And they're called big thief as well, talk about hiding in plain sight

i don't agree with big thief's release schedule rly either but if you gotta go you gotta go

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:23 (six years ago)

Surely that's the reason why it *was* used as the fake 51, so it would be a shocker when it actually wins?

Tuomas, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:23 (six years ago)

we should poll 'best pair of albums in a single calendar year', the fall could do p well in that. or ultravox!

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:24 (six years ago)

real #51 was Lampchop iirc

let's talk about gecs baby (sleeve), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:24 (six years ago)

Never really listened to much NC before but thought Ghosteen was fantastic xps

groovypanda, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:24 (six years ago)

xxp Creedence would walk that

let's talk about gecs baby (sleeve), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:24 (six years ago)

Herbie Hancock would be the winner of that poll with Sextant and Head Hunters in 1973.

Tuomas, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:25 (six years ago)

the purple mountains placement will be revealed as fake when he wins the whole poll

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:26 (six years ago)

Shame the later didn't come out lol xp

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:26 (six years ago)

a mediocre taylor swift album placing higher than burna boy is a crime

ufo, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:28 (six years ago)

I agree.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:28 (six years ago)

Talking Book & Innervisions were only about 9 months apart but think they straddled calendar years

groovypanda, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:28 (six years ago)

hott

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:29 (six years ago)

burna boy needs a netflix doc

ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:29 (six years ago)

i agree that taylor shouldn't be above burna or jamila

well she's above burna on my list but that's personal

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:30 (six years ago)

I'd be interested in the avg age of the voters for this

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:30 (six years ago)

i'm 12

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:30 (six years ago)

*high fives euler AGAIN*

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:31 (six years ago)

also kinda surprised that nick cave hasn't shown up considering skeleton tree did decently in 2016, but i guess i'm the only one who significantly preferred ghosteen

ariana also too high but i guess my problem with that record is just "break up with your girlfriend" and "7 rings" are huge duds that ruin it near the end

ufo, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:31 (six years ago)

Sorry for the uneven schedule in results everyone! I was a bit busy but I'm ready to deliver the final 6!

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:31 (six years ago)

I should not read this thread

― brimstead, Thursday, February 6, 2020 3:28 PM (sixteen minutes ago)

yah kinda glad I was busy all day and didn't have time to rage out at some terrible takes

rob, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:31 (six years ago)

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:31 (six years ago)

Booming record. Rushomancy's posts about this album still resonate with me.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:33 (six years ago)

beard papa, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:35 (six years ago)

omar little, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

I (DON'T) KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL

||||||||, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

Listening it now.

Is it like Big Thief

TURN IT OVER LET IT SPIN.

Matt DC, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

so it's a rave sampler cd from early 90s?

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

didn't end up voting for this but i'm happy enough to see it this high

ufo, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

DJP, I wasn't able to see the image in your reply to me.

With considerable charm, you still have made a choice (Sund4r), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:36 (six years ago)

Bat For Lashes put out her strongest album in 2019. Didn't expect top 5 but surely she doesn't miss out altogether, still enough love for her round here? Daniel won a tracks poll iirc

or something, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:41 (six years ago)

For an album that seems so straightforward and easy to get in its charms, I feel like the emotional heft of resonant bodies increases by a surprising extent with an understanding of its context.
