ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2019

Hoping for one more, two at best.

anywhere between 4 and 6 left for me imo. today wasn't for me rly even though i placed 2, same as y/day

only three of my votes have placed so far, but there's a hell of a lot of albums i've heard and liked

i think 7-8 of my votes still have a shot tbh

been a bunch of stuff by acts i like but haven't caught up with

but i'm saying a prayer for my #1 :(

great list already again :)

I've only had one placement (Chemical Bros), one I really hope to see (Underworld) and one that's definitely coming (that Pacific Breeze City Pop comp)

#57 – Samthing Soweto – Isiphithiphithi (220 points, 7 votes)

12-13 of my votes have yet to place but i'm pretty sure they will

Okay, if Ancestral Recall makes it I will be very happy :)

i would love to get surprised by tinashe (maybe!), jimmy eat world, khidja & balabas, slipknot, topdown dialectic etc. but i think it would've already happened

12-13 of my votes have yet to place but i'm pretty sure they will

Had no idea the city pop comp could still place would love it if it did I gave it a high vote

:)

two of my ballot placed so far (Samthing & Koffee), I expect another seven (that includes Tinashe, Brad!).

Looks like CFCF is not going to make it :(

having watched five seasons of terrace house i would not care to hear city pop ever again lol

i guess this is archival stuff, might be a bit different from & better than the stuff certain TH housemates have purveyed

I really thought Love And Affection For Stupid Little Bitches would get in but I guess not now...

Tinashe also on my "will place" list, I guess this whole hivemind thing isn't total bs

I really thought Love And Affection For Stupid Little Bitches would get in but I guess not now...

;_;

Still holding out for CFCF (Night Bus 4 is my favourite thing of his this year, but would love the album to place).

5 of mine have placed. I figure another 5 have a decent shot at placing. Good year for me.

I've had 3 votes place so far.

I also voted for 'Love And Affection For Stupid Little Bitches' but yeah I guess it would have probably shown up by now

I didn't think anyone cared about Tinashe any more.

CFCF is a lock, don’t sweat it.

Pressed for time but: I get Pom about feeling KM being a scam, but boy did I fall for that record.

last years tinashe album was sooooo good
probs prefer it to aquarius

"this experimental music is a scam" = "my kid could paint that" = dumb

I didn't think anyone cared about Tinashe any more.

yeah tinashe burned through quite a lot of goodwill with the releases following aquarius but last year's effort was surprisingly decent.

lol brad I would be surprised if anyone other than you and I had even listened to the khidja & balabas album

I mean obv in a just world it would be top five or something

I didn’t vote for Black Dresses this year because I was still processing and enjoying WASTEISOLATION and then they released a million other things and it was too much. I love an album every 2-3 years.

Turns out... I did, Tim. But didn’t it come out in 2018?

"this experimental music is a scam" = "my kid could paint that" = dumb

It’s ok when it’s me doing it though. Also lol @ calling it ‘experimental’.

all art is a scam ultimately. none of it is real.

lol brad I would be surprised if anyone other than you and I had even listened to the khidja & balabas album

my assumption as well! everyone itt listen to the khidja & balabas record

i guess it came out in november 2018 but imo whatever

It is awesome and everyone should hear it, yes.

listed as 2019 on spotify. listening now

I get that, yeah. I mostly can't deal with over-prolific artists myself, and didn't spend much time with Thank You partly for this reason, but I thought LAAFSLB was really really good. Think I was so confident it would at least sneak in is because I figured it would have the imago-tt tag team behind it, but now you've revealed your lack of vote I'm much more convinced it's not made it.

Yeah I think k&b only got a wide release last year.

Xp Aaah it is really good, I kind of regret not voting for it. I still think it has a chance.

Hooray for Liturgy and glass beach placing today!

Glad I placed the Andy Stott high, probably got it in. Now listening to the Holly Herndon for the first time and thinking damn I should have placed that higher

Yes excellent to see the glass beach album place

some good stuff, enjoying this k&b record - what's their story?

'love and affection...' just missed my final 25 iirc

I reconsidered on listening to this album. It did take a while tho.

i voted for theon cross btw. And Tinashe i think! She just announced her new tour.

This Chemical Brothers is good; thanks for getting me to listen!
