ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

wait did you vote for the same albums as me or are you commenting on my post

no i voted for 2/4 the same albums (see like ten posts upthread) just thought it was looool that so far your list looks so much like mine

would have voted for if i'd known how amazing it is: Roisin Murphy - Overpowered (gotdamn "Let Me Know" is sooooo good)

haha yeah i was jammin "let me know" all weekend

i revisited the roisin too -- movie star is sooo good imo

I still maintain that Human After All is one of the '00s best albums and an absolute monstrous beast of insanely great tracks. It's their best album. Homework is the blueprint; Discovery is the fun side project; Human After All is the masterpiece.

sorry but LOL

re: roisin 'footprints' came up on shuffle the other day, song is super dope

I feel out of ILM because I excitedly went and listened to these Roisin Murphy tracks and, I dunno, expected more. "Let Me Know" sounded good but I found myself wanting to listen to old Black Box records instead. And "Overpowered" I thought was corny (e.g. when she sings "BRAIN" followed by echoing "brain..... brain....") and I was distracted by the costume from "One Night In Bangkok" she wore for the video. I mean, I know I am wrong! I'm just feeling bad about the fact that I don't know how to do the hard work necessary to listen to these songs and hear what they're doing.

'let me know' sounds not at all like black box

that said i do think the order of this list is super wacky sometimes, some really really average records leapfrogging ahead of great ones, but lol consensus i guess

Is the ultimate white people fitting in album "Fishcale"?

That's what you said in the "Amistad" case.

Is the ultimate white people fitting in album "Fishcale"?

lol. could just as well apply to hhnf.

it's def HHNF, white people have been jocking wu for decades now

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'!

this post is so out of character

so bummed i work evenings this week and missed all the fun

thought it was pretty funny when MPP placed and no one acknowledged it

hold steady arguments tired us out

Lol @ JQ Adams joke.

most of those who voted for it wont post about it because of the abuse they perceive they will get.

xps

The only reason I joined ILX was to abuse MPP fans. And to vote in Jordan's New York Knicks poll last winter.

pretty much gave up hope on gaslight anthem after day 2 - we needed hoos

^_^ @ deej's return of course

You're right. I've taken JQAdams as far as it will go.

do not not not not get taylor swift - this is coming from someone who was digging britney spears earlier

LJ this is retarded, there is literally nothing in common between the music of britney spears and taylor swift

I mean, serious kudos to you for liking her nondescript album; you were much happier during that period when she was inescapable on pop radio than I was! Congrats, you win good times and all I get is impotent frustration that everyone and their mom is going bananas for something I find offensively boring performed by someone with the singing talent of a bottle of Toulet Duck! You're coming out on top here, not me; pointing out that the emperor is naked doesn't save you from seeing his backfat.

where's that deej gif

do not not not not get clipse - this is coming from someone who was digging young jeezy earlier

my point entirely - you can do bubblegum pop in remarkably different ways

but yeah that was pretty retarded :(

still rong, and omg what time is it go to bed!

look we almost got Hissing Fauna into the top 20, pax imo

yes hi-5 for that - skeletal lamping wasn't that much further down on my list either

Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? was my number 1.

the past is a grotesque animal > second half of skeletal lamping > rest of hissing fauna = nonpareil of favor, touched something's hollow, an eluardian instance >>>>>>> rest of skeletal lamping

imo

the stuff from the new record sounds dope

I think Sir Luscious Left Foot is fast taking up Fishscale's mantle.

haha

looking back, i can't imagine why i didn't spare room for gaga, justin timberlake, t.i. and at least a couple others. too busy wasting points on agalloch & the oh sees...

hhnf vitriol is weird to me--it is overrated and there are some forgettable tracks but 1-5 on it are killer for both beats and rapping. tbh wamp wamp might be my favorite beat ever so to hear ppl say it has no good beats seems like overstating the case imo.

i mean the back end of fishscale kinda sucks too

most annoying thread of 2010

quite an achievement

what CAD said. agree that HHNF is uneven, but the best tracks are good enough to make me like the album as a whole: wamp wamp, trill, mr. me too, keys open doors.

otoh, i'm kinda biased in favor of the clipse, and yeah, maybe that makes me overrate them.

u like crit-rap & girltalk

im not saying im just saying

wait i am saying!!

and i do. [shrug]
