yeah sung tongs is the one people should listen to but hollindagain is my favourite
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link
i liked sung tongs except for that 10+ minutes of tuneless strumming in the middle

Quik & Kurupt is a smiley fun time summer album everyone should rock.
Feels gets kinda dull halfway thru.
J0hn makes killer music but Heretic Pride is his best 05-09 imo. San Bernadino slays me dead dead dead.

yeah probably my biggest beef w/ this list is that when it DOES throw in an indie/rock/art record, it's freakin' Animal Collective or Dirty Projectors :|
by my count roughly half of the 60 albums so far are indie/rock/art records by any reasonable definition of those terms.

I looked at the ballot I forgot to send in (oops) and Heretic Pride was my highest-rated MG album; The Life of the World To Come was #2 and The Sunset Tree was #3

Shit, I should listen to The Drift again. Even though Tilt was awesome in every respect, I just couldn't crack The Drift at all.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:25 (thirteen years ago) link
aw I was hoping for higher with The Drift, but then it is pretty definitively Not For Everyone.

haven't even thought about The Drift in a long time
i guess my general feeling toward stuff like that is curiosity and appreciation but not enthusiasm

The Drift!!
Didn't vote for it (need to hear the whole thing for a start) but Clara is 12 minutes of godliness

re:Broadcast -- "Black Cat" was in the tracks top 100 for a long, long time, only to get shoved out of contention during the last few days.

wow i didn't know people still rated broadcast
i've never heard it, finally another thing to check out
― ciderpress, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
their best album, imo
― hobbes, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Tender Buttons is fun :D Dunno if it is 36th best but I'm glad I bought it on a whim. I Found The F puts a gigantic robotic smile on my face when I hear it.
― fuque santa cruz (a hoy hoy), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Never really got Broadcast - there always seemed to be something missing - or at least, the songs were delicate but largely substanceless, reaching for profundity through understating tweeness
mind you, Tender Buttons might be way better than Ha Ha Sound so I won't judge it...yet
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link
no way - i admire the drift a lot but rarely in the sense of actually wanting to listen to it (unlike tilt, which is gorgeous)
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
tho i'm pleased to see it place and will prob relisten to it soon!
agree with lj on broadcast, always seemed so slight
― call all destroyer, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
in a way, having the mp3 of Clara sent to me (in 2006) independently of the album kinda killed The Drift for me - it's so monolithic and wondrous that I find it hard imagining the rest of the album to be as good, although I ought to give it all a go at some point
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Sometimes I think I prefer The Drift actually. It's just so dark. It makes Tilt seem like a bubblegum record.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link
i only really like the drift lyrically, i think it sounds really self-important. but tilt is deranged andrew lloyd webber fed through bataille's typewriter or something. Then again, I heard tilt at a time when i was way more receptive to scott walker than i was when i heard the drift.
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link
iirc when i listened to the drift it felt like i was listening to a soundtrack, not an album, ie i felt like there was a piece missing somewhere. did he do videos for any of the songs?
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
this is basically how i felt about them b4 tender buttons. i love the noisy blown-speaker sound of it all. and that massive rip roaring guitar on "america's boy", etc.

(I was also sent Cue, which is very good if not fully great...it's like, OK I've heard the long songs and they rock...why can't all of The Drift be 12-minute expositions on love, hate, Mussolini, freedom, fascism and mercy)
Tilt I have listened through to - and goddamn is that record terrifying (and brilliant) - close call as to which is darker
OH LOL

Another two for me with Scott Walker and Broadcast, ha ha. It seems I have more in common with ilx hivemind than I thought.
While I have much love for Tilt I have grown to think The Drift is its equal.
And although I voted for Tender Buttons my favourite Broadcast record is still far and away Work and Non-Work.
