Wed Camp easily best pop record of the year for me - was also my #1, ufo! Yay.
I believe e.mily and I campaigned really hard for "Jeanne D'arc" (the video of which I still recommend people to watch) to make the tracks poll a few years ago but it didn't happen. :/

I listened to all of the Ryuichi Sakamoto album, enjoyed it a lot, I should check out more of his stuff.
Made an effort to go three tracks into the Manchester Orchestra album but I just can't listen to this kind of music anymore.
Currently listening to Wednesday Campanella and enjoying.
Voted for the Colleen album.

the Sakamoto collabs with Alva Noto are also excellent fwiw
― sleeve, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
this Wednesday Campanella album is really nice
― rob, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:31 (six years ago) link
i bought 'thousand knives' this year so that's where most of my sakamoto listening went

oh that is a lot lower than i would've guessed
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah I could see that sneaking into the Top 20.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:44 (six years ago) link
great album, almost certainly voted for it

yeah much lower than i expected, one of the best rock albums of the year. love Heavenward, Don't Delete the Kisses, Planet Hunter and St. Purple & Green especially
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
I've never been able to get into any of Future's albums in full but HNDRXX had a decent ratio of good songs to not-so-good ones for me.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link
I wonder what the highest placing rock album will be? paramore don’t count obv
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link
charly bliss obv
― imago, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link
unusual wrinkle in that the Future album that placed is not the one with his big singles poll entry
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
think it's between Slowdive, Charly Bliss and Algiers but i'd guess Slowdive
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
oh is the slowdive a rock album? I mean if you insist
― imago, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
yes
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
oh yeah I’d forgotten about slowdive

Surprised Dua Lipa placed so low. Thought that would be nailed on Top 20. Certainly one of the better pop albums I heard all year.
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 18:03 (six years ago) link
Voted for both Dust and Hendrxxx. I also prefer Incredible to Mask Off, though both songs ended up on my track ballot. Both albums felt to me a bit like 'career artist adding new wrinkles to their art, without necessarily forming them into a masterpiece yet' So their placements seem about right.

*cough* LCD Soundsystem *cough*
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
that album is already TOO HIGH
― imago, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
Voted for LCD as well, same thing really :)
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 18:11 (six years ago) link
*shudders at prospect of more LCD records to come, in search of elusive masterpiece*

I completely failed to get into the headspace for this every time I played it.

Yeah this was probably my favourite from the 'women of electronica who's name begins with K' genre this year, excellent stuff

Think I voted for a track but not the album, KG is great tho'.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 18:41 (six years ago) link
the name of the album bugged me for the longest time, I was thinking rambo? dembow? but she had a kid a while back so my best guess now is it’s toddler-speak for rainbow
