this fxxking phone

Anyways: a credible opinion from someone who can't operate his telephone, you're welcome

xp lol otm

although beyonce looms, and guido von discohoffer is about to release something really banging

Lol I remember two weeks ago when I thought Dawn Richard was a shoe-in. How long ago that was!

oh yeah Pet Shop Boys duh...

fever ray/the knife vote-splitting will make this a travesty

Kish Kash would've won by a mile, based on the then ILM user base.

OTM.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Kaputt is a lock.

yeah but a lot of votes are just to annoy the Kaputt haters!

voted for Kaputt. Why? Great Art always wins.

Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life: we're going to die. "Be of good heart," cry the dead artists out of the living past. "Our songs will all be silenced. Except for Kaputt by Destoyer, in all likelihood."

God willing.

destroyer and fever ray only two w/ grayscaled album art

gorgeous

I'm a destroyer stan as much as the next guy but come on, rubies / your blues / streethawk >>> kaputt

i'd reverse that: ttupak >>> kwahteerts \ seulb ruoy \ seibur

I kind of get the impression it's not longtime Destroyer stans who are most in love with Kaputt xp

it's very true that the love for this album is more "universal" than it is strictly "niche"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

like album-title, like messageboard

fuckin kaputt

das auto
das auto
das auto ist kaput

Was kinda expecting Third to take this for some reason.

you all disgust me

hip hop lagging behind

Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Mystic Prince Of The Purlieu At Night!
I heard your record, it's alright...

So ilxor really loves Kaputt then,

unsurprisingly this was a very convincing victory

This is partly about audience splits I think - I'm betting that a large segment of voters were split not just between Silent Shout and Fever Ray but also those and Third, whereas as a general rule I suspect the kind of voter who would put Kaputt first was not troubled by the lure of any other option.

the famed "silent shout majority" as it were

on the other hand there are also possible errors in voting, in which some people may not have actually seen kaputt listed on the ballot.

or accidentally checked off 'the streets' and voted and then immediately cursed, realizing their error.

Streethawk, then Kaputt, then Rubies, Your Blues a distant 4th

never been curious to hear kaputt, maybe I will now

What! Lol. Ridiculous. Kaputt is 2000+late

voted for Kaputt. Why? Great Art always wins.*

FTR I think "Kaputt" is a great album but this poll is really about ILM taste factions not greatness.

Oh this is great. Kaputt beat Fever Ray and Silent Shout combined. Haha. Probably a few spite-voters, then.

Btw I just heard about this book about life behind german lines in WW2 called Kaputt. Do you guys think the name of the record has anything to do with that? It would really bring something to the record, I think, this sense of the living in this world gone completely wrong.

hey guys I got this idea, and hear me out because I know there's gonna be some reactions from the tumblrsphere, but do you know what we gotta poll now? Destroyer vs. Weird Al Yankovic.

ok

xp Yes, Frederik, the Malaparte novel is where the Destroyer alb title comes from

Thanks. Never knew that. Intriguing.

Maybe some people voted for it higher than they truly rate it in order to make a point.

detrimental to the legitimacy of the entire list
