Got halfway through 'Guppy' before giving up. Guess I should give this a second chance.

Wow, most rockist top 10 in a while?
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:30 (six years ago) link
Amazing record.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:31 (six years ago) link
enh only two of these are genuinely rock records imo (Slowdive, CB) xp
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
no, you're wrong, i'm a rockist now
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
Yeah but two of the top three are going to Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
Ha, well, those are #5 and #4.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
and even then Charly Bliss has the temperament of a pop album imo
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:38 (six years ago) link
Many xps: another 'probably no.1 if I'd got my shit together' for Dawson, here. I think he's Arthur Machen with a guitar and a maniacal twinkle in his eye.

Loving 70s-ish progressive English folk has to count as rockist too but my post was p facetious tbf, cf. any post where I use the word "rockist" or "rockism". xps

lovee the jlin album, preferred the previous one thoughhaven't heard these last 2 so will check them tomorrow
― nxd, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:40 (six years ago) link
Love this album. Should have had it way higher on my list. Already sounds like a classic.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:41 (six years ago) link
SHOULD'VE BEEN HIGHER
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:44 (six years ago) link
Top 3 for Susanne, holy shit you guys.

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:45 (six years ago) link
But yeah this was my #1. So happy to see it do so well

great record, voted drew barrymore in the songs list rather than this beast tho
― nxd, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:50 (six years ago) link
too... low?
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:51 (six years ago) link
I was sure this was #2
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:51 (six years ago) link
I followed the tracks rollout but I don't even remember Charly Blilss. Maybe something I skipped.
― _Rudipherous_, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:51 (six years ago) link
same!
also that's it for my ballot lol
oh yeah, susanne and kendrick, those are the last two
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
susanne and kendrick #2 and #1. party like it's 2015
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
really good, a late cut from my ballot. strong songwriting all the way through. 'drew barrymore' deservedly got loads of attention and 'pretty little birds' is an amazing deep cut
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
i was racking my brain bc today i somehow forgot that the kendrick album existed
lol kendricks gonna get a record percentage of votes i think
― nxd, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link
Lol didn't remember Kendrick was #1 last time Susanne got #2.
― abcfsk, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link
lol i was not expecting susanne to make it to #2 again
was hoping for a sza win but oh well

― Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I had to look that up too, didn't recall Sundfor made it that high. I'm still surprised her new one is getting so much love. It's so much more low key
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
voting totals way down this year :(
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link
maybe this means we get a new KING album in a few months
― nashwan, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link
While we wait: one last plug for the metal poll! Get yer ballots in, there's still a few days.
The 2017 ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll VOTING + CAMPAIGNING thread! Ballots due Saturday, Feb. 3rd!
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:57 (six years ago) link
i'm surprised that there's so much less consensus than usual in the albums poll, even accounting for less ballots
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 20:58 (six years ago) link
Susanne deserves to win this, just like she did last time.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:05 (six years ago) link
Kendrick is going to beat her by an even greater margin than last time
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:08 (six years ago) link
Hope someone remembers to joke post 'Man of the Woods' in next year's poll
― abcfsk, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:08 (six years ago) link
I didn't discover SZA album until week before NYE, during which it went into heavy rotation and never left my car. The only awful thing is the Kendrick collab.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
lol xp
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
xp yeah that's the one weak link on an otherwise pretty incredible album
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
The only awful thing is the Kendrick collab.
it really is mysteriously bad
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:10 (six years ago) link
Is this the most tranquil albums rollout in years?
Is it bcz no Lex? Bcz of that other thread? Or is ilm becoming way more hiveminded?
