i am getting more and more apprehensive about you eventually posting your ballot

I can't think of a better pair of closing tracks right now than Nocturn and Aerial

i can't believe anyone has complained about any album cover ever in history in a thread with the Hold Steady album in it.

lol alex -- it has its fair share of canonical indie rock albums

just thinking about the depth and breadth of kate bush's artistry makes me smh so much at dirty projectors placing above her, next to kate they literally come off like six-year-olds messing around

Hm. Will Justified appear?
i've made my peace w/that album and basically like it but it's soooooo ridiculously overrated
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
In hindsight Justified is clearly the better album. But there are some real bangers on Futuresex, still.

shipley's new DN is confusing the hell out of me, its like when i saw a photo of someone who looked just like me kissing some guy on a friends FB and I was like "when the fuck did that happen?"

― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Justified came out 2+ years too early for this poll, but is way better than his other album
― plax r (some dude), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
fyi there are posters named "max" and "max r"
"My Love" is awesome

The interludes, "Losing My Way," and the bleh will.i.am collab keep this at a very solid B+ for me, but I'm always tempted to overrate it because Justin sounds so damn cocky: he's found a sound to match his slightly dorky charm.

Influential too: I swear bits of the new Scissor Sisters sound like FS/LS.

i should listen to it again -- prob haven't in 3 years -- i didn't vote it but it's pretty good i think
― hoos gossage (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
I thought Fishscale would be a top ten contender.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I sort of thought Aerial would be a lock for the Top 10, people who liked it, myself included, seemed to really love it. The second disc is just this amazing slow build, it's such a good spring album.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Fishscale is Ghost's best of the last 5 years

― gordon lishification (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:33 (fourteen years ago) link
am still listening to Aerial fwiw - yeah it ain't bad at all, although that Britney song is possibly the best thing I've heard of today's offerings
― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:33 (fourteen years ago) link
at this point i have 4 albums in the list, 2 more that i know will make it, and at most 3 more that have even the slightest possibility of placing this high :/
― plax r (some dude), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah Fishscale is great, really need to revisit it.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:34 (fourteen years ago) link
LJ don't give up on Aerial until you've heard the second half, it knocks the (pretty great) first half into a cocked hat.
― Matt DC, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:35 (fourteen years ago) link
The thing about the Justin album was that it really felt like he was trying to make this huge 1980s style epochal I Am The World's Biggest Pop Star As Of RIGHT NOW album and, enjoyable as it is, he only really got maybe half way there.

(I heard the last 2 tracks of Side 2 which ruled, then started at The Coral Room)
