ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

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

Vitalic would have just beat out Strawberry Jam

(you guys, I'm so sorry)

Britney Spears still wouldn't have shown up if I had

Robyn would have beaten Girl Talk

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.

i called king the best hip-hop album of the past etc etc, i'm not really a huge ghostface fan. i only have the pretty toney album of his solo stuff and it's, um, ok, i guess.

Of Montreal album title sounds like fridge magnet poetry

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

the cover is the worst thing about MPP, it's really inexplicable.

what's Britney's excuse?

Sunset Tree over Gang Gang Dance

E-40's put out like 3 albums better than King in the last 5 years, and two of those were this year!

x-post

Britney was too busy doing drugs, shaving her head and going crazy to care about trifling matters like album covers.

dan, i woulda put gang gang dance back above it though

britney's excuse was that she was busy shaving her head, being on drugs/crazy and getting sectioned at the time, and i guess her label couldn't really be bothered with the artwork.

lol xp

lol at all this OJ Simpsoning

22. CLIPSE Hell Hath No Fury (2006) [441.5 points, 18 votes]

http://potholesinmyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/clipse-hell-hath-no-fury.jpg

ok i've heard the two e-40 albums from this year and neither of them are remotely close to king

haha where are all the clipse votes coming from fess up

i think we can all agree that the overrated-ass clipse album is certainly not the best hip-hop album of the half-decade tho smh smh

(still have a lot of time for "trill" tho)

fucking hate u clipse stans but remember upthread when people said it wasn't even gonna place? i so called it.

HHNF was definitely one of my most disappointing albums of the decade

1. "FutureSex/LoveSound"
2. "SexyBack" (featuring Timbaland)
3. "Sexy Ladies/Let Me Talk to You (Prelude)"
4. "My Love" (featuring T.I.)
5. "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows (Interlude)"
6. "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around (Interlude)"
7. "Chop Me Up" (featuring Three 6 Mafia & Timbaland)
8. "Damn Girl" (featuring will.i.am)
9. "Summer Love/Set the Mood (Prelude)"
10. "Until the End of Time"
11. "Losing My Way"
12. "(Another Song) All Over Again"

Genuinely curious what songs people don't consider classic! I'll go ahead and concede that the lyrics of "Losing My Way" ("Hi my name is bob and I work at my job") are hilariously lame, but the song is classic.

it really is just an obscenely overrated album

fucking hell clipse made it???

haha where are all the clipse votes coming from fess up

Hi!

I think 22. is a pretty suitable placement for this one.

have decided that Nocturn is quasi-balearic fwiw

what rap albums are likely to place above this? tha carter ii and...?

i love the one where the beat has the sound of someone reaching inside a piano and strumming all the strings ("ride around shinin" i think)

Hell Hath No Fury has some classic jams but really it should have had the wheat seperated from HHNF and the mixtapes and put together to make something I'd actually listen to again.

American Gangster soundtrack!!! (j/k) xp to lex

Everything after Chop Me Up is shit, and Sexyback is Barely even a song and has dated so badly. Can't believe people called out Single Ladies for being more a signature than a song but SexyBack is like 20 times worse for that.

i dunno where thats sampled from but its a novel idea

have decided that Nocturn is quasi-balearic fwiw

― RIP la petite mort (acoleuthic)

hah, this has been stated before. on ILX maybe?

or maybe i just thought it to myself... idk

have decided that Nocturn is quasi-balearic fwiw

Nocturne is a cornerstone of nu-Balearic dude. Ewan Pearson started a Balearic mix with it a few years ago. It really does work if you're listening to it while watching the sun go down.

britney's excuse was that she was busy shaving her head, being on drugs/crazy and getting sectioned at the time, and i guess her label couldn't really be bothered with the artwork.

the idea that Britney would otherwise have aluable input into album covers is a little headscratching. like, what would make you think she had anything to do with any of her album covers? This is more a failure of the label and their art department

xp

i hate "SexyBack" and "Summer Love" is annoying and the title track and "Damn Girl" kinda suck and the album shoulda ended with "Until The End Of Time," the last 2 tracks feel like overtime bonus tracks

xpost

huh, didn't know about its use in Ewan Pearson mix xpost

xpost

haha man i dunno, jeez, i listened to it quite a bit, like i voted for whatever the max was, 40 albums and shit, didn't rank them...

i enjoy HHNF, though it's not as good as i got it 4 cheap 1 or 2 or lord willin' but i like it

i had no idea ppl hated it so much. i mean i knew peeps got sick of the pitchfork jocking it and shit but hmmm....but i like it quite a bit

sorry y'all, i just kinda went through the list c&ping albums i liked

what rap albums are likely to place above this? tha carter ii and...?

Dunno if CII is gonna make it now tbrr, but Late Registration hasn't come up yet? I can't think of any other big canon albums and its a bit too high up for a surprise like Beauty & The Beat.
