ILM Top 100 2005-2009: ALBUMS

well i'm gonna post #2 & #1 in the same post, for obv reasons

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

!!! that is bonkers. what a shameless rip.

that doesnt leave room for the joke #1 entries then...

or it leaves room for two joke entries

Guys come on, "Kid A" will win again, it always does

... OH, WAIT ...

"North American Scum" and "Get Innocuous" are terrific too.

haha wait

I just looked at my ballot again and it's all fucked up because Silent Shout isn't on it

1. Ashlee Simpson - Autobiography (600000 points, 23)

http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/0/73/Album_ashlee_simpson_autobiography.0.0.0x0.475x475.jpeg

goodbye Crystal Castles, I felt kind of uncomfortable having you on my ballot anyone because according to all reports circa your first album, you were thieving cocks

3. THE KNIFE Silent Shout (2006) [915 points, 33 votes, 1 first place vote]

trees, there will be
apples, fruits maybe

what is the points difference between #2 & #1?

Points/vote for the Knife are ridic, I guess that means everyone who voted for it put it in their top ten.

the one thing i'm genuinely kicking myself for is not nominating/voting for ashlee's i am me (autobiography is amazing but 2004)

xp C'MON ERYKAH

voted silent shout but not fever ray; in the event that turned out to be a no-brainer

xp it was my no 23!

a cracked smile and a silent shout

I was pretty much in love with that album from the first three notes of "Silent Shout" but the long soaring intro of "The Captain" blew me away and by the time I hit "Marble House" I had a new favorite band. Every song on here is at least great; most are amazing.

the points per vote average for silent shout is actually only 27, so just outside the top 10

glad silent show defeated fever ray tbh

also it is the PERFECT soundtrack to WipeoutHD

While we wait for the results, lets watch an ILXOR at work

which ilxor is this in 10/20 years time?

LOL @ Silent Show...reminds me of "Animal Collection"...

this list makes me feel deeply alienated

would rank them T,IAY > Fever Ray > Silent Shout > the others but then I am a certified baboon. I'm also going out now, but great top 2! Backing Portishead but either a worthy winner. Special shout-out to 'Twinkle' which someone shd have nommed in the trax poll

does anyone else feel like they absolutely can't listen to silent shout or fever ray in the summertime? like i can't even think about them (goes without saying that the reverse is true in the winter)

third is being v. slightly overrated

i had to wear a mask

does anyone else feel like they absolutely can't listen to silent shout or fever ray in the summertime?

Yes -- for which reason, I appreciate having Deep Cuts around as well.

I belatedly came around to Fever Ray but as a gay man I feel l don't need to pay attention to the kohl-eyed moaning of a nuevo Goth girl (the beats on the Portishead album were thicker and more attractive).

i can totally listen to silent shout in the summer though there's plenty of seasonal music for me

Love KALA to death, but I'm with Rev on this one. The ideas might be bigger and broader and more engaged on KALA, but ARULAR bangs so much harder, front to back. I like to think about KALA, but I love listening to ARULAR.

Posting on this thread is fucking DIFFICULT.

Yes although today doesn't count because it's currently chucking it down and grey.

Refreshing every 1 minute waiting for a WINNAR.

xp: I have no winter association with either Fever Ray or Silent Shout

btw I am kind of obsessed with 1:15 of that routine

i think i agree that silent shout is being overrated a bit itt. i mean it sounds great and all, but i found myself growing a bit bored of it, and haven't listened to it in some time. every time i hear it again i enjoy it, though; same thing holds true for fever ray.

okay is everyone ready??

trentemøller remix of "we share our mothers' health" is so u&k. pitch-shifting vox! <3

also this has nothing to do w/silent shout but it inexplicably failed to place on the trax poll and it has karin dreijer andersson singing on it and it bangs

do it!!!

BRING IT

The Knife - cold and icy, like my heart

Love KALA to death, but I'm with Rev on this one. The ideas might be bigger and broader and more engaged on KALA, but ARULAR bangs so much harder, front to back. I like to think about KALA, but I love listening to ARULAR.

I think this is 100% wrong, especially in light of how anemic "Bucky Done Gun" actually is and the eternally sopophoric "Bingo" that doesn't even have aimless mood painting to use as an excuse (yes that was about "The Turn")

Calling Erykah as winnar with 4 first-place votes. Can't see Portishead garnering the #1 marks to make it happen.

2. PORTISHEAD Third (2008) [967 points, 40 votes, 1 first place vote]

1. ERYKAH BADU New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) [1,029.5 points, 36 votes, 4 first place votes]
