The 3rd Art Brut album is just as good, if not better.

And The Life Pursuit was the first B&S album I really liked since Sinister, mostly because Stuart Murdoch ended the democracy that crippled them for years and took control of the singing/songwriting again for the most part.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
if all the original posters from when i first started reading ilx way back were still here, every B&S album from the 00s would probably be in the top 10.

I love Two Suns btw (not so much for "Daniel" but for "Glass" and "Two Planets") so any disgruntled B&S fans should really take my teasing with a grain of salt.

Just checked in for the day, as usual none of my picks have come up. Really surprised with the indieness of the list so far, I'd never have guessed it was voted by the same people who did the tracks list. Aren't there any Southern rap albums?
xp - nothing wrong with Belle and Sebastian, didn't vote for them though.

Is it wrong that I've reached an age where I feel like it's impossible for me to take a band named "Fuck Buttons" seriously?
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
the trax peoples votes will probably come up in the later stages. I expect there to be shitloads of rap,pitchfork faves, mainstream pop and rnb to come with a few big consensus dance albums and hopefully Scott Walker.

i think the bigger thing wrt metal voting is that those of us who do vote in these things have divergent tastes (or at least diff obsessions) but i think that if u1v3r hasnt made it in by this point the LJ/JJ voting block has been defeated for sure
― Dr. Chuck Klosterman, LLC (jjjusten), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link
ok john votes, but him & i are the only ones i think. And when I pick an 80% metal ballot i know that the 80% wont get near the top 100.I still cba doing a decade of metal poll. It feels so last year & overdone in all the mags.I did consider doing an ILM all time metal album poll by email but noone would volunteer to tabulate it (and im rubbish at that kind of thing) so the idea is dead unless someone else will volunteer.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 20:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I voted ulver but we know they wont make it
jj fancy tabulating a poll?
RHYTHM & SOUND See Mi Yah
my fav album so far^ soooo heavy, thick, hallucinatory. the beat should get old but doesn't, a testament to the subtle balance of all the elements in the music; like everything Moritz Von Oswald releases it really feels lived-in and well thought out. its an album that i can play over and over without getting sick of them.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
ALRIGHT! fuck buttons made it! Love them and this album. im 2 for 16 right now. hopefully this poll keeps on taking a turn for the noisy.

i would consider it but would need some guidance thanks to never tabulating one before and worries that i would get overwhelmed/confused, say fuck it, and have to start posting here under some assumed name thx to peeps gunning for me when the results never showed up.
xpost to pfunk obv

lol @ how the santigold album is no longer eponymous
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:04 (fourteen years ago) link
The Fuck Buttons album is good, but not great. Suffers a bit from the syndrome that the Battles LP and The Field (which I voted for) also have. Admirable works, but the concept can get a bit one-dimensional in the long run.
― untrue pitch, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I voted for plenty of metal too (I even voted for u1v3r, though pretty low).

jj will discuss it with you on googlechat. glenn says he can help you with the software he uses as its work related so hes free to help you.

ez you wont vote for the 2 other bands most likely to scrape in a poll :(

also my #1 is technically a metal album and I refuse to count it out, yet.
― gman59, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Actually it is. Pressings since the name change have altered graphics.

ok dude. prob will not be on googlechat for a few thx to home computer hard drive destructo but thinking this isnt something that needs to get done next week so xpost pfunk yep yep

Also, I still love this album! xp
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
yay Santigold btw
"Starstruck" is totally my jam from this album, weirdly. (Besides "L.E.S. Artistes" I mean)
― emo WINNER! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
i still have been unable to get this whole santigold thing, which given peeps who like them is weird.

I still like Lights Out a lot too, even after hearing it a zillion times in the Bud Lime commercials. (note to Bud Lime: people don't want to see other people swimming in yellow water. It looks like urine.)

too low
― Lamp, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
I think more of my picks have appeared so far on this poll than they did in the entire of the Tacks results.
Caribou , Vitalic (just got into over the past year really. Lovin it. The follow up should have been nommed as well imo), Belle & Sebastian (one of my favourite ever bands, but not overly keen on this record. I put it on at the bottom of my list, just for "We Are the Sleepyheads" and old time's sake), Bat For Lashes.
When they first came along I thought Art Brut were going to be something I would really like. Listened to that album and thought 'uh, maybe not'.
― Born too beguiled (DavidM), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:14 (fourteen years ago) link
speaking as a dude who voted for over and over, that hot chip album was unbelievably fucking awful imo
― DANZIG CONCEAL AND CARRY PERMIT (jjjusten), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
it's a good album, but i think all their albums get progressively better
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
The newest one is minor step backwards, but I mostly agree with that.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:16 (fourteen years ago) link
That Santigold album wasn't bad at all. Didn't vote for it myself though.
― Born too beguiled (DavidM), Wednesday, 7 July 2010 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link

jj check email
well noms will take 2-3 weeks then another 3 weeks for voting so we can take nominations tonight and you wont need to do anything for at least 6 weeks! So if you give the ok, we can start a nominations thread tonight!

shitloads of rap
i can't really see there being more than 10, maybe 15 rap albums on this list

Dan this album is tailor-made for you, I'd advise you to at least check out the music (obv. their name is ridic!).

Animal Collective, think that's the first of my votes in. Totally don't get the appeal of '00s Belle & Sebastian, the shinier production doesn't suit them at all and Murdoch's voice is far too weak to pull of the punchier songs they started writing.
