ILM'S TOP 77 TRACKS of 2011 (Los resultados!)

Lots of parallels between Goblin and Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer, IMO.

why is the "teenage boys trying to shock people" aesthetic revered by so many

Why is anything revered?

classic bonkers

ha dog latin how dare you make me want to hear a Tyler album!

Terrible fucking record. Next.

and it's more than "I'm just out to shock you" - there's a lot of power in that video, through composition, the use of focus, expression - it is a really great bit of pop art. The fact he eats a giant cockroach and throws up everywhere is a Brucie.

idk I thought EARL was p much superior to this in every way; I think I even like "French" more than this

but Tyler is right about 'Yonkers' being a cool word

I don't have audio at home so I don't know what the song's like, but the gimmick of the video seems to be... that the guy eats a bug and then hangs himself? Don't know what's so "woah!" about that, looks pretty juvenile to me.

(several x-posts)

everything about tyler the creator is fucking juvenile. puerile maybe a better word. "towering work of art" my ass.

hahaha Tuomas otm today

Don't know what's so "woah!" about that, looks pretty juvenile to me.

This is how I write off pretty much all OFWGKTA

"yonkers" will probably be the single best song to ever come out of OF

beat is a classic anyway

the beat is like someone took a good idea and leeched all energy out of it

Lots of parallels between Goblin and Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer, IMO.

They're both about inner lives and mental breakdown I guess? The latter is less about eliciting a reaction in the listener and more about confession tho. (bits of Goblin are "confessional" I guess but they feel more self-consciously performative / persona-driven.)

The beat is suitably paranoid and jittery and would fit right in on a mid-90s ICP album.

well actually "yonkers" is still a step down from "EARL" but that's a 10/10 for all time

The only track I remember from the Tyler album is "She," but I've never seen the "Yonkers" video.

xp lol I was gonna say

yea yonkers is a fantastic track; 1st thing on my ballot to place! lol

goblin as a record as for the most part boring & juvenile id agree w/

i hoped it was just a cover of bonkers by dizzee :(

"Which is the right Goblin" is like "which is the right Ghost"

(this guy is not the right Goblin btw)

I am going to tune in for the top 20 because someone has to be the person who does that.

everything about tyler the creator is fucking juvenile. puerile maybe a better word. "towering work of art" my ass.

Show me an example of decent/interesting pop/hip-hop that isn't juvenile/puerile/base/provocative/whatever. I don't get it?

And the beat rules. So there.

in happier news "i am the best" is totally growing on me, i am getting over my "i don't understand the words" block

xp sade

are you fucking kidding me

first off, in what universe is "provocative" equivalent to "juvenile", "base" and "puerile"

secondly, are you fucking KIDDING me

are you fucking kidding me

Yes! Too low, IMO.

That was the only Destroyer track I voted for.

phew another one i feared would be way higher

listen to some proper balearic jams not this feeb

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

Yeah this guy is kinda weak sauce for me.

bit of a wobbly start to the top 20

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

this is my prediction :(

him or PJH but there are more americans on this board :(

I've ended up liking this album a lot, was surprised by the negative reaction itt. That said, I could have probably done without another track.

xp: this American does not know from Destroyer (until this poll I assumed it was a crossover doom metal act!)

it would be nice to see chris jericho win the royal rumble

oh if only

The Destroyer album would probably have made my top 50 if I'd done one. Don't love it or hate it.

listen to some proper balearic jams not this feeb

Not sure he (or rather his keyboardist, who composed most of this track) is going for balearic as much as new-age movie soundtrack. Reminds me of, like, Dave Grusin in places.

(until this poll I assumed it was a crossover doom metal act!)
irl lol!

so... I am not OPPOSED to slow builds etc, but why did it take this song 4 minutes to start

This guy's going to win the albums poll isn't he?

― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods)

I'd guess PJ Harvey will win that, maybe Beyonce will be ahead too.

i do think that this song could be a good gateway drug for people who didn't know they wanted to hear 20 min songs...that's something.

wiki says this song is supposed to be only 7 mins, not the 20 mins that the Youtube seems to imply

it's...okay-ish?

wouldve been awesome if a Blanck Mass album track placed at #19 instead of this, but yknow, I'm dealing...

This is meant as a Side D bliss-out, not a single, and should be listened to knowing that.

multixp
Reminds me of this, which is on spotify if you want to compare it.

Okay, this Destroyer thing lasts for 19 minutes and begins with some synth drones (had to get my headphones so I get to listen to this stuff) that sound like early 90s ambient... Is the rest of the song like that too? I didn't know so many ILXors like ambient.

I also listened to "Yonkers", and I just don't get it. Is this kind of teenage angsty stuff + Co Flow style beats some new form of undie rap that I haven't heard of? Basically, I've nothing against juvenile tunes if they're about sex or partying or drugs, stuff adults can relate to too, but this tune isn't like that at all.
