ah ok NA, sorry, I'm feeling sensitive on ilx today. Obvs it wasn't my most profound observation ever, but I was sort of responding to some of the earlier talk from Tim F and Nabozo about not keeping up with things

also I didn't get into the Mr Twin Sister album but the thread getting bumped prompted me to listen to the first two, which loved, so maybe I'll find my way to this one in 5 years

What if Anne Bourne is 78.
I actually like that one song from the Cassandra Jenkins album, I should give the whole thing another go. It's been a minute.

Cassandra Jenkins album is entirely lovely (if not entirely lively).

I'm assuming Kacey Musgraves is shut out at this point? I enjoyed that one and had it in the lower reaches of my ballot, but I'm not sure it will make it into the top 20 - something of an upset after she placed #2 in 2018.

Probably my biggest let-down of 2021. Was really looking forward to it but in the end, the best parts were merely okay.

I ordered that Raum album, I remember the first one was very understated but looking forward to this one.

Seven of my 25 have placed so far, and at this point I only expect another 3, possibly 4. Don't think my #1 is gonna make it.

8 out of 20 for me. These are the albums I voted for that have made it... I'm surprised I have more albums placing than past years... I guess I was more in touch with the ILM Hivemind this time.

I've placed 7 so far - I'm expecting another 8 or 9 to make the top 15 though. I've been enjoying the rollout - I like everything on it that I've heard, and am enjoying catching up on things I've missed like Heisei No Oto and Howie Lee.
― aphoristical, Friday, 11 February 2022 01:23 (two years ago) link
voted for cassandra jenkins, grouper, koreless, mr twin sister and lil ugly mane.
only thing here i don't think i've heard is the sons of kemet.
do not really get the armed, tirzah and dean blunt much at all. sault & little simz both pretty underwhelming - the little simz album starts off strong but really runs out of steam towards the end. the concept & interludes are all extremely corny unfortunately.
i looooved erika de casier's debut but this one was just decent. melodies didn't quite grab me in the same way.
cfcf album had some nice moments but was just ok overall, didn't manage to recreate the same magic as liquid colours in this different style.
― ufo, Friday, 11 February 2022 01:46 (two years ago) link
ime you have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy the Tirzah and Dean Blunt albums.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 11 February 2022 02:09 (two years ago) link
They’re like idk Gaspar Noe or Lars Von Trier films.
I really liked the Koreless Yugen EP in 2013 but didn't keep up with them at all. Hm.
OK, I'm glad I checked this out.

Hell yeah this rollout is amazing. Koreless was my #2. Erika de Casier was off my ballot and I have regrets about that. Men I Trust was amazing. CFCF was on my ballot, as was Little Simz, who I will be seeing live on my birthday. Can't wait for the top 17

With my votes for Henki, Agor, SIMBI, Nine, Sensational, SoK and depending how many place today, I might be at a record in the top 26 or top 33. Or it might all crumble. I have high hopes that 333, Vulture Prince, Mother, Happier than Ever, Hey What, and Mercurial World will place. I also have hopes for Spiral and Collapsed in Sunbeams, although nothing from them showed up in tracks shockingly. I guess any more jazz is out of the equation, though I didn't vote for 1.8, Promises or Open the Gates and jazz is suddenly very contentious apparently (not that surprising for a genre experiencing a sort of comeback after 40 years), and I don't suppose we will see Haram.

HTRK would have been high on my ballot (possibly number one) if I'd gotten round to listening to their album before voting
― paolo, Friday, 11 February 2022 08:52 (two years ago) link
have placed 4 and am expecting 0 more, but that isn't going to stop me listening to your offerings with pitiless judgement
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 09:01 (two years ago) link
had always thought of CFCF unkindly before, probably for irrational reasons, but this is pretty engrossing. 'gravure idol' just finished & was particularly so. if we're not going to get death's dynamic shroud, this will have to do instead, lol

Have placed 4 and am expecting 1 more, which for me feels very hivemindy! Given up hope on the Chants album placing, though ;_;

well I mean I didn't vote for it but L'Rain is one of mine in spirit maybe
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 10:29 (two years ago) link
L’Rain will probably be the only one of my votes to turn up in this last stretch
I’ll echo a few other posters - this has been a year when a surprisingly high number of my votes surfaced in the rollout (and a lot of things surfaced that I’d heard but didn’t vote for)

Haha I saw CFCF roll by and initially thought "right so that Something Something Coastal Fever band has shortened its name, maybe a good move, I can never remember it correctly".

Lol christ, wonder if we've dodged Parquet Courts as well. ILM at least avoiding much of the worst of the new post-punk. Dry Cleaning, whom I'm listening to right now, are pretty good I think

My first skip was Can, towards the end of the opening 20 minute jam. Not horrible by any means, but just not something I need.
I made it all the way through GY!BE, which must be a lifetime first, but my constant thought was "basically this = the Swans it's still OK to like". It didn't give me anything that Swans used to give me more of.
