The xx and Kehlani were my first 2017 album crushes. I growsed about her album's length but this made it easier to excerpt.

re: length, it helps that the songs are all really tightly constructed

I owe that a few more listens, I recall really enjoying it

i saw a review of beach house 3 that described it as a trap version of a sophistipop album so of course that description could only disappoint
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link
lol yeah i didn't get that description. it is really great but idk why it was released in october
― sophistipop 2 (stritram), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link
It's the K stretch! KLO next?
Pleased that Kehlani (voted for) beat Kelela (couldn't get into). KAS my #1
― Jeff W, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link
OK the Slowdive album is way too high at this stage.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link
i think the only lists that have kehlani over kelela are this and spin's, which is a quasi-ilm list
― sophistipop 2 (stritram), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:16 (six years ago) link
although separated by all of 2 points
― Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:18 (six years ago) link
idk, i love the slowdive record. v rich and textured, progresses significantly from where they left off. every time i listened to it i found it remarkable, i'd only feel it was too high if it were like no. 1

"no longer making time" especially took me to a place that was distinct from, say, "blue skied an' clear" or "alison" but had just as much depth
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:22 (six years ago) link
it did miss my ballot though lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:23 (six years ago) link
also i didn't really expect any of my metal picks to make it but i encourage everyone to check out godflesh's post self, especially imago if he hasn't yet
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:24 (six years ago) link
I think this is the first time I've realized that "Kelela" and "Kehlani" are different artists b/c I've always read their names in separate contexts and my brain is always like "oh yeah, it's that name with the k and e and l" and filed it under the same artist
― (the blues version in his Broadway show) (crüt), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:26 (six years ago) link
Aye, looks like if anyone wants to find out about metal albums they missed they will need to wait until next weeks poll results. I really thought Chelsea Wolfe would make it but she wont be this high.

cheers Brad, will do!
As has been intimated, there's another Kel- coming up...
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link
Kehlani album is great, haven't listened to Kelela as yet, was made wary by odd comments that made it sound "genre-breaking" god forbid
― bizarrer Gandhara (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link
Nah Kelela is such a smooth ride; no need to think abt genre-breaking stuff. It's such a lush trip.

I'm surprised more people who vote in this poll dont vote in metal poll considering the amount of non-metal (we're very loose on definitions) we have nominated.

Haha! This pleases me greatly

Just to backtrack a little, I don't get the love for Octo Octa's LP. I found it to be mildly enjoyable, often kind of bland.And where's Dauwd ? Or Chloé?
And where's Dauwd ? Or Chloé?
I'm glad Octo Octa placed. I'd been into "Fleeting Moments of Freedom" for a while this year and eventually discovered the whole album.
Sadly, Dauwd never really caught on here. It was my #2. I can see how people might find it bland, but I'd rather call it subtle. It's very quiet, in a sense. It definitely doesn't feel as connected to the dance floor as Octo Octa, which is often a minus for me, but wasn't in this case. I think it should be listened to in the context of older German electronic music, Krautrock, and even Robert Ashley.

Why not vote?
Can't imagine the metal massive is waiting on a 5 album ballot that consists of Jute Gyte and four others, which is why I'm staying away from yr fine poll.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link
this was such a huge improvement over her debut
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link
(I'm also somewhat of a sucker for hearing something fresh that was partly done with analogue synths.)
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
absolutely. I went from not caring about her at all to being a fan.
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
lbi why? last year we had people voting only for 1 album. There's no minimum voting. If people looked at the nominations it might just surprise them how much is nominated that they actually like or might like if they gave it a listen.
there's a playlist too https://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/74IL7uL4YEy2tTiBYtRJ4G?si=hJod2droSOmYU0iRtDnmcA

But we're the greatest, they'll vote for us in the ILM PollSlightly miss the top ten, but who cares, still the ILM Poll

Well, that was enough to add Dauwd to my "to listen to" pile. xxxp
― Jeff W, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link
(Still thinking about Dauwd: Macadam Therapy is a weak opening track for the album, too.)

Agree with everyone saying the Lorde album is a big improvement over th e first. I really wasn't expecting much from her, but this album is fantastic from front to back. Not unlike The xx, she benefited greatly from adding a bit of extra energy to her songs.
