Lets hope she changes the setlist throughout the tour

Miss thing better serve some iconic vocals like million dollar man and heart shaped box

I can't wait to see the stage set up

So she just deleted this pic with lighter. She's jealous that it got more likes than this low quality pic...

1. Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun
Dark, heavy and noisy yet melodic and enchanting.
2. Björn Meyer - Provenance
Beautiful acoustic, instrumental music. Mostly guitar-driven.
3. Queens Of The Stone Age - Villains
Some extremely fun alternative rock.
4. Sevdaliza - ISON
Intenset and cinematic mix of fragile and vulnerable sounds, warm ambient electronica and great beats.
5. UNKLE - The Road, Pt. 1
Soft, modern TripHop
6. Lana Del Rey - Lust For Life
It's Lana. It has some beautiful gems. But it's also her weakest record to date.
7. Beth Ditto - Fake Sugar
Nothing too deep, but a ot of good vibes
8. Mando Diao - Good Times
The boys are back with some indie-rock. It's a bit more superficial than their previous material, but still a lot of fun.

My favourite albums of 2017, in no particular order:
 
Lust for Life - Lana Del Rey
Of course, BtD will always be the number one classic and Ultraviolence is GOLD but I'm enjoying this new sound a lot.
It's still Lana, but with brand new layers. I know, I know, she does that with every new album.
This Old Dog - Mac DeMarco
I've been a fan since 2 and this is my favourite Mac album. His music makes my heart ache and at the same time, puts a stupid smile on my face.
Melodrama - Lorde
A really good album that's a joy to listen to while driving. Personal favourite: "Homemade Dynamite".
The Altar - Banks
I love her warm, raspy voice. All her melodies. The lyrics. The sounds. On a side note, I've finally had the pleasure of seeing her live this year. 
Freudian - Daniel Caesar
Wow, this was a random discovery. Gospel and R&B, man. That voice. True talent.
Please listen to this album if you haven't already. And please listen to this album again and again if you already have.
Tell Me You Love Me - Demi Lovato
I didn't expect to like this album as much as I do. So many bops. You got me, Demi, I'm a fan now.
dont smile at me - Billie Eilish
The album I've been waiting for ever since listening to "Ocean Eyes" for the first time. Thank God, she didn't disappoint. So young and so talented. 
DAMN. - Kendrick Lamar
I'm not an expert when it comes to rap but even I can recognize a true classic.
Ctrl - SZA
What a debut. Strong. Unique. Contrasts of soft, soulful sounds and crass, brutally honest lyrics.
 
I also want to mention:
 
Hard (EP) - The Neighbourhood
Even though it's only an EP... I love The NBHD and all these songs were an important part of my fall soundtrack.
Love Hotel - Yung Hurn
I'm laughing at myself for desperately wanting to mention this one. Been listening to him a lot, for the vibes. Best songs: "Diamant" and "Sag mir".
About Time - Sabrina Claudio
Refreshing sound. Warm vocals and good lyrics.
More Life - Drake
It's Drake!!! DRAKE. Love you, Drake, 4ever.
 
 
[also, copying @Body Electric by commenting on each album ]

1. Lust for Life - Lana Del Rey
A diverse yet cohesive record. Interesting to see Lana delve into a different thematic approach to her music. Thoroughly enjoy the inclusion of political commentary and the features worked well also. A little too lengthy to listen to in one sitting, though, and some song titles are clunky and awkward, but these are only minor bothers that do not detract from the brilliance of the record overall.
Favorite tracks: Cherry, 13 Beaches, Heroin, Change, Love, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems, Change
 
2. Melodrama - Lorde
Her strongest record to date. Love the interspersion of strings into the songs and the production is excellent overall. Every song flows perfectly from one to the next, creating a great sense of cohesion. Could have been a tad longer, however.
Favorite tracks: Liability, Sober, Perfect Places, Homemade Dynamite, Hard Feelings/Loveless
 
3. Masseduction - St. Vincent
First St. Vincent album I've listened to and every song is well-crafted. Her lyricism is thoughtful and intelligent. Quite short overall, though, and the ordering of some tracks is questionable.
Favorite tracks: Los Ageless, Masseduction, New York, Savior, Sugarboy, Slow Disco, Happy Birthday, Johnny
 
