Where'd the gif go?!

The single was such a snooze I didn't bother.
This music for people in trouble, it's not for everyone. It's a motherfucking vibe.

thanks as always everyone, this was great, and i usually find the albums rollout kinda boring compared to the tracks
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link
lmao simon
Ha, nice gif! Had no idea people had rallied around the Sundfør album aside from "Undercover". The SZA felt more of an event than either of these, but they have the weight of their past few albums behind them.

gr8080 this was your finest hour, excellent job on the mid poll fakeout as opposed to the poll ending fakeout.
― omar little, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:15 (six years ago) link
Kinda expected Father John Misty to be a fake #1 in lieu of all the rockist comments
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:15 (six years ago) link
yeah thanks again to gr80 and all the other poll runners
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:15 (six years ago) link
kind of hilarious to think of these two titles together
― rob, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:15 (six years ago) link
i think the Kendrick album felt like an even bigger "event" than TPAB but ymmv.
Some of the songs/melodies on this Susanne Sundfør record have a real primordial feel. Not talking about John Grant's chanting either, just the songs. Earthy, thunderous in all its surface 'low-key'-ness. Coming back to the album is really an emotional experience. It's also of perfect length, always making you curious enough to listen to the end. She's still the best melody writer in the world, maybe best singer.

I was expecting a fake #1 to just be all those unreleased Prince tracks.
― MarkoP, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:16 (six years ago) link
Fuck yes that gif! Amazing work.
― emil.y, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:16 (six years ago) link
music for people in trouble is fine but i really dislike reincarnation and the sound of war and the highs don't come close to ten love songs. a lot of really surprising results this year
thanks to the poll runners!
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link
Thankig u gr80 and poll runners. Great work allround.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link
yes, thanks!
― Dan S, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:17 (six years ago) link
the right album won. i listened to well over 100 albums this year, a lot of them great, but none of them quite accomplished what kendrick did.
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:19 (six years ago) link
wow i just saw that gif in full, great work!!
imo the sundfor album was a huge step backwards from ten love songs. Undercover's great though
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:19 (six years ago) link
I like DAMN. more than TPAB, there, I said it.
I pretty much knew back in April this was AOTY, couldn't conceive of anything coming along that would be more exciting, and that hasn't changed one bit since then.

Love the steel guitar on Reincarnation (and preceding track)

thank you JF, gr8080, and seandalai for your amazing work. year-end shenanigans is always one of the most fun things about posting in this board, and y'all make it happen.

Listening to the Sundfor now...I like the sax.

Kind of shocked Nite Jewel completely missed. I was convinced it would definitely make top 10. That album is tite! What happened?
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:21 (six years ago) link
btw gr8080 the fever ray alb is called Plunge
thank you and well done to everyone involved in the tallying and roll out!

the susanne record is a little sleepy, and it's way less direct, but the songs are just as strong as their counterparts on 10 love songs. just need a little time to get under your skin.
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:21 (six years ago) link
Thanks for the poll. Amazing scenes. These two albums soundtracked a trip to Iceland last October; part of me is forever listening to 'Undercover' on the coastal planes between Eyjafjallajökull the ghosts of the sea.

What's not to like about "The Sound of War"? My favourite track on a beautiful album (my #6).

I found DAMN. really hard work. Perhaps that's the point? I will continue to persevere. "HUMBLE." started to click when I listened to it on the tracks playlist recently.
― Jeff W, Thursday, 1 February 2018 21:26 (six years ago) link
