2017 end of the year lists

and 90% of those complaints are from imago

"ugh, how apathetic the pens of scribes recommending platitudinous trollop SZA when Yrrrt Grvlakak released an album on Bandcamp"

Poor bald people... clearly not welcome in this thread.

I'd like to state for the record that I'm old, deaf, doughy, out of touch and lazy but I actually have a lot of hair. Most of it on my ass and shoulders and coming out of my ears.

i'm old and bald, and i will say this is probably my laziest year

Ass eating teenagers never consider what the future has in store.

I don't see an obvious winner for the ILM eoy album poll as it stands so that might make it a little more interesting...OR could result in something like LCD actually winning.

there is certainly an obvious frontrunner for the ILM EOY poll.

for damn sure.

yeah it'll be in my top five and I haaate voting like eVerYoNe ElSe!!

Is it Taylor Swift? Please tell me it’s not.

Sam Smith

An aside, there are some nice tracks on that Kelly Lee Owens for those who don't know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzEaFeIwbuk

that kelly lee owens record is awesome

idk which record lj is talking about

BRADLEY

One might say that being number 1 is in the album's DNA...

I might humbly suggest...

(they're talking about the fourth best kendrick album)

bullshit, it might be the best one

it might be

but it isn't

Third probs. Not really sure where I place it on my best of list, but consensus has been pretty good on it, so I assume it'll be the number 1

Ah yeah forgot about that one. Seems like a safe bet.

I have hopes for my own AOTY/AOTD contender cracking the top ten, that'd be something

oh wait y'all are talking about kendrick? all right i guess

you were talking about kehlani up there I assume btw

both kehlani and kendrick will do very very well and no one needs to worry about them

WHo'll finish higher, Kehlani or Kelela?

Kesha imo

you were talking about kehlani up there I assume btw

yep! tbh it's sorta tied with the lee ann womack

i also haven't heard the new miguel yet and expect it to be up there with both of them

Kelela album is str8 fire tbh

WHo'll finish higher, Kehlani or Kelela?

kelela might get the benefit of recency bias and also being more winter-appropriate

(both are great and will do well I'm sure)

tt has told me good things about the kehlani and I do intend to give it a full listen soon

you'd really like it i think lj. second half especially is v strong

:) cool, will check

I am still repping Drab Majesty and Ulver

Fellow old bald people, have you heard Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever? They are for us!

Ulver will be high on my ballot

same

RT with an album that hasn’t come out yet is so fucking pretentious. I doubt they have advance copies too, the whole thing would have leaked already if they were giving advances.

The whole thing has leaked

Oh well then... carry on. Is it good?

Penguin Cafe

― Fastnbulbous

wait there's a new Penguin Cafe Orchestra album???

i'm old and bald, and i will say this is probably my laziest year

weird you forgot doughy

too lazy to include it

Yes and no! Penguin Cafe is lead by Arthur Jeffes is the son of Simon Jeffes, founder of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Along similar lines of chamber and modern classical, pretty nice.

Thumbs up on Decibel putting Spirit Adrift at #2.

― Number None

Which thing?

Bjork new album

I think it's more savvy than pretentious though, trying to sell Björk records is all
