My new SOTY so far, Kero Kero Bonito's "The Princess and the Clock". I like this side of KKB a lot more than the stuff off of Time n Place.

I think there’s a fantastic 50 minute album in Notes on a Conditional Form, but sadly it’s 80 minutes long. When it’s good it’s REALLY good though, which was enough to get it to #20 on my list.

FWIW I think the best counterfactual to the acclaim of “WAP” is the acclaim (or lack thereof) of Cupcakke, a black woman rapper who makes music just as raunchy as the aforementioned song, yet has never experienced the same levels of critical adulation.

Like, in an alternate reality where “WAP” wasn’t by two famous rappers, and had stalled out at the bottom of the Hot 100 instead of hitting #1, and didn’t have a meme-ready music video, but somehow was still known to just as many critics, I’m sure it would be only 1/10th as acclaimed as it is now.
