Fat White Family in TheQ's top ten is sort of like ... did someone lose a bet or something?
― calzino, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 12:12 (seven years ago) link
or maybe it is just typical TQ. But jeez, spare me ...
― calzino, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 12:14 (seven years ago) link
I generally like the Quietus but some of the music they go absolutely apeshit for I find pretty poor - I don't get what's so great about Arabrot either but they're at least better than fucking Fat White Family.
At least their token black metal album's interesting though.
― ultros ultros-ghali, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 12:15 (seven years ago) link
both of their token black metal albums are fairly good ;)

xps the track listing on SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs is a delight too :)
― nxd, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 12:33 (seven years ago) link
Our three token black metal albums are all very good if you ask me.

xxp I was talking about JG actually I missed Oranssi Pazuzu which is higher than I would've expected!
(I was being tongue in cheek calling them token btw)

gnaw their tongues is p good too, am guessing that's the third

Nice to see an album released by The Quietus Phonographic Corporation made it to #24 on their year-end list.

8. Ian William Craig - Centres
I've been trying this one off and on since it came out but it's just not connecting. Loved his first two. I guess I'm put off by the vocals being higher in the mix this time around.

I keep meaning to listen to that bee thing. There was a liveish surround sound performance of it in the Glade at Glastonbury this year but it was shitting down at the time and I wasn't really in the mood.

76. Noura Mint Seymali - Arbina
From Quietus list and on NPR one too. Seymali and her rockin guitarist husband and band are edging out Bombino for the North African desert music slot on a few lists.

King was just on the Quietus list! xp

king's exclusion from the decibel list was a real head-scratcher

I didn't think KING existed outside of ILM so to see them on two lists so far is kind of amazing

they also got a grammy nomination
― maura, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link
I think King are probably on the Quietus list BECAUSE of the ILM overlap?

go to hell
they're inside my own personal top ten THANKS TO ILX. the quietus is a british magazine whose writers READ ILX. it's not racist to draw the connection for fuck's sake

never understood whiney's long running personal beef with the quietus
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
this appears to have nothing to do with The Quietus and everything to do with assuming no one outside of ILX has ever heard of King

yeah, my beef was with imago

Um anyway
The USA Today list is shockingly emo-crew friendly.

rosenstock deserved to be no. 1 on at least one list

Is there a link for the USA Today?
Kinda surprised how underrepresented the year's big prestige emo albums are on a lot of these lists. But that may just be a reflection of the fact that 2016 was a strong year for a lot of music

I'm excited that he's getting so much exposure but also I am concerned about his bound-to-rise anxiety levels lol xp

Why the fuck are the Fat White Family on any of these lists? They're awful. I played with them once and as soon as they got there they asked the promoter where to score crack and then bounced w/o a soundcheck. Their music was horrible.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 17:20 (seven years ago) link
That sounds kind of like the essence of 2016 to me.

They definitely play up the gobby British rock arseholes thing as part of their 'act', but the point of their music hasn't reached me yet either
