I'm guessing that Manchester Orchestra album is equal parts Radiohead and Dragonforce?

lmao i would listen to this theoretical band but no

i kinda get the "emo" label for MO but i kinda don't. to me, emo generally has strong lineage to punk styles. but MO seems to come more from "modern rock" than punk

MO album is definitely not what you would normally think of when you say "Emo." They have a lot of similarities to Brand New, but they have spacious soundscapes straight outta mid-00's indie. Echoes of things like Brightblack or Shearwater.

Moon and Antarctica era MM definitely came to mind for me.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 15:48 (six years ago) link
I was thinking Shearwater the whole time, but that could just be a cover connection

Maybe Dua Lipa would have gotten a higher slot if I voted this year.

Dunno if I need a whole album of this Wednesday Campanella stuff, but it's perfect for a quick mood booster.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link
my #1! figured if it was going to place it probably would have already so this is a very nice surprise

Great album. I think I heard it because it was high on the RYM list all year.

didn't vote for wednesday campanella but really happy to see them make the top 77, they're so consistently awesome. highly recommend their youtube channel for their music videos and live performances
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:09 (six years ago) link
Holy shit, is this the first time Wednesday Campanella have made it into an EoY poll? I know that there are always a few of us who try to get people to vote for 'em but I'm not sure we've ever been successful before.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:10 (six years ago) link
yeah it's the first time i think
i don't know how they manage to be so consistently exciting and prolific since they've been releasing basically an album or more yearly since 2013
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link
i love "audrey" a lot

haven't listened to this until now, and its pretty great! makes me feel like walking my dog and shopping for clothes and getting on an airplane to somewhere i dont have to work.

Weds Camp voter here. I think glenn got me interested in 'em in 2016 via his weekly New Particles playlists but this album was the first moment that they really clicked with me.

colleen record is excellent

Oh good. Didn't vote for this but pleased to see it place. Her best record, I think.
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
I think all three (or four if you count In Situ) of her albums are almost equally great! my favorite is still Quarantine, followed by Chance of Rain
― Dan S, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:35 (six years ago) link
I think this may be her brightest, "happiest" release

You can listen to a song in four minutes and immediately post an opinion, engaging with an album you've never heard takes a lot longer.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 16:58 (six years ago) link
So far the L'Rain album is the only one that I've listened to prior to the countdown. I think that's a new record low for me. So lots of catching up to do.
― Moodles, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:00 (six years ago) link
i didn't understand this laurel halo record *at all* but i did enjoy listening to it. feels like her songs are made out of some weird thick fluid instead of solid matter, like the music's been written on dough that's slowly being stretched and kneaded right in front of your ears. some good songs all the same though - 'do u ever happen', 'moontalk', 'jelly'
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:04 (six years ago) link
"Syzygy" is great, too. the desultory vocals and extremely loose arrangements on this album are very appealing to me

Yeah, Matt DC OTM. But also people seem to be having arguments in that "thread to complain about hyped shit" or whatever it's called, instead of having them in here. I thought those types of threads were supposed to be more for venting than for the usual scrapping we have on the actual rollout threads but it seems to have taken over.

Inane comment: the 'phone off the hook' noise on the Halo track from the threads poll got on my tits to such an extent, I haven't even bothered with the album.
