Just to be clear, the biggest disappointment of the year was the release of the soundtrack (not score) for Stranger Things 4 which did not include the mix of “Running Up That Hill” used in the show’s pivotal scene, nor the gorgeous orchestral mix used for the episode’s end credits. What did we get instead? Seven dozen mediocre, awful, and increasingly annoying cover versions that failed to understand the point of the original and that quickly deteriorated its magic and impact. That’s just how disappointments work — they’re not things you hate, or that are inherently terrible. They’re things that fail to meet your expectations or fail to provide what you were looking or hoping for. Here are ten of this year’s in no particular order:
Circa Survive: Two Dreams // Red Velvet: Bloom
Sigrid: How to Let Go // aespa: GIRLS
Cleo: Vinylova // Above & Beyond: The Last Glaciers (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Taylor Swift: Midnights // Key: Gasoline
TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE: NOCTURNAL // Michael Jackson: Thriller 40
