I loved Tomboy at the time but haven't played it in years.

regarding The SMiLE Sessions - the Wire: βAt the heart of SMiLE lies the question of how to make a society, how to live joyfully in a state of knowledge... SMiLE aimed to make the most idiosyncratic, personal and obscure music accessible to the greatest number of listeners.β

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was also great, especially the Intro and Midnight City, and the way the male voice at the beginning of the intro morphs into Zola Jesus's voice. both songs were epic

We didn't need a story, we didn't need a real worldWe just had to keep walkingAnd we became the stories, we became the placesWe were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worldsWe were you before you even existed

my personal faves are:Drake Take CareDestroyer KaputtNicolas Jaar Space Is Only NoiseThe Caretaker An Empty Bliss Beyond This WorldKate Bush 50 Words for SnowDJ Quik The Book of David
Kaputt takes it by a margin
50 words for snow is fantastic, great winter album
hilarious to think how huge these were en 2011 and never again:The Weeknd House of Balloons/TrilogyWU LYF Go Tell Fire to the Mountain

Kaputt is my album of the decade, just ahead of Art Angels.

iibh, I'd vote for Bon Iver, but I went with Hell on Heels because it deserves way more recognition than it's going to get. Space is Only Noise is another ridiculously awesome album that I worry will be under-recognized. avid Comes to Life is epic but I rarely go back to it.The original 4 was better than the reshuffled version, imo.

I didn't vote for it, but the Weeknd's House of Balloons is still my favorite from him - it may not have my favorite singles, but it's the one I like most as a whole. (Also glad he was able to re-issue it with the missing samples reinstated.)
Black Up's really good too. I need to give that another listen.

i still jam "lyf" and "we bros" from this album. considered a strategic vote for it in this poll. after the dust settled, my analysis is that they probably never intended to make a second one. ellery screaming "WASSUP MUTHAFUCKAHH!" during their letterman performance was very (chef's kiss)

Still disappointed Wild Flag wasn't included. I play that more than anything else from 2011.