4. Utopia - Björk
A lush, atmospheric record with the perfect contrast between moments of pure bliss and loss. A great way to follow-up Vulnicura. Some of the vocals could have been re-recorded though, as they sound messy.
Favorite tracks: Blissing Me, Loss, Sue Me, Saint, Future Forever, Arisen My Senses
 
5. Self-titled - Dua Lipa
A strong debut album featuring plenty of bops. It's not every day that a singer comes through on their debut.
Favorite tracks: Hotter Than Hell, New Rules, Last Dance, Room For 2
 
6. Number 1 Angel - Charli XCX
Charli truly delivered with this PC-pop masterpiece. The features complement her voice and style. Extremely fun and enjoyable record. Too bad it ends so quickly.
Favorite tracks: Roll With Me, Drugs, Dreamer, 3AM (Pull Up)
 
7. Pure Comedy - Father John Misty
Although the music itself is quite simple and straightforward, the lyricism on this record is superb and offers such an articulate and in-depth analysis of the current sociopolitical climate, particularly as it pertains to the USA.
Favorite tracks: Ballad of the Dying Man, Pure Comedy, Two Wildly Different Perspectives, So I'm Growing Old On Magic Mountain, Total Entertainment Forever
 
8. CollXtion II - Allie X
A great follow-up to the first collection of songs. Some nice bops as well as some emotional pieces. Cover art is too odd for my tastes, though, and I don't understand how it relates to the album.
Favorite tracks: Old Habits Die Hard, Simon Says, Lifted, True Love is Violent, That's So Us, Casanova
 
9. Younger Now - Miley Cyrus
Didn't ever think I'd be putting a Miley Cyrus album in any 'top 10' list, ever, but this album is a nice experience. I think Miley has found the perfect balance between her more upbeat pop style and her raw, country origins. 'Rainbowland' is a travesty, though and should never have gotten the green light to go on the record.
Favorite tracks: Younger Now, Malibu, Week Without You, Thinkin'
 
10. Self-titled - Harry Styles
Brilliant melodies and production, and Harry's vocals are quite diverse as well. I tend to prefer the more mellow, emotional songs as opposed to the more 'fun' side of the record.
Favorite tracks: Sign of the Times, Meet Me in the Hallway, Two Ghosts, Ever Since New York
 
 
Honorable mentions go to:
Poppy.Computer - Poppy Hard (EP) - The Neighbourhood Kesha - Rainbow Non-existent album - Marina and the Diamonds   

I love reading through everyones opinions on Lana and the album. Ya'll are so well spoken and intelligent, makes me remember why i joined this forum. But yeah i agree with some of you, i think it's nice that Lana has decided to join the real world and speak up about political topics, it's lovely and she's setting a good example towards her younger listeners too. However, i don't think it entirely works for her musically.
 
Like someone said earlier, Change was her best "woke" track because unlike the other political tracks, it wasn't about society, it was just about her. In the past her art and aesthetics have always heavily relied on herself. HER life, HER interests and HER problems. And i think that's when she truly shines. Because when an artist sings about personal topics, they make it their mission to be great because it's coming from the heart. And it's beneficial to her career, to her fans and to the music. So i would much prefer if she'd stick to her fantasy stories and such, but i'm also fine with whichever path she takes next.

Taking a vow not to post on this thread until something new happens.
Who's with me? 
 

No, we just can't handle you and your nasty mouth

@sexwithme back at it again with the worst takes, per usual

SEXWITHME IS A TROLL. DON'T TALK TO HIM/HER/THEY

Look, you skeptics sure as hell are very lucky that you have not experienced a mental illness or sexual abuse that helps you understand this case. But maybe stop misusing your good luck to assume that everyone else should be as ignorant as you.
 
 
 
 
Would they like to come forward?  
 
 
 
 
I guess not, maybe cause not very many exist, or maybe it's just the 13 year old stans that are too young to know how important standing with the victim is instead of their idol

I'm sure there are women also not believing

So...people with BPD can't get raped? Hm okay..
