Oh no, what did Trey do?

Phishing scam :(

lol

Can't say I was expecting today's retrospective review.

I think we're still allowed to like Darkthrone because Fenriz had no involvement in the killings and stuff. Also:

Fenriz eventually apologized and disowned his behavior both in his words and his actions throughout the 2000s...In the liner notes of a career retrospective box set Black Death and Beyond, he acknowledged his regret over the language he used in the ’90s. 'There is no excuse,' he wrote."

so, cult of personality (everyone loves Fenriz, bm's most lovable and charismatic goofball) + repentance for problematic opinions = retrospective review. You certainly won't be seeing any retrospective Burzum reviews on Pfork anytime soon, despite the fact that Burzum's early records are better and more historically significant than this particular Darkthrone album

I don't know, I could see a Burzum review. Though probably not with the link that says 'click here to buy, pitchfork might earn a commission'.

the darkthrone trilogy is as historically significant as burzum come on

considerably more so imo

i totally agree

The Burzum album is goofy as shit also

so what's gonna win album of the decade

kanyiohead

greta van fleet foxes

to pimp a sufjan

doesn't feel a stretch to say that tpab will be the only great* album in their inevitable top ten, unless damn also makes it lol

*according to me

Has this Perry Farrell video been on the homepage since July?

https://pitchfork.com/tv/22-over-under/watch-perry-farrell-rate-face-tattoos-hedonism-and-touring-in-a-van/

would be shocked if Visions isn't in the top 5

Given how people's perceptions of Kanye get better in periods when he keeps out of the spotlight (i.e. keeps his mouth shut), I'm guessing MBDTF could still take this

xxp oh no, don't tell me perry is a nine trey blood as well

been caught crippin'

no way, #1 is definitely going to a political album

TPAButterfly?

or am i in the wrong decade, lol i have no idea why i bookmark this thread as i never read pitchfork

TPAB for sure, Lemonade also

I doubt that.

Seems like Lemonade's stock is falling, at least as an album. Read a couple recent things about people saying that it really doesn't hold up well outside of its timeframe and without the visual element, I don't think that will place nearly as highly as it may once have.

Calling Have One On Me for top 10

where does Emotion land?

#79

I'd guess:

1 TPAB
2 Lemonade
3 Blonde
4 Have One On Me
5 Lana Del Rey
6 Sufjan
7 Jai Paul
8 Kanye
9 King Krule
10 Vampire Weekend

11-20 Big Thief, Solange, DAMN, Bon Iver, Mitski, Beach House, D'Angelo, Robyn, The Suburbs, Danny Brown, RTJ. I don't think Visions will make top 20. I also don't know what I'm typing about or why I'm thinking about this.

yeah I think is is correct. what about the Solange album? what is the top ranking album by a woman going to be?

Lemonade will definitely be top 10 and I'd be very surprised if it's not top 5.

FGTI's list looks pretty good though I think that's definitely too high for King Krule, I would expect to see something like Solange or Tame Impala outrank him.

wow, forgot about Blonde- yeah, that'll definitely be up there. idk about Sufjan (didn't Mt. Eerie one-up him with his grief albums?), and while I love HOOM and think it'll place, I can't see it being in the top 10, it's been too long and while JN is still beloved I'm not sure HOOM is the same.

no way Visions doesn't make the top 10, arguably the most influential album of the decade

twisted fantasy or yeezus in the top 10? should be the latter

Oh damn Fiona Apple will be up there too, duh. Insofar as "political" goes I don't think well-regarded albums by Ariel Pink, Sun Kill Moon or Swans will make top 20. Insofar as "their stock has fallen" I don't think LCD, Destroyer or Tame Impala will make top 20.

I ranked King Krule so highly mostly because it's... probably my favourite widely-celebrated album of the past ten years, certainly my most-listened to. It's so great!

I think Lemonade will be the highest-rated album made by a female musician, if not, then Lana. I think they ranked Solange higher that year as a mild controp

I don't think Visions will make top 10 and possibly even top 20-- it doesn't hold together as an album-- but "Oblivion" will be top 5 tracks

I am interested (as interested as I can be about this shit, at least) to see where all the 2010 albums place-- Beach House, Contra, HOOM, The Suburbs, Kanye, etc. I myself forget that they came out this decade it all seems so long ago.

I have thoughts about Mt. Eerie, that the album's back-story obliterated anybody's capacity to approach it with any criticality when it dropped; Sufjan's grief album is unquestionably ""superior"" insofar as lists and rankings go-- really revelling in the particularly ghoulish nature of this exercise at this exact moment, lists are so dumb

If there was going to be a surprise ""outsider"" album in the top 20 (like Grouper, i.e.) my vote would be for the Under The Skin OST. If we're talking "what was the most influential recording of the past ten years" it'd be that.

holds up well!

Agreed w/ most of it fgti, but I do think Destroyer will make the top 20. Under the Skin should make it, too, but we should be so lucky...

i think art angels will place above visions

if I wasn't an idiot I'd have gamed my ballot and voted Mitski, which was just outside my 10 as it stoke

stood

Did u vote 4 Jute Gyte tho

If yes: Was it for Perdurance

yes and yes

denied voting in their shitty tracks poll by the page unaccountably refreshing while i was compiling a ballot. now nobody will have given oranssi pazuzu and arch garrison top and second billing respectively. THERES NO JUSTICE

let it be known that i would have thrown Akrakabo right up there too

Good man :)

I much prefer voting in your own poll tbh, and am of the opinion that a '10s poll is too soon to call, in September 2019.

Based on the way predictions have been worded in this thread I almost forgot this was a readers poll. I started reading posts like "Yeah, they'll totally pull that move again this time won't they"

yeah obviously it's too soon. fuck pitchfork always

reader's poll is why I'd imagine Beach House has a better shot at top 10 than Lemonade
