive and obviously vulgar; Tyler
8/10 Tallullah
Willis in Tamale
Other albums which
were great:
Arctic Monkeys - AM
Justin Timberlake -
The 20/20 Experience part II
Daft Punk - R.A.M.
ASAP FERG - Hood
pope
ASAP ROCKY - Long.
Live. ASAP
Drake - Nothing was
the same
