ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

actually i kind of like 15 step also...

those are some weird motherfuckin fishes

fishes?

Although I don't care for the album, its tour was the best show of theirs I've seen; they were actually a lot of fun.

yeah weirdly (I've said this about a bazillion times) the individual songs on it are great but altogether as an album it verges on Pablo Honey levels of don't-give-a-shit for me

Only 7 more before it's all over. ;_;

yeah HI DERE otm...

Easily the Radiohead album I'm most likely to listen to these days.

LOL

recently heard 15 step as a ~45 yr old's ringtone

it's probably more endearingly awesome than wonkheadedly batshit that ILM has such a vociferous The-Dream street-team - altho I've only heard one The-Dream song I've REALLY liked ('Fancy') - plz someone suggest 2 or 3 others I might like based on this fact

has anyone done a cover connection post between love vs money and fever ray?

LJ, try "love vs money part 1" and "love vs money part 2"

really thought the two dream albums placement wouldve been reversed. voted for both but love/hate was #1

cool lex, on it as soon as I stop listening to lindstrom ^_^

really wanted this gif to somehow be the official LvM cover

Had both in my ballot but this one was a fair bit higher. Looking at the Love King thread opinion seems pretty evenly split on which is better.

btw this top 40 has despite the odd clunker completely justified this poll...so far

the deep pink hue of the original cover is so perfect

has anyone done a cover connection post between love vs money and fever ray?

6. FEVER RAY Fever Ray (2009) [661.5 points, 29 votes]

lol I was SO hoping that would be the next album

it's fucking incredible

low placement shocka! tht this was a lock for the top 3. great record, even if I didn't quite vote for it

Did Charles Burns do the Fever Ray cover?

he did.

also if Dan had voted etc etc

Wow, that makes a six-album run of things I voted for. Loving this Top 20 so far.

This was #4 on my ballot, so depending on what the point totals for the next few are it may be totally my fault that this missed the top 3 ;_;

I could easily have given this anywhere between one and ten points btw

there's actually a 100 point jump between this and the next album

hahaha

wait, how many pts per album were we allowed to allocate? My alternate numberings might be completely offf

still can't decide if i like fever ray or the knife better

"now's the only time i know" might be my favorite track even though it seems like one of the least talked-about ones.

either 20.5 or on a sliding scale from 40-1

xp 40 for 1st, 39 for 2nd, etc...

"i'm not done", every time - stunning, stunning, jaw-dropping piece of music. "seven" not far behind. the rest not far behind that.

Charles Burns + Fever Ray is so perfect I'm almost surprised it actually happened...if that makes any sense.

okay I was doing it right

kinda sad I couldn't have bumped this higher, because it's awesome; "Dry and Dusty" 4eva

i find the fever ray cover kind of hideous actually.

Charles Burns + Fever Ray is so perfect I'm almost surprised it actually happened...if that makes any sense.

otm - this album's aesthetic, not just design-wise, but its concept and its whole feel is possibly even more awesome than the music

Did Charles Burns do the Fever Ray cover?

I believe it was ILX poster max.

Martin Ander did the FR album cover

ROAD RUNNA ROAD RUNNA

charles burns didnt do the artwork for fever ray iirc, was just some dude copying his style xpost

somalia angola ghana ghana ghana
