ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

At least with Joanna there's something interesting going on

Joanna NEWSOM? I do beg to differ, sir.

way i figure, xx should be down in the 20s & 30s where most of the other albums I voted for are.

xxxp check out Crystallised and Islands, esp. the video for the latter one

re: Donuts it's the equivalent of priveleging the Pet Sounds Instrumental box set version over the actual album with vocals. Just... why?

West Coast I heard a couple years ago after the raving in the ILM thread and it just seemed very innocuous and inconspicuous to me. It's nice enough in the Eno aural wallpaper sense but nothing impressed me about the arrangements or playing or hooks or anything. it was like a competently designed but uninspiring piece of furniture, it just sits there.

thread moving too fast

xp

man if I'd voted you all would REALLY be htaing on XX placement

#1 album of the last half century?

the xx I've heard has been fine but not really engaging enough for me to want to hear the whole album. too chilly and goth-y or something. can just listen to the Young Marble Giants if I'm in that particular mood.

xx hate otm

just sounds like some crappy local band to me

man if I'd voted you all would REALLY be htaing on XX placement

okay lol

wow

never got into electrik red

too low? too high?

I have nothing against Electrik Red and have enjoyed the 2-3 songs of theirs I've heard, but still: lol

ELEKTRIK RED!
ELEKTRIK RED!
ELEKTRIK RED!
ELEKTRIK RED!
ELEKTRIK RED!

damnit I misspelled one of my fave albums

Presumed Top 10, then:

Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Pt. 1 (Fourth World War)
Burial - Untrue
The-Dream - Love Vs. Money
Fever Ray - s/t
The Knife - Silent Shout
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
MIA - Kala
Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Portishead - Third
Radiohead - In Rainbows

Don't fuck us, voters
We fuck you.

electrik red <3 <3 <3

pity it wasn't quite top 10 but still: look at who they beat!

so XX would have beaten Electrik Red had I voted

TOP TEN IS HERE! TOP TEN IS HERE!

Electrik Red? Who the fuck is that? is this some euro/britishes thing?

haha alfred

man i hope erykah badu gets top 5 (only reason i'm still reading this tbh)

by rights, given their respective profiles and critical response, electrik red have no business running anything in this top 20 close at all, so the fact that they beat them is especially pleasing and hilarious

I guess I should finally listen to Electrik Red, huh? Literally the only places I've ever seen them mentioned are ILM and Singles Jukebox.

HTBAL is a CLASSIC album. It MEANS something and it's UNIQUE and occupies a place of its OWN in the genre in addition to being so much FUN and so PRETTY.

I really can't believe people are THAT into In Rainbows, like I feel like it's actually all an elaborate hoax, because I don't see how you could enjoy that album after what they did during the rest of the decade

(I know the actual answer is that everyone but me hated what they did for the rest of the decade but I still think they're wrong and that the biggest sin of In Rainbows isn't even the regressive nature of the songwriting as much as it is the sudden total inability to sequence the album.)

ER album is cool, lots of good catchy songs that i really love and a few songs that i find obnoxious.

is person pitch really liked more than the anco albums? enough to make top 10?

no

yes

person pitch is sooo not top ten worthy imo but it's such a popular album that I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in the top ten

i still haven't figured out why they collectively seduce thom yorke in the "friend lover" video

10. PANDA BEAR Person Pitch (2007) [576 points, 21 votes, 1 first place vote]

I'd use that as a screen name.

wow lex that is some silly-ass garbage. like, sub-Appollonia 6 level.

fuck outta here shakey

they're pretty much the vanity 6 de nos jours

which is clearly an AMAZING THING

One of my best bros sold Person Pitch on Amazon four days after buying it.

But it and the Fall Be Kind EP are the only tolerable things these guys have recorded.

no comment

What if this album had started with "It's Panda Bear, bitch."?

not a huge fan...don't understand why ppl rep so hard for this and hate MPP...(unless they're diff people???)

xp lol

didn't vote for it, but support its placement
