i like that philip sherburne voted for blut aus nord.

doesn't ned do pazz & jop? he could have been the 3rd vote for the 5 eps.

i haven't really gotten into asap rocky. i should give him another chance. i dug kendrick right off the bat.

maria loves death grips. that's her fave album of the year, i think.

asap rocky is the worst shit, fucking lana del rap, no one will care by april, don't bother

are any of the essays any good?

tom's essay is so great even though i was like "i never need to read another thing about ldr"

scott look at #2 https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Pazz-Jop&query=2011+Metalism

you'd have to pay me a lot of money to listen to the entire jay/kanye album. why didn't they call it JAKaNYeZ?

https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Pazz-Jop&query=2011+Hipness

also the metal albums i voted for that weren't lulu (goreaphobia and in solitude) didn't do anything in the top 200 :(

PJ's album is a lot more metal than a lot of metal! so i can dig that. she was robbed by TunEleSsYawnzzzz.

https://pub.needlebase.com/actions/visualizer/V2Visualizer.do?domain=Pazz-Jop&query=2011+Voter+Centricity

interesting
Here are the 2011 voters sorted by centricity, which is a measure of how close their album ballots came to matching the critical consensus. In 2010 there were 26 voters with >.7 centricity. In 2011 only 4!

saw there was a new paul simon record that finished pretty high!

anyone heard it? good?

think it was matos' #1 record

Mr. Ratfucker, can you do a "corny indie fuxxor gtfo" list where you throw out every ballot that has tune-yards, destroyer, bon iver, st vincent or fleet foxest?

sounds like the sort of request Nixon would make.

i think you mean glenn. He is the one with those skills. (ie he does it all on metal poll, i just upload a csv file with the ballots)
xps

my pal michael robbins might have voted for the roots and drake, BUT he also voted for one of my very favorite metal albums of recent years! happy to see that.

The essay about tuneyards' sales (lack of) is interesting. At 47,000 copies sold and 135 votes, that means the voters actually equal about 1/3 of 1 percent of the sales. (Not that many of the voters probably actually bought the thing.)

i bought it! but i didn't vote.

one of a kind list, that's for sure:

http://www.villagevoice.com/pazznjop/critics/2011/684436/

i know so few of those

i like his #1 and #8

Interested in a "what's the highest ranking pazz and jop artist you never heard of"

Eric Church, Chief. which, i mean hes on emi nashville but realistically most of the records on the list that i havent heard but heard of are bcuz of ilm

did you just call whiney 'chief'?

I kinda liked the Eric Church album.

never heard of EMA myself

I like 1, 5, 8 and 10 on Chuck's list. And I'm glad to see he and I weren't the only two to put 2NE1's "I Am The Best" on our singles ballots. (Yes, I filed a singles ballot this year, for the first time ever, and it was all composed of actual singles.)

the Church album isn't bad at all -- "Drink in My Hand" is much better than "Red Solo Cup."

i thought it was kool to like that destroyer record? or is that indie fucc now?

i like it

the pj harvey record is really amazing i think, i'm glad it finished high

i know it's not a surprise at this point but a new Radiohead album hitting #33 in this thing is still pretty incredible

I need time to process all of this Drake love.

now that "Gucci Gucci" is officially the 7th most acclaimed rap song of 2011 maybe deej can stfu about how critics supposedly all hate Kreayshawn

considering the amount of attention it got, managing to get 20 critics on board for the song isn't exactly an overwhelming victory. There were more pieces written about how she was a shitty rapper than there were voters for her in a poll

Haven't heard of:

57. The Men

P.S. - I voted for Drake.

i just checked, no one voted for a max b mixtape in 2009

and the only ones who voted for gucci were like the 5 of us from ilx + noz. what's your point

there were more pieces about how drake was a shitty rapper than there were voters for him in the poll. that doesn't mean anything.

The critical establishment's dogmatic popism eliminates any consideration of the philosophy surrounding the creative and commercial genesis of music and elevates the aesthetic, so whatever sounds best must be best, and now somehow independent music has wound up in a place where Beyoncé is on the same purely aesthetic playing field that Sharon Van Etten is, because it makes you powerfully, stinkingly uncool to point out that Beyoncé is a meticulously calculated, choreographed, and focus group-approved product of the same system that Sharon Van Etten's forebears in independent music rose up as a direct response to. Suddenly Sharon Van Etten sounds a little thin without the help of a billion-dollar machine. Like Mitt Romney said: "Corporations are people, too, my friend."

nice terrible comment here

the fact that 22 critics like kreayshawn doesn't 'prove' that she wasnt overhated either

althoguh my familiarity w/ a lot of other artists only extends as far as "i saw their name on a website (usually ilx) a couple times, couldn't tell you a thing about them"

Same. A few of them (e.g., Danny Brown) I hadn't encountered until they started showing up on year-end lists/blog posts/roundtables.

wow

thnx @ jordan, I really like Scott PL's essay

PRR comin' out swingin'

primarily for putting in perspective music that I don't follow particularly closely. It's hard to give these results shape but he did a really good job of it imo xp to myself

lol two difft people just tweeted at me that they thought scott seward's comment was mine b/c of the formatting. kind of lol to imagine me writing that one

& it looks like alfred wrote my comment

Also, why the kvetching about Drake when "Moves Like Jagger" somehow got 11 votes.

newest tori amos album didn't get a single solitary vote, damn

Ha that David Shapiro comment is sooo close to being an MM post about Lady Gaga and autotune and Satanism
