It is fuller sounding but also stodgier.

What I've heard so far:
Elder - good stuff. Thought I had voted for it but I guess not.
The National - I like their albums up to High Violet included. I found what they release after that one to be super boring and this one is no exception.
The Weather Station - Gave up after a few tracks that left no impression whatsoever.
Will try to sample everything else later tonight.

I had Utopia in my top ten, it's a gorgeous record and a nice next step after Vulnicura. To be honest though I think Volta is the only time I've felt let down by a Björk album.

Here's one I've actually heard, my number 2 and in a roughly similar position to the artist's placer in the tracks poll

It's really different, but I like it for the same reasons I like old Ulrich Schnauss. It's large scale and cozy at the same time.

didn't listen to this until the results came in and its a very cool record, i like it

yeah, I also didn't listen to this until it placed in the tracks poll. Enjoyed it quite a bit.
Other than this, L'Rain (which I voted for) and the Italian Dreamhouse compilation (listening to this right now, incredible) I've been a bit disappointed by the results so far.

i gave this a whirl after seeing it on some year-end lists and fell in love with it
there def should be more saxophone metal in general

if sund4r had told us about this then it could have been a wee bit higher

I like the Ex Eye and Elder records. Both narrowly missed my final ballot but such is life.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 29 January 2018 19:01 (six years ago) link
the opening track has some faint RFTC vibes imo

Lol sund4r did tell you guys about Ex Eye! re: Odysseus & Michael B
Elder narrowly missed my ballot, orob should've made it (as should've L'Rain). Ex Eye was my #11.

oh and if you need any more persuasion to hear it, Ex Eye's drummer is Greg Fox, a man operating at barely-precedented levels

i'm pretty wary about alerting you to any kind of "tornado" with you being in the midwest, that's my excuse

waaaay too low. but then I could have put it higher than 20th on my ballot I guess. bangers all the way down. even the EODM songs
― imago, Monday, 29 January 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link
long, distracted, kinda poorly-paced but still, y'know, consistent and great record that didn't quite make my ballot. one of the eodm songs is my current favorite kesha song (let 'em talk)

I recently woke up with Boogie Feet in my head lol
― imago, Monday, 29 January 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
Anyway, the ballads are amazing. Title track and Spaceship p much did for me. Brilliant schmaltz
― imago, Monday, 29 January 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link
all the country-ish songs are great. as i said in another thread it's like three albums at once
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 29 January 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link
Kesha is best. This was a phenomenal comeback and wildly eclectic despite its consistency. Her energy is my favourite thing in pop and her whole frenetic dance-death cult aesthetic is wonderful. So difficult to even pick a favourite, but I love Boogie Feet this month.
