interesting list at the very least with the occasional completely bizarre pick, like i would have never imagined the quietus would rep for travis scott's birds in the trap sing mcknight, of all things?

agree with a lot on the list but the travis pick is ludicrous, especially considering all the artists he ripped off have made better albums/tapes. the us rap picks being kendrick/kanye/travis/death grips is so "i don't like rap but _____", really just missing run the jewels.

ah reading again this list was voted on by everyone who's ever contributed to the site, unlike the end of year lists which are compiled only by the 5 core staff. that explains why it's in some ways a lot less distinctive than i would have expected for a quietus list, but still doesn't explain travis scott showing up

that claim can't be true cos I contributed a few reviews to the quietus and they never contacted me for this article, the bastards :)

I uhm ... doubt that I'm the only Quietus reader over 40. Why then the eyechart typeface

To make you work for your edification. :-D

The Quietus is one of those websites that doesn't specify a typeface. So if you go into your browser settings, change the default typeface and reload the site you should find something more to your liking.
