yeah the album cover is pretty audacious
― ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
i kinda like the 'bad fantasy novel' aesthetic though tbh
It was Kieran Hebden, Steve Reid & Mats Gustafsson - Live at the South Bank and I think a lot more people would like it if they had heard it, esp considering what actually placed. OH WELL.

If someone with a voice that didn't make me nuts had made Kaputt, I'd have liked it a lot more.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
It has zero relevance to anything in 2011.
What difference does this make?
― jaymc, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
his voice doesnt bother me at all. I think it may have been a better idea to play this just before bedtime.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
It was apparently VERY relevant to 12 people from ILM (and others who didn't actually make it their #1 votes).
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
I like Bejar's voice for the same reason I like Bowie's or Morrissey's.
― jaymc, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
it was released in 2011 and a lot of people listened to it in 2011 and enjoyed it in 2011. that's pretty relevant imo

thx guys, now I can buy this Destroyer album w/ a clear conscience.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
destroyer was my #1 as well. Took me a while to get into it, but it is an album worth investing some time in.
also I love his voice and lyrics, on this and on previous albums.
― silverfish, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
4 tracks in and every song on this Kaputt album sounds the same - same tempo, same droney faux-English voice... Thought the Gayngs album from last year did a much better take on this kind of thing.
― Sounds Of The Baskervilles (dog latin), Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, even if I didn't vote for it, I'm not gonna shit on the winner of this poll (that holds true for ANY album). Unless it would've been Hammers of Misfortune lol.

three votes for "sorry for party rocking"........
― lana del rey: everythang's workin' (some dude)
If it's any consolation, IIRC I was one of these votes and Soul Punk was my #1 in the desperate hope it would sneak into the list. Glad my votes for Tropical 2/Uncle Acid counted, at least.
― etc, Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
maybe listen to 'bay of pigs' first.. i feel like it's a mission statement for the album more or less
― ^◡^ (diamonddave85), Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
love it when people listen to an album that has 1,355 points, 36 votes, 12 first place votes for like five minutes and dismiss it offhandedly
probably would have been my #1 vote too if i remembered to vote

Yes! I did track it down after you stanned for it, but it came too late for me to vote for it. I probably would've squeezed it in now

I never vote in these cuz my tastes tend to be outlandish, so it's weird that #1 and #2 are albums I actually think were two of the best of the year
― I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Thursday, 2 February 2012 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
the destroyer album only had 1,355 points but each and every one of them went on to start its own poll

so weird how an artist would have a similar sound on all his songs

I despise Florence for making that racist video and am not planning to ever buy another one of her releases, but I really, genuinely loved Ceremonials and I feel like Florence baggage gets in the way of people engaging with that album.

Which video is racist? (Maybe that's been covered, but I think the last Florence video I watched was for Dog Days three years ago.)

I'm definitely not in synch with most of the top results here. I listened to that Destroyer album a dozen times. I dismissed it carefully and deliberately!

I don't know you can call Destroyer not relevant when it scoops up bits and pieces from pretty much every non-pop subgroup of indie music. So nothing sounds quite like it, but that's because no one is doing all that at once and making it sound cohesive. It's also a great antidote to the loudness war.

Shit, Lex is my top neighbour, did not see that coming. I'd have to see his list, I'll be pleasantly surprised if he voted for Art Brut and Wild Beasts too. Realistically it's becuase he voted for Cher Lloyd, Nikkiya, PJ Harvey and Kate Bush too.
A bit gutted Raphael Saadiq didn't make it. It was my number one.
Thanks to you guys for putting this list together.

man i'm really out of touch these days. i've only listened to maybe 10 of these. and there were releases by longtime faves that i totally ignored.
Ford & Lopatin — Channel Pressure << this totally ruled my year tho.
