The Nala Sinephro mixing is particularly astounding. One of the best sounding records on the countdown imo.

Tala Tannam is a very beautiful acoustic track; I retract the 'Judas' which was a joke anyway :p
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:30 (two years ago) link
This is the first of the several albums that had 3 songs place on the track list to show up

a fine debut but kind of obviously a padded out EP, it’s too high here but it was too high on every year-end list

i guess that’s my version of dissing the modern-day jagged little pill which would’ve been no. 13 on ilm’s ‘95 list i assume

B-tier Dawn is still good, albeit this is very B-tier for her

her discog is so multifaceted at this point. love this record
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 11 February 2022 15:49 (two years ago) link
ok so those are two out of the three albums i listened to and loved the most last year, pretty sure the other one isn't placing

I'm surprised that the Sinephro record is that high too, really good record though and it does sound incredible. For fans of it I'd also recommend that John Carroll Kirby record 'Septet' from last year, it's also incredibly produced.

― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:54 (two years ago) link
I basically agree with both Brad and imago about this album, which I voted for but was a little less viscerally thrilled by compared to last few
― rob, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:55 (two years ago) link
sinephro has been on my list for months, i'll put it on this afternoon
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Friday, 11 February 2022 15:55 (two years ago) link
I hate to say it, but seeing the Dawn cover zoomed in like that, it's kind of wack
― rob, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:56 (two years ago) link
how is it possible Dawn is getting more interesting with each album

I like Dawn Richard but calling the album 'Second Line' and including those little audio clips talking about New Orleans and second line culture, but the music having zero reference to it, it drives me a little crazy. I mean it's part of her culture and she's not beholden to it, but still.
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
yeah this is good - brilliant at points - and L'Rain deserves plenty of attention (and your attendance at any gig she performs near you, seriously), but this is a classic case of a merely-good record getting the props that its masterpiece predecessor failed to get at the time
lol @ 11 in both polls tho, c'mon
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
listened to Second Line way more than.... anything else that i didn't find room for on my ballot. Feels bad!only really vibed with track 1 on the L'Rain but I'll go back

on the plus side, I put the album on and I wonder if I've been underrating it

Space 1.8 is so, so good for a debut. Only listened to L'Rain once but was really impressed--need to go back. Second Line rules. Was very high on my ballot. Getting a bit nervous about Arooj Aftab but thinking she could be top 10?
― Indexed, Friday, 11 February 2022 16:10 (two years ago) link
Aftab will place, don't worry

pulling for an aftab #1, but no way she beats too low

she's got the obama seal of approval. even if she doesn't win the popular vote, she can rely the electoral college.

Billie who, I'm sure the top 5 will be Soccer96, Pino Palladino & Blake Mills, Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes, Tristan Arp, and John Coltrane.

she's my #1 so I also briefly indulged this fantasy, but Low not winning would be a stunning upset
