ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2012

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?

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

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?

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

OMGLOOKATHOSEFUCKINGSTATS ^

yes

i connect with talabot's own productions much more than his remixes, i find them much happier

cool, miguel album is waaay better

wow not even close

never in doubt number one!

Landslide!

and yeah miguel album is def much better than kendrick's

both good though! good rundown!

holy shit

Armor On is too low imo; its more of a piece than most concept albums. Its not just thatthe pacing is exquisitely calibrated but that along with the extended battle tropes never fails to imply a higher form of songwriting,music as a higher calling. Intensely visionary stuff

Multixps

"Adorn" still #1 in R&B airplay. If not for the absurd rule change, this would have been one of the longest running #1's on the R&B chart. As it is, we'll remember "Adorn" up there with the great R&B electroballads.

good lord what a blowout

that is a lot of points.

:o

biggest landslide on a year end poll ever?

Wow, that's a lot of votes/points. Well-deserved #1.

Psst Jordan
