Nyan Cat's manifesto was worth reading, iirc.
my favourite part was where it said 'nyan'.

You don' think Eye Contact has any chance to win this?

This poll was heavily promoted throughout the metal poll, so expect some more metal!― Fastnbulbous,
― Fastnbulbous,
seandalai did a sterling job promoting it but I know how hard it is to get metal punters to vote. A lot of the liturgy voters seem to be posters who did not take part in metal poll. So i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bother voting.I do think 1 album is a cert and possibly the 2nd. Anything else would shock me.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
Its possible I guess; maybe more of a chance than Ravedeath 1972 xxp

Britney used to be tagged as black metal. So black metal radio played Britney but Britney/pop radio played black metal.

So next year will there be a Two Lights album in the poll?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:29 (twelve years ago) link
I reckon that Tim Hecker will appear in round about the same place as Emeralds and OPN did last year or maybe just a bit higher.

btw i didn't vote in this poll or the tracks one, but apparently like talking about albums way more than singles.

― ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
I hope Hecker makes it. Didn't get into my ballot but have since listened a bit more and it deserves to be in this list.

have no idea what might be wrong with combining black metal with whatever, even if that whatever is "williamsburg-scene rock". i like cross pollination and hate the purity police almost as much as i hate knee-jerk indie bashing. it seems ridiculous to disparage this band by saying that they sound like what the liars or oneida would sound like if they tried to play black metal, cuz those bands don't play black metal, and if they did, i'm sure it'd be both interesting and distinct from what liturgy are up to. the manifesto is funny. it reminds me of deathspell omega's metaphysical ramblings. deep thoughts of this sort are par for the genre.
if the music doesn't appeal, then that's that. if it does, then all this other crap becomes secondary.

Yeah I think that stands a good chance. Pretty sure the top 3 will be PJ Harvey, Beyonce and them. Wouldn't be surprised if the DJ Quik places in top 5 too.

Meh Kerr I think #3 and esp #4 albums in the metal poll have huge crossover appeal and should do well ~many xps later~

I'm not too into the album results this year partly because I already know which two of the albums I voted for will place, and I'm 99% sure the rest will not (especially if none of them placed on the first day). And I did a lot of skimming of the albums nominations, enough that I don't expect to make any discoveries from the poll results.
― John Gaw Meme (_Rudipherous_), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
On the other hand, I am anxiously waiting for today's results to actually be posted, because it's still some sort of entertainment while I'm waking up.
― John Gaw Meme (_Rudipherous_), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
I still wouldn't be surprised if Katy B won. top 5 for certain.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
lol no way is Femme Fatale winning, it will be lucky to be top 10

If PJ wins it would be the first ever 'rock' winner of an ILM EOY poll.

everyone's a winner

pretty sure rock stuff has won albums polls before, its the tracks poll it hasn't
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
i know femme fatale won't win :) just throwing supportin a dream world it would be britney at #3 behind saade volume 1 and saade volume 2
― nathey, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
PJ Harvey won't win I don't think, but maybe we should save this discussion for Thursday.

I cant think of one. And people have been saying for years that a rock album hasn't won. We need a thread with all the EOY results on it.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
there was a poll thread of all the EOY results, i can't find it now though
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
I think PJ is likely to win on points - got a feeling it's the kind of album people either love or quite like, so it's likely to get a high amount of votes in some capacity rather than a few rabid fans.

I was excited about Barbara Panther at first. Great name, interesting story. Her affected Bjork-isms wore me down by track 5 though. Best in small doses. When Saints Go Machine is cool. Bits remind me of Antony, Wild Beasts, Long Fin Killie.

Only thing that might stop PJ is will enough americans have heard it/liked it enough but it's ILM so it shouldn't really be a problem.I can see Beyonce beating it though.

the last PJ Harvey record I liked came out in 1993.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea PJH wasn't popular in the States. Before LES I'd frequently forget she was English - always stored her in the American/Alternative category in my mind.

PJH has made a lot of good music since 1993, although Rid of Me is probably always going to be my favorite.

I love this write up he did for his number ten.
Virtually every genre has sort of the crossover album that mixes the genre with elements from lots of other genre in a really ambitious concept album, and creates a classic. "Speakerbox/The Love Below" is basically to hip-hop was "London Calling" was to punk, "Mellon Collie" was to grunge, "Leftism" was to electronica and "Physical Grafitti" was to heavy rock. A truly ambitious album that is sooo much more than just a hip-hop album. Which is probably why it is the first ever hip-hop album to appear in my year-end Top 10 ;)
