ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

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

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 :/

Yeah Fishscale is great, really need to revisit it.

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.

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.

+ crazy visions of how to do clarks now son

will post my Kate Bush comment in a second, after crossing myself repeatedly

i never heard fishscale. i probably should.

ugh the MPP cover is even uglier than blackout, and at least britney had an excuse

dat deus merriwentum

ok...literally at this very moment, An Architect's Dream is making me rapidly reconsider that prior statement

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

(that prior statement being Get Naked = best song I've heard today)

haha fitting

get naked (an architect's dream)

:D

okay wait, what the hell is going to be in the top 10 (besides Portishead and Erykah Badu and The Knife)?

i'm pretty sure another 10 of my votes will show, tho there are a couple more i have no idea about that i'll be super-stoked if they do place

arctic monkeys, coldplay

fever ray will beat the knife imo

Am feeling v good about this poll now - today it's turned me onto a lot of really, really good stuff I should have gotten around to but didn't - which is probably its best purpose

Late Registration and M.I.A. and LCD Soundsystem prolly (xpost)

so when this is done, can we retally the votes with my ballot for fun and see if it would have changed anything?

oh right, forgot about both MIA albums (although probably Arular over Kala sadly) and Sound of Silver

you AND tiarnan imo

2 x terius albums + electrik red still to come, too

not to mention the Julian Casablancas solo joint.

holy shit guitar entry on Sunset = ^___________^

Also In Rainbows.

btw are we done with the animal collectors now or do they have any more albums i should mentally prepare myself for...

v curious to see how high Studio places

they r dun lex

holy shit guitar entry on Sunset = ^___________^

:D

it's basically ^___________^ from here to the end of the album

really starting to hold hope for erykah to place ridiculously high

oh god yeah Studio and Lindstrom (two albums I most CERTAINLY voted for) will do damn well

And Paavoharju of course.

LJ livebloggin Aerial warms my heart

(if I keep repeating it it has to happen, right?)

23. OF MONTREAL Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (2007) [428 points, 18 votes, 2 first place votes]

has panda bear placed?

"btw are we done with the animal collectors now or do they have any more albums i should mentally prepare myself for..."

we haven't seen Person Pitch yet, right? my feeling is that many like that who don't even like AnCo that much (me included actually)

xp

me as well, altho i didn't vote for it

well I already know the last two tracks are mega-^________^ but there's Somewhere In Between to negotiate first, and guess what it's started very promisingly

oooh good lord those strings just leapt into a higher register and kinda gave me a shiver

YEAH AN ALBUM I ACTUALLY VOTED FOR XDDDDD sorry folks but Of Montreal are really good!

I have pointedly ignored that record because of the title.

hissing fauna is another one that i think is great that i didn't vote for i don't think

matt you'll probably hate kevin barnes' voice

I did that for ages but it's actually really sweet although I am guessing a bit hyperactively indie for your tastes Matt

Wait wait wait. Lex, how do you have the stones to call Blaqkout anything the best hip-hop album of the last 5 years if you haven't heard Fishscale? Fishscale! These are the fundamentals.

voted Skeletal Lamping over Hissing Fauna btw but I'm probably alone on that one

okay, if I'd voted, Battles would have pushed just ahead of Young Jeezy and Ellen Allien/Apparat would have been right behind TV on the Radio
