when i flew back to chicago from miami in nov. i spent a good portion of the plane ride falling in and out of sleep while listening to the latest titus andronicus album, so you're probably right

talabot album is dope... "so will be now..." was one of my fav songs of the year

I have no idea what to expect from John Talabot

k so my bet is

2. miguel
1. kendrick

that would make me so fucking happy

Woop! I love the John Talabot album. One of my happiest memories of the year was cycling up towards the house I lived in out in the countryside for six months on a glorious July evening with 'Missing You' pumping into my lugholes. Strangely I didn't recognise the track that made the tracks poll and I'm starting to think it didn't copy over to my iPhone properly.

i can't even sleep on a plane if i taking melatonin

if i push myself through when i'd naturally fall asleep, i can only ever get a couple of hours of sleep

talabot, you definitely shouldn't sleep to this. up all night dancing > sleep

Should I post them together? I don't mean right this minute. But when I do...

i had no idea just how popular this record was on ilm. its good

love this album

<3 Armor On, lex OTM re: the "heaven" => "faith" => "scripture" section is hands down the finest bit of sequencing anywhere last year

I like Talabot but prefer Blondes tbh, never quite clicked for me.

JF - you did that w/the tracks no? Unless the top 2 aren't the top 2 everyone is expecting.

gr80 u weren't feeling it at first iirc, right?

might as well

sorta surprised talabot got no number one votes, has an album ever come this high without any #1s?

It helps that Talabot was released right a the beginning of the year (which was otherwise a pretty stark time for me musicwise). It's been with me all year, slowly and warmly growing over me.

Both on my ballot but I liked kendrick record more than miguel.

in a shock result, the top 2 are Rye Rye and VCMG

Yes, pl. Unless Kaputt has won again, in which case you can stop right now ;)

Still holding out hope my #1 vote for Gordo Tacqueria has been given disproportionate weight.

xpost Amazing.

haaaa i should have done Kaputt as a fake #2, shit!

I like Talabot but prefer Blondes tbh, never quite clicked for me.

Based on skim listens, this is otm.

gr8080 I almost made that exact joke graphic, but ran out of time. Glad you read my mind!

i'd be cool with kaputt as #1

i actually considered the possibility that you would be considering the same move, based on your posts on that thread :D

The Lumineers was going to be my fake #2.

lol i was considering making a fake #1 for kaputt

greyscale art, bro

is John Talabot a joke grafik as well?

hi morbs

maybe? i remember taking a while to warm to "families" too

my dick in first place, put my dick in first place

Morbs what are your thoughts on the Miguel album? Do you think it should win?

maybe i went in to fin with too many expectations of what it was going to be

once i gave it some distance i was able to love it for what it is

The melodic austerity and purposeful restriction of sound palette on Fin meant that while I always liked it I could never love it in the way I do some of his remixes. I wish he'd leavened it with a couple of sun-coming-up beach rave tracks like his Teengirl Fantasy/XX/Chairlift remixes. Still a really strong album but it's like dance music for giant Easter Island heads or something.

xp remember you saying it wasn't sunny enough or something

i'd still pay a mint for a talabot remix collection

Still, I like everything in the top five this year so I can't really complain.

if "last land" and "h.o.r.s.e." aren't sun-coming-up anthems i don't know what are
