OHH U GOT ME

maffew12, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:57 (six years ago)

surprised it's this low

octobeard, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

My #1!

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

damn

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

I am glad that this competent indie rock isn't any higher.

Matt DC, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

Vote splitting will do that I guess!

monotony, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

well that's it for my ballot see y'all later

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:58 (six years ago)

Def had that down as either #1 or #2.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:59 (six years ago)

man, did this one take a while to sink in; glad I invested. "Cattails" and "Jenni" were the icebreakers.

CRJ is great. 'I'll Be Your Girl' is my favourite off this for its irrepressible chorus, but I'm sure I need to listen to the whole thing much more.

Surely Big Thief has been votesplit? Oh, maybe not...

tangenttangent, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:59 (six years ago)

Tuomas, it's safe to return.

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:59 (six years ago)

I'm secretly hoping Thee Oh Sees sneaks in there and surprises everyone somehow... but yeah not gonna happen

octobeard, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:59 (six years ago)

i think the release of Two Hands both highlighted this album by 2019 being such an impressive twofer achievement and yet probably also split the vote a bit idk.

omar little, Thursday, 6 February 2020 21:59 (six years ago)

"Steange" is the sleeper track that y'all should check out.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:00 (six years ago)

'everything he needs' was made for driving aimlessly around with someone you're falling in love with and i used the whole album for that purpose last year so how could i not vote for it

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:00 (six years ago)

Mmmm but surely our number 3 had placed already no?

UFOF too low

Indexed, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:01 (six years ago)

... well now i hope weyes blood wins

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:01 (six years ago)

Wow, LDR and Weyes Blood, huh?

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:01 (six years ago)

They moved out West.

They forged a nautical friendship.

They covered Joni Mitchell together.

They had vastly different songwriting capabilities.

But which would finish higher in the ILM poll?

We awaited judgement...

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:01 (six years ago)

i am not gonna complain about ldr anymore though i've sworn an oath

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:02 (six years ago)

Everything hinges on this tbh

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:02 (six years ago)

The weird thing is, I kind of felt like ILM wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Titanic Rising

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:02 (six years ago)

okay this is surprising. thought those were def gonna be top 2

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:02 (six years ago)

was this the second fakeout

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:03 (six years ago)

not discounting that tbh

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:03 (six years ago)

I'm predicting #2 is JPEGMAFIA and #1 is Nick Cave or Tool

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:03 (six years ago)

Has to be Weyes Blood. And that would make a great number one. LDR... You do not like to see it.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:04 (six years ago)

i just assumed weyes blood was gonna be #1 from the start, did not realize people liked the ldr anywhere near as much as it though

ciderpress, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:04 (six years ago)

This is not a joke placement. PM is our numero tres.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:04 (six years ago)

Ok. let's get this over with.

nxd, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:05 (six years ago)

Well well. I had no idea ILM was so crazy about either of these. but I'm glad Weyes Blood won

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:05 (six years ago)

WOW! Love this album <3

Indexed, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:05 (six years ago)

Narrowly missed having an album with a Sublime cover top this thing.

Chris L, Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:05 (six years ago)

Going to karaoke tonight; hope "Andromeda" is offered.

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 6 February 2020 22:06 (six years ago)

the weyes blood album was indeed better than the lana album
