starting to remember how much further from my taste these album polls are compared to the tracks polls.

BoC, at least late-period BoC, has nothing at all to do with IDM. It's not naive either. They're good at layers of sound, which I happen to love at 2 in the morning when I don't feel like staying awake but don't quite feel like going to bed either. xps

Fair enough, to be honest I never got past Music Has the Right to Children, which has one good track and the rest is kinda boring.

lol v glad my l8 ballot got ne-yo into the TOP 100

I voted for In My Own Words and think Gentleman is pretty unremarkable outside of the (great) singles, but still really happy to see Ne-Yo here.
― Mr. Zone 77 (some dude), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:13 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah but i bet your late vote got animal collective in the top 5 ;)

Well then you missed their best EP and album, in 2000 and 2002, respectively.

nearly half the tracks on YOTG were singles, and on top of those i think "what's the matter?", "so you can cry" and "lie to me" are all fantastic songs too - i really like in my own words but def prefer gentleman, its highs are higher imo.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Yup, I voted for YOTG. Great album.
the singles on that album are titanic, and i found it a bit problematic when getting into the thing as a whole -- it's really a slow burn in that sense

92. NEKO CASE Fox Confessor Brings the Flood (2006) [196 points, 8 votes]http://media.anti.com/neko_case/fox_confessor_mini-hi.jpg
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:20 (fourteen years ago) link
bad album imo
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:20 (fourteen years ago) link
well I mainly meant "Closer" and "Miss Independent" -- am kind of indifferent to "Mad," forgot "Part Of The List (Sexy Hermit Crab Woman)" was a single and don't count "Single" since a different version was a single for a different act, so I really meant it has 2 great songs and 10 I wouldn't mind never hearing again.
― Mr. Zone 77 (some dude), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
a few amazing songs, can't remember the rest
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
i think i liked a couple songs on that one, only one i can remember the name of is 'maybe sparrow'
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Most of Neko's solo songs sound half-finished. Fox Confessor is no different.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i like 'teenage feeling' a lot p good soda commercial
― Lamp, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:23 (fourteen years ago) link
also some dude ur retarded 'mad' is tremendous
"single" and "mad" are the most amazing YOTG tracks imo
never heard fox confessor; i love her voice, i thought blacklisted was a wonderful album, but last year's effort left me cold...
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:23 (fourteen years ago) link
fox conf closer to the newest one than blacklisted, which is actually a good album
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Didn't vote, but Fox Confessor would be my #1.

Ahh, it's started. I liked Tha Carter III and The Campfire Headphase but didn't feel like I knew either of them quite well enough to make my ballot. Am very surprised that the Camera Obscura album made it - I liked 'Hey Lloyd' a lot but am so uninterested by most of the rest of their songs. Borrrrring.

"Part Of The List (Sexy Hermit Crab Woman)"
plz explain

Huge Boards of Canada fan, and I enjoyed The Campfire Headphase. I didn't vote for it, though, feeling that it wasn't quite up to the level of their first two LPs.
― untrue pitch, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link
even the mere mention of los campesinos makes me twitch with repulsion/desire to punch them in the face. when i tweeted a link to my singles jukebox slagging of them, without an @, the losers still tweeted me back :(
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link
never heard them. nice to see boc make it though.

"Mad" is one of those songs where I think Schaffer gets a little too Manilow and I miss the R&B, plus it sounds like he's sneezing in the chorus.
"Part Of The List" verse 1: "it's your left hand and the way that it's not quite as big as your right"
― Mr. Zone 77 (some dude), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i'll choose smaller ones
los camp was my #3

I really should pay more attention to lyrics, I suppose...

It's twitter, guys. It is public.
Not really a fan of Los Campesinos, mind you. I love a lot of stuff they are influenced by, but their way of doing it just doesn't strike the right chord with me.

― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:44 (fourteen years ago) link
well obv it's public, but to find it they'd have to a) be doing constant searches for their band name and b) then, amongst the thousands of results, still care enough about a one-paragraph blurb to tweet me about it
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Still love S-K, still don't think The Woods was all that great (or One Beat, for that matter).
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:45 (fourteen years ago) link
and whoa i haven't thought about this album in an age - it impressed me at the time but, um, "impressive" rather than "enjoyable" given how little i've returned to/can remember it
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:45 (fourteen years ago) link
one beat is the only S-K album (that i've heard) that i outright love - every song on it is just huge
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Quite the opposite for me with Los Campesinos. They don't really seem like something that should work for me on the face of it, but they really work for me. Lotsa xps.
― maciej recognizing trill, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Dunno if I can think of an album from this period that was opened up for me by seeing the material live more than <em>The Woods</em>.
― maciej recognizing trill, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link
kinda hate Los Campesinos
<3 S-K and Neko - "Fox Confessor" is full of highlights, u r all mad.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah even if i made a top 100 list of these years i don't think the woods would make it. but i like it fine. i don't listen to it much either, but i do call up their letterman performance of "jumpers" sometimes, it's really good.
― a tenth level which features a single castle (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link
<3 <3 <3 <3 the past 4 albums. Ne-Yo maybe the best singles artist of the time, in a nice 'wow i love hearing that on the radio now and again, its so refreshing' kinda way. Neko tugs the heart strings. Los Camp! was my #1 and post-football I may write more on it (sorry lex). And S-K are the bestest.
