The current state of Arscore, I suppose |
| 25 |  | The Beta Band
Heroes to Zeros
"Easy" - 29 plays
One of the only upbeat songs on the album. Kinda funky, very fun. |
| 24 |  | Jenny Hval
Apocalypse, girl
"Sabbath" - 29 plays
I honestly don't have much to say about this one. It's very poetic? It's very good, okay? |
| 23 |  | Gal Costa
India
"Relance" - 29 plays
Discordant Brazil-funk. |
| 22 |  | Deerhoof
Friend Opportunity
"Believe E.S.P." - 29 plays
Man though that riff+cowbell combo is an A+. |
| 21 |  | Mamalarky
Mamalarky
"Almighty Heat" - 30 plays
All about that synth. Would probably be higher if I didn't just get into it in December. |
| 20 |  | Donovan
The Hurdy Gurdy Man
"Teas" - 30 plays
Also part of the "would've been higher if I got into it earlier" club. Hell I could see this breaking top 5. Do I like Donovan more than The Beatles? Uh oh, maybe. Wistful stuff. |
| 19 |  | Isolde Lasoen
Oh Dear
"Something French" - 31 plays
Actually why has no one else heard this album? It's like Melody's Echo Chamber meets Stereolab meets spy music. Like c'mon guys it's obvious. |
| 18 |  | Nina Nastasia
On Leaving
"One Old Woman" - 32 plays
Goddamn this is a great folk song. |
| 17 |  | Funkadelic
Let's Take It to the Stage
"Better by the Pound" - 33 plays
P-Funk already has too many "best funk songs of all time" for this to be the best funk of all time, but it's a contender on a waiting list of dozens. |
| 16 |  | Dr. John
Dr. John's Gumbo
"Junko Partner" - 33 plays
Soundtracked my Mardi Gras New Orleans trip to this album lol. |
| 15 |  | Ween
Chocolate and Cheese
"Smooth Mover" - 35 plays
I mean c'mon the deluxe release had so many good bonus tracks. One had to be here. |
| 14 |  | mclusky
The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire
"Icarus Smicarus" - 35 plays
Album as a whole is nowhere near Mclusky Do Dallas, but it has great highlights. |
| 13 |  | Cocteau Twins
Four-Calendar Cafe
"Bluebeard' - 35 plays.
Oddly pastoral for them. Easily my fave on the album. |
| 12 |  | Morgan Delt
Phase Zero
"Mssr. Monster" - 36 plays
Bass riff time with kinda preachy lyrics. Good shit. |
| 11 |  | Goldfrapp
Tales Of Us
"Drew" - 36 plays
I'm definitely becoming a more wistful person. We remember that time we stood there by the lake? |
| 10 |  | Eels
Electro-Shock Blues
"P.S. You Rock My World" - 36 plays
Took way too long for me to hear this album. This closes a very negative set of songs brilliantly on an optimistic note. |
| 9 |  | Crumb (USA-NY)
AMAMA
"AMAMA" - 36 plays
Oh my god, something from an actual 2024 release? On MY playlist? Yeah, but it's just a chill psych jam. |
| 8 |  | Hiatus Kaiyote
Love Heart Cheat Code
"Dimitri" - 37 plays
More 2024. This album was definitely a move toward simplicity, but Dimitri isn't, so it stood out. Love the drums and that clicking sound. |
| 7 |  | Tragic Mulatto
Chartreuse Toulouse
"Scabs on Lori's Arm" - 38 plays
Disgusting lyrics, a guitar line that belongs in the gutter, off-key wailing, and trombones. What's wrong with me? |
| 6 |  | Pram
Sargasso Sea
"Loose Threads" - 38 plays
Unfortunately was too relatable earlier this year. Damaged artsy music dipped in the ocean. |
| 5 |  | The Jesus Lizard
Shot
"Blue Shot" - 40 plays
Rack wishes it was this good. LIES, PLACIDYS! |
| 4 |  | Lou Reed
Transformer
"Vicious" - 40 plays
I need to glam rock more. Cowbell is a great instrument. SNL was right. |
| 3 |  | Smoke City
Flying Away
"Jamie Pan" - 41 plays
Too many of you only know "Underwater Love", but the whole album is great! |
| 2 |  | fantasy of a broken heart
Feats of Engineering
"Mega" - 46 plays
From a 2024 release. Tied for 1st. Dreamy, cute, fun, airy, light, pianoey. Yeah. |
| 1 |  | Elliott Smith
Either/Or
"Alameda" - 46 plays
Also tied for 1st. I can't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I love Elliott Smith now. Dude makes Eels look like a sunshine frolic. But man these lyrics are too perfect. God. |
