ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

there's a particular dead-eyed sleaze stomp to "Gimme More" that I find transcendent that nothing else I've heard off of the album has lived up to

i remember being underwhelmed by "gimme more" when it first emerged but i love it now, it's so sleazy and drugged-out. one of the first additions to my stripper in my mind itunes playlist iirc.

ok seriously you guys

ugh @ sufjan stevens placing above t.i. and britney

repeat for most of the albums to come, i guess :(

Blackout is fine but "seminal" is like the opposite of what it is

xpost sufjan stevens oh god no. no. noooooooo

"radar" is my true jam off blackout

in all honesty I couldn't make it past 15 seconds into "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)" before I turned it off so it may get awesome but it didn't grab me initially

xp: yea Lex, it's that sleaze mixed in with the robotic stomp that gets to me

King and BlaQKout have doubled the number of albums I voted for in the list today, so I'm not mad.

GN(IGAP) is REALLY good! :D

Get Naked (I Got A Vacuum)

another 2005 album, along with Separation Sunday and Bloc Party, that I loved back then and never listen to. Don't have any antipathy for him though.

"it's britney, bitch"

^^unparalleled way to open an album

Sufjan can go sit on a tack

do you guys think that britney really had a plan or do you think that right when she was gonna get naked she realized that she didn't have plan after all

i love the lyrics on gimme more, the way the papps are photographing her, shes dancing in the club, their doing it in the back of a limo. there's this weird sameness, where everything is a display and a performance and the arousal is all abt exhibitionism, like the walls keep falling away between the different parts of her life, its an exact reflection of how we thought of britney when this came out, when she was literally everywhere in the news.

illinois is nice enough but michigan was his Great Album imo..has a very quiet, powerful sincerity to it that the more recent stuff lacks

you do have a knack for treating something really boring and unremarkable like the most amazing thing in the world

^^^I am listening to this song atm and appreciate this post xps to T

i get the impression that britney's planning circa blackout was limited to the very short term, like the next 5 minutes

lol some dude otm

I mean, yeah, Kele is black and all, but...

No -- he's gay.

Yes, Ys. Silent Alarm is solid.

Blackout was in my Stylus ballot for top ten of the deacade. "Heaven and Earth" = best album track.

Who are the people that still give half a shit about Sufjan Stevens' theme albums so far removed from their actual release dates? I want to know you by name.

Britney Spears eh?

still nothing in this list that pisses me off more than Hold Steady, the ultimate hipster runoff scarequotes band. heeeeey guys we're a 'bar band,' we're writing songs about 'the kids,' check out our 'riffs'!

seminal, lolololol

you do have a knack for treating something really boring and unremarkable like the most amazing thing in the world

should be directed to all sufjan fans

Imagine if Britney Spears and Sufjan Stevens had a baby

still nothing in this list that pisses me off more than Hold Steady, the ultimate hipster runoff scarequotes band. heeeeey guys we're a 'bar band,' we're writing songs about 'the kids,' check out our 'riffs'!

oh that must explain their appeal.

what if I hate both Sufjan AND Britney

xp

Sufjan Spears

i voted for sufjan stevens

I think I've only heard Blackout start-to-finish once, will listen again though. Sufjan isn't really for me.

That just makes me think of that scene on The Office when Michael drives up to the camera and takes his shades of and says "It's Britney bitch" but it's obviously Lady GaGa playing on his stereo. Anyway yeah, perfect start to the album.

I remember Gimme More coming out and the sleazy low budget video that came with it I just thought I bet in a few years she'll have no memory of it coming out.

OK, wasn't expecting that.

another one which should be a lot higher!!!!

been returning to aerial a lot recently for some reason. i think it might actually be her best album. it's so immersive.

Kate Bush! XD

I get the impression that britney's planning circa blackout was limited to her management team

that is a seriously high average vote

so I should listen to Aerial huh

sem·i·nal   [sem-uh-nl]
–adjective
1.
pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen.

That just means Britney Spears is spunky imo!

There's some amazing moments on Aerial but the first disc is just too weak for me, although Coral Room is incredible.

kate bush album cover is so unbelievably boring

Didn't vote for Aerial, I do think it's great though. I honestly had no idea it was still so well-liked.

lol I just now realized what the design on the cover of the Kate Bush album is (not that I ever looked to closely at it before).

"Coral Room" is beautiful. So is "Joanni," which makes me wish more musicians recorded on Fairlights.

I wonder what song/sound is represented. xp
