ILM 2015 Tracks Poll Thread of Ballots, Statistics and Community-wide Anomie

"here are the best albums without any good tracks on them"

well...if you vote for an album people will assume you love most of the tracks...and don't need to be told again

personally I feel like its a bit of a waste of time, eg the Susanne Sundfor album is full of great tracks but it's even better taken together as a statement of intent as an "album" and if I tell you it's a great album I don't need to spell out that it consists of ten great tracks

i mean, i hope you're really looking fwd to next week's roll-out which will reprise half the artists in this week's roll-out

Plus even more schmindie!

can we do an EP list in 2016? I feel like I heard a lot of really good EPs that worked as a collection of songs that I didn't necessarily think of as "singles" or "tracks"

Hell yes! So many phenom EPs last year.

@lex i mean, yeah there will be a lot of crossover, but if there's no "rule" about it, then you're only making your own votes less likely to place

like I totally ignored Annie, Laura Groves, Kaledia, The Japanese House, Dej Loaf and Sevyn Streeter because I thought of their releases as not singles but didn't consider that they wouldn't be at all possible options for albums votes

the honey cocaine ep is one of the only eps i've ever considered voting for as an album (but voted for "sundae" instead to no avail)

and yeah in general eps are becoming more of a thing

I just feel like having no cross over between album and track ballots would be completely dishonest

The point of these polls IMO is not to show off how diverse my listening is but to show off what i really like listening to

I love these stats so much. Hivemind: 154.40. Neighbour: 'imago'. Top genre: noise pop.

lol I didn't even vote for this because I ran out of room on my ballot (despite nominating it), but I'm glad someone else was into it!

co-sign, this is a good idea. Pazz & Jop had an EPs poll from '81 to '94 and i think we're totally back at the point where there are enough good EPs being made every year that it'd be worth doing.
