I knew some of you assholes would vote for Ys. KEEP THAT TO YOURSELVES.

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.

Ys = a very good album by a very good artist that I have come around to having written offFleet Foxes = get to fucking fuck you fucks

The last three records is where I divide from the indie hivemind...never could bring myself to listen to any of them all the way through.

ys is another of those records that i guess i admire but never ever listen to. i can't really seem to muster up either love or hate for j newsom.

This is OTM for me, too. Though I have seen her be brilliant live.

Never really got Broadcast - there always seemed to be something missing
This is almost entirely the point of (at least a good portion of) Broadcast. Sparse, fragile, haunting, spare, delicate to the point of nearly disintegrating at any second. Like a snowflake landing on a blade of grass.
Maybe not on Tender Buttons, but listen to "Echo's Answer" and tell me you don't agree.

the 1 or 2 times i heard ys was "well there's something going on here but it's not worth the pain"
― hobbes, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:51 (fourteen years ago) link
xp i haven't listened to that in years, sound so good right now :D
― hobbes, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i was flipping radio stations the other night in my car and i landed on the opening verse of "Emily" and was a bit startled
i listened to the whole song though and i think it's held up fine...not sure about the rest of Ys though, "Emily" was my favorite track by far even when i was digging on it

I kind of want to hate Gang Gang Dance, but this is pretty good. Didn't make my list, though.
― emil.y, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
awesome. they put on a hell of a live show too

Ys is just great. Perfect, even.
― abcfsk, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Very good album, Saint Dymphna. And yeah, I kinda wanted to hate them too but it really is good!
That Broadcast song was nice, although if anything it was too busy to be spare, too minimal to be intricate...it was nice but there were a few too many compromises going on. Maybe I need to listen to them more to get the hang of it! Maybe I need to think of it as pop music for insomniacs. Whatever it is, I'll listen to Tender Buttons.
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link
will never forgive ILM for making me listen to Gang Gang Dance. terrible album.
much love for Tender Buttons tho.

hahaha turns out I DIDN'T vote for Saint Dymphna...would have been in the next 2 or 3 places
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I probably should have voted for Gang Gang instead of some of the stuff on the lower reaches of my ballot, actually. It's just the trendy hipster thing that puts me off.
― emil.y, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
holy shit Louis how did you do this. Being a corny fuxxor I like most of these albums a lot, but I'm SBing you for crimes against diversity anyway.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
dymphna is an album w/ a really weird mixture of fans
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
It's just the trendy hipster thing that puts me off.
it's the "not being able to maintain a steady rhythm" thing that puts me off, personally.
― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
like if yr making dance music the one thing you need is a constant tempo, none of this sloppily dropping the beat every 15 bars or whatever. hate this band.
re: hipster thing, I think that may have been what subconsciously swayed me towards Opeth for my 40th slot :/ either that or the fact that Watershed is p good and SD has a coupla weaker moments (more than made up for by, say, Princes, House Jam, the last two tracks etc)
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
man, just listening to saint dymphna, it's such an unstoppable force of an album - feels like it could soundtrack a mini action movie. to make the art-rock comparison that some did at the time, animal collective just sound so puny and weak and cheap in comparison to GGD's total mastery of everything they try.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
you can totally dance to house jam
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah calling saint dymphna a dance record is kinda missing the point
― call all destroyer, Monday, 12 July 2010 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link
The reason I thought I voted SD was that I'd voted House Jam in the trax poll - great tune
