Their last one is also excellent. They need to get more recognition.

Kelly Lee Owens is #12 on http://www.albumoftheyear.org/list/summary/2017/ so hardly overlooked anymore
― niels, Monday, 4 December 2017 10:38 (six years ago) link
I don't know much on the Norman list but what i do know I really like = likely to check out other stuff. Especially seeing Grizzly Bear and James Holden in the top 3, as they're probably my two favourites.

The Quietus know what's up
― imago, Monday, 4 December 2017 11:34 (six years ago) link
I really love that Moonlandingz record too, even if it's probably too silly and too British for 95% of ILX

nice to finally see Algiers show up
― Simon H., Monday, 4 December 2017 14:00 (six years ago) link
the moonlandingz record is ok but i was promised motorik and the first track instead gives you gary glitter. they do eventually do a proper motorik beat but i've heard way too many records like this for this particular record to stand out.

Chino Amobi - Paradiso at #1 in The Wire

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - Feed The Rats
This is the most Quietus thing ever. The Call Super album at #13 is fantastic though.

The Guardian's Top 100 tracks
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 4 December 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
that Chino Amobi album is fantastic!
glad to see M.E.S.H. - Hesaitix show up on the Quietus list
― Dan S, Monday, 4 December 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
Guardian tracks top ten:
1. Lorde – Green Light2. Charli XCX – Boys3. Kendrick Lamar – HUMBLE.4. Selena Gomez – Bad Liar5. Future – Mask Off6. Perfume Genius – Slip Away7. The Horrors – Something to Remember Me By8. Stormzy – Big for Your Boots9. Drake – Passionfruit10. Paramore – Hard Times
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 4 December 2017 16:07 (six years ago) link
It's really sweet how the Guardian still persists in caring about The Horrors after pretty much everyone else lost interest.
― Matt DC, Monday, 4 December 2017 16:09 (six years ago) link
Going through the Quietus list from the bottom up. So far the most arresting discovery has been Re-TROS, who purvey a particularly vivid & mathy Chinese techno-punk
That Horrors song does nil for me
Pigs x7 are peak Quietus sure but I think two of them are also in Richard Dawson's backing band
― imago, Monday, 4 December 2017 16:31 (six years ago) link
I love that Horrors song tbh

quietus generally where i get all my late year finds; excited to explore that

I love the Quietus lists as well. So many things I've not heard of AND good blurbs.

95: Rose Dougall - Stellular
this is great btw
― President Keyes, Monday, 4 December 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
Really excited by the opening track but didn't think it held up after that. Might return to it though
― imago, Monday, 4 December 2017 17:13 (six years ago) link
Bumped another thread for the MHYSA album, which is p interesting too - a bit sad that on another weird r&b tip the Harriet Brown album from their half-year list has vanished

Man the Re-TROS is great! Dance-rock you can turn to when you realise how bori[remainder of post redacted]

I've never heard of Chino Amobi, but it sounds absolutely fantastic, and like the most Wire thing ever.

Is the Tyler album any cop or is it just Wire madness talking?
― Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Monday, 4 December 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link
A lot of people like it. It's no Culture though, that's for sure. Actually, I'm really surprised at how little Migos there are on these lists.
― Frederik B, Monday, 4 December 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
Feels like these lists are pretty short on rap music in general tbh

The Joshua Abrams record is really good.

Keep meaning to hear that Sote record and the Mhysa one too
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 4 December 2017 19:39 (six years ago) link
Sote is good yeah.
That Amobi record had best be great if Wire are to claim a 'know what's up' from me ;)

xpost Fader seem to have lumped Migos in with K*d*k Bl**k & X*XT****C**N, probably not the only ones
― drab daddy (mahica), Monday, 4 December 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
Wait, why? What story am I missing?
― Frederik B, Monday, 4 December 2017 20:35 (six years ago) link
I don't have an answer for you Fred, but I like this detail from their wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migos#2016-2017:_Continued_legal_issues
On July 7, 2017, Takeoff was asked to leave a flight from Atlanta to Des Moines, Iowa, after he reportedly refused to move his bag from the floor to an overhead storage bin prior to takeoff.[53]
― how's life, Monday, 4 December 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
Yeah, they have had a lot of legal issues, but there's some distance from that and to X*XT**etc, I would have thought.
― Frederik B, Monday, 4 December 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link
It's this story: https://pitchfork.com/news/71471-migos-not-cool-with-support-of-ilovemakonnens-homosexuality-thats-wack-bro/
Fader's list did include Slide (the Calvin Harris/Frank Ocean collab) but then the blurb sounds kind of taunting:
It sucks that we had to wait until 2017 to get a disco song about buying Picassos and smoking weed before gay sex, but I’m glad “Slide” is finally here. Calvin Harris managed to pull off three impressive tricks: he turned Migos into disco divas, somehow got Frank Ocean to make a radio-friendly song, and made a ’70s-inspired pop track that sounds completely new.

On July 7, 2017, Takeoff was asked to leave a flight from Atlanta to Des Moines, Iowa, after he reportedly refused to move his bag from the floor to an overhead storage bin prior to takeoff.
how can takeoff do anything at all prior to takeoff? that seems like it would be a physical impossibility.
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:11 (six years ago) link
def surprised by lack of migos (as a group or individuals) on the fader's lists. blue cheese, slippery, motorsport, you said, and no complaints all have a claim for inclusion
