ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

Hip-hop, misogynist or not, is basically guys being guys

Explains why I hate most of it.

I think lex's point is that he likes musicians who act their age. Hip-hop, misogynist or not, is basically guys being guys; teenpop works because it's teenagers being teenagers; whereas twee/hippie stuff can be repulsive because it often consists of grown adults acting like toddlers w/r/t cutesy aesthetic themes, lyrics, sounds, unhealthy obsession with childhood reminiscing and whatnot.

holy fucking shit @ this post

Massive fucking rolleyes at this latest turn in the conversation.

Twee + misogynist hip-hop... lovely.

i smell an unexplored genre crossover...

lol i just noticed that sarge was posting at 4:30 in the morning est

A lot of the misogyny in pop (or rap or rock) is pretty immature stuff if you ask me but yeah I can see why people take particular issue with the twee/back-to-childhood aesthetic - I'm no fan of it myself but that's mainly 'cos I find it annoying rather than questionable (though I'm not saying it isn't questionable, it's just that it's annoying first and foremost) - it's that whole nursery rhyme side of Syd Barrett-type teapot psychedelia which I've never really cared for. That said, it doesn't bother me so much with Animal Collective, even though it's obviously a part of their 'thing' (I guess it's most prevalent on Feels, which I don't like so much though maybe I should save all this on the off chance it turns up later in the list).

Loads of songs about how you smoked weed at a picnic on Primrose Hill and then went back and fucked three hoes all night and then you got up and all ate a breakfast cereal with a picture of a panda on the box.

I find it annoying rather than questionable (though I'm not saying it isn't questionable, it's just that it's annoying first and foremost)

Guys being guys is supposed to be a good thing I reckon?

I didn't say it was a good thing, I just pointed out it doesn't push the same buttons as adults acting like toddlers. And that's why it's not contradictory for lex to love one aesthetic and despise the other.

80. LOW Drums and Guns (2007) [209.5 points, 9 votes, 1 first place vote]
http://betterpropaganda.com/images/artwork/Drums_and_Guns-Low_480.jpg

get low, get low

And lo there was Low

too LOW

I kept meaning to check that one out and never got round to it. I basically like almost everything they've done so I should probably give this one a spin.

if i'd have voted that would've been my #1

<3 <3 <3

Love you Low, come back soon.

if i'd have voted ranked my ballot that would've been my #1

Drums & Guns is one (1) decent mastering away from being perfect.

That was my #1. And yeah, way too low for Low. I love other things they've done but this one is just transcendental.

Another ok-ish album I haven't gone back to much. It was an improvement on The Great Destroyer though.

Low is the bomb.

Seriously, this thread got really horrible, ppl need to stop acting like such colossal pussies every time some dumb record they don't like makes the SUPER IMPORTANT ilm albums poll list.

I think lex's point is that he likes musicians who act their age. Hip-hop, misogynist or not, is basically guys being guys; teenpop works because it's teenagers being teenagers; whereas twee/hippie stuff can be repulsive because it often consists of grown adults acting like toddlers w/r/t cutesy aesthetic themes, lyrics, sounds, unhealthy obsession with childhood reminiscing and whatnot.

also, hip hip is like the poster child genre for arrested development! i mean, jesus it's full of like 40 year old dudes trying to act 30 and 35 year old dudes trying to act 25!

like i love hip hop and love tons of really ignorant shit just because it is rad as fuck, but c'mon trying to take some kinda weird moral high ground over twee shit as if it's "unhealthy" or some cod psychology bullshit is reeeeeeeallly fucking reaching.

lex you are a smart guy but you basically become like the glam version of alex in NYC when you talk about any kind of rock music.

I still haven't heard this album!

can we just talk about the albums instead of each other for a change

listen to it then louis.

OK FINE

"glam version of alex in NYC"

such a vision...

For me all of Low's albums seem to blend together into a muddle of 3-star competence. I do pull out the Christmas EP every year though.
