really like the sound and production on the horrors album. not as crazy about the songs. pleasant to have on in the background, tho.

Kind of shoegazey isn't it. Not bad what I've heard so far on first listen.

seeing raekwon in those lists will never not be hilarious

I loved the Horrors album when it came out - I repped and repped for it in the face of people calling me a corny Hoxton indie fuxxor, but really it was Sea Within A Sea which was the diamond in the rough. The rest of the album was really just a shoegaze/Joy Division retread with (admittedly excellent) production from Geoff Barrow.

Or maybe that's a bit harsh. I think I was just elated that a British rock band could do something like this in 2009 without trying to go all electro or whatever. Sea Within A Sea remains a great track though - I'm surprised it didn't chart on the singles list.

that's a better placement than its silly top 5 finish in a lot of places. i like neko ok, nice voice, good singer, but she's never really mastered the whole melody thing afaic. i tend to enjoy her records all right while i'm listening, but i'm hard pressed to remember a tune afterward.

― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:17 (sixteen years ago)

yeah that's well-put. i think she could stand to write shorter stuff that's a little more focused.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:18 (sixteen years ago)

My #1.

― Mordy, Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:20 (sixteen years ago)

Mordy & Justine were the #1 votes?
xp
HAH!

― Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:21 (sixteen years ago)

I think I voted for it.

― Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:21 (sixteen years ago)

My favourite album sleeve of last year.

― The Man With the Magic Eardrums (Billy Dods), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:33 (sixteen years ago)

I think the album sleeve is horrible, am I alone?

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:54 (sixteen years ago)

i like it, never saw it before until just now

― da Condom FATHER (some dude), Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:56 (sixteen years ago)

could do with some need for speed graf font imo

― zvookster, Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:58 (sixteen years ago)

the white space around the car bores me, would rather they'd kept the background. the text is a mess as with 98% of current sleeves.

― mdskltr (blueski), Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:02 (sixteen years ago)

yea that sleeve is nothing special imo. maybe if you're into cars?

― psychgawsple, Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:03 (sixteen years ago)

someone should do an album covers of the year poll

one of the worst album covers i've seen.
a muscle car? ok.. neko perched on top of it? ehh.. she's holding a sword? uhh.. corny indie-as-fuck handwritten lettering?? RAGE!! xpost

― !aNiMeGaLaXy (Future_Perfect), Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:14 (sixteen years ago)

J0hn D.'s #1?

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:16 (sixteen years ago)

well considering it didn't have a #1 vote, no

I know right?

ilxor FAIL

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:28 (sixteen years ago)

cover reminds me of SY's Sister.

― the not-glo-fi one (Ioannis), Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:34 (sixteen years ago)

Cover reminds me of the Bauhaus BBC Sessions disc.

also broadcast - haha sound

I love this Mountain Goats album - it was the one that converted me from an admirer to a fan. The production on this is top notch, and J0hn's control of his voice has only improved with time. The most played album in my house the last few months.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:44 (sixteen years ago)

it was a bit outside my top 20 but def a good album and worthy choice

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 February 2010 21:45 (sixteen years ago)

Great, great record.

voted for gaga

― birdman mumia (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:03 (sixteen years ago)

makes me think all pop albums should be 8 songs long; it's such a perfect stream of bangers

― united arab amirites (samosa gibreel), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:12 (sixteen years ago)

Likewise.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:13 (sixteen years ago)

it was pretty weird how they released 'the fame monster' i guess they were in an equally envious/unenvious position

― birdman mumia (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:14 (sixteen years ago)

nothin i voted for yet

― plaxico (I know, right?), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:23 (sixteen years ago)

I think The Mountain Goats might be the only thing on my ballot that will show up.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)

33 -- Mariah Carey - Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (112 points, 8 votes) (dnp in p4k, 332 in p&j)

i did not vote for the fame monster but i really like it, or the first four songs at least. literally just played my personalized mini-EP

xps

― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:53 (sixteen years ago)

we're already at #33? sheesh

― birdman mumia (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:54 (sixteen years ago)

the mariah album is like a shower of feathers

― birdman mumia (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:54 (sixteen years ago)

a peacock?

― zvookster, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:55 (sixteen years ago)

― GRIZZLY! GRRR! GRRR! So Indie Entertaaaaiiiinmeeent! (The Reverend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:14 (sixteen years ago)
