feeling good that my first place vote prob helped this brilliant statement of intent to make the 77
― lex pretend, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:16 (nine years ago) link
awesome start
nicki dropping this and "boss ass bitch" back to back at the beginning of the year felt so incredibly exciting. and promising...
― prolego, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:19 (nine years ago) link
quite funny that despite a record number of ballots, the #77 track only needed 5 votes (last year, #77 got 9 votes)
bears out what matt dc was saying -
Feel like there are relatively few consensus tracks this year, there's a load of stuff that could sneak in that might not in any other year.

it's a good point - i'm guessing the proof would be a significant increase in nominated tracks?

147 I think
― groovypanda, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:27 (nine years ago) link
Lookin Ass [song + video] was definitely a high point of 2014, though it was one of many difficult cuts for my ballot.
― rob, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:27 (nine years ago) link
yeah 147 ballots were submitted

i'm guessing "boss ass bitch" will place. maybe "anaconda"? idk if it's a consensus song but it was certainly the think piece single of the year.

― rob, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:33 (nine years ago) link
i voted for this!
there aren't any bad moments on the album and so many highlights it was incredibly hard to choose a favourite, but after quite some weighing up, it was this one for the 'do you agree? / i disagree' part.
― this is just a saginaw (dog latin), Monday, 19 January 2015 13:33 (nine years ago) link
yeh great albumnommed the riverbed rather than the album but a few considering this were in contention

this song like the whole album is utterly brilliant. did not vote for it but 'the riverbed' got an exceptional placement instead. very glad this has shown up
― rae sredrum (imago), Monday, 19 January 2015 13:59 (nine years ago) link
is the title a John Cage ref.? also the video has the people dancing, not random enough tho'.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 19 January 2015 13:59 (nine years ago) link
Love the OP album and it has a bunch of special moments inside songs, but I don't really think I have a favourite track.

Do you agree or disagree?There’s a gap between what a man want and what a man will receive.The sun has set on me.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:06 (nine years ago) link
is it 'do you agree or disagree?' or 'do you agree? / I disagree'? always heard it as a dialogue. small differences, but whatever.
― this is just a saginaw (dog latin), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:08 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I've had a different favourite every time I've played In Conflict. Happy to see this one make it. Looking forward to seeing where the album places next week.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 19 January 2015 14:08 (nine years ago) link
Not sure how many of my faves will place this year, but whatever, this is a good start!

This album has more standout tracks than whokill even if it's not as memorable, if that makes sense.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:14 (nine years ago) link
And i already know that one from the radio

― saer, Monday, 19 January 2015 14:14 (nine years ago) link
A friend recommended the album but it really set my teeth on edge at first. Seeing her at a festival really turned me around though and Water Fountain was prob the highlight. Only voted for the album mind you.
― ewar woowar (or something), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:15 (nine years ago) link
Think if you're expecting a bunch of anonymous deep house saer you may be disappointed.

― gr8080, Monday, 19 January 2015 14:17 (nine years ago) link
Voted for the album rather than any of the tracks, though if I did, "Sink-O" would've been my pick.
― That shit right there is precedented. (cryptosicko), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:17 (nine years ago) link
The album was the final one cut from my ballot, so I placed the single a bit higher on my trackballot to make up for it. Good song, good band. Album not as good as last one.

That comment from flopson a few years back about listening to tUnE-yArDs is like accidentally walking into a room where someone is vigorously masturbating has never really left me I'm afraid :/
― MikoMcha, Monday, 19 January 2015 14:23 (nine years ago) link
nicki (or more accurately, young money as a "movement") almost always rubs me the wrong way but i still gotta give lookin ass a few more listens before i dismiss this outright. it didn't do much for me at all when i first heard it and I much prefer the hot stylez version
5&6 is prob my fave on the album but i think 'in conflict' deserves acclaim as a complete statement more so than chopping it up into pieces. in any case, this is gorgeous
i voted for water fountain though i'm not generally so taken with 'nikki nack'. 'WhoKill' and 'birdbrains' had a stridency and vitality 'nikki' is missing, though there's enough quality on here to not dismiss it entirely (Time of Dark, Wait for a Minute, Left Behind and Rocking Chair are other standouts). Nikki sounds like an artist trying to decide what they want to say next, which is fine. I'm into merrill for the long haul. Water Fountain is pretty massive tho; prob the best white girl struggle track of the year.
― Sounds like a forks display name (forksclovetofu), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:24 (nine years ago) link
I lump Tune-Yards in with Fiery Furnaces and Planningtorock - woozy electronic indie which I admire for its originality, but find just too abstruse to listen to for more than a couple of tracks.
― this is just a saginaw (dog latin), Monday, 19 January 2015 14:25 (nine years ago) link

it's like Seth Rogen cutting off Angela Lansbury.

i dunno, i like it. switches the track up a bit and provides a foil to Tinashe's hazed-out delivery. I haven't spent enough time paying much attention to the lyrics tho

2014 an incredible year to revisit. One of my favorite years for music in the last decade, no question. The range of styles, the explosion of afropop, deep tech, the ty dolla sign stimulus, thug + keef expanding the grammar of music, rae sremmurd bringing back commercial teen rap, the evolution of chicago drill, the commercial peak of mustardwave before it became clammy and dead, the stuff bubbling with no streaming to channel it. it was so easy to find cool shit! underrated shit, especially. i miss that era of internet and music discovery so much.

― ufo, Friday, 24 September 2021 11:30 (three years ago) link
I still have a lot of love for Seasons and that band in general. They do seem to be in a bit of a holding pattern, but there's something so comforting about them they kind of get away with it. The Far Field was a better album than Singles. Last album was great too.
― kitchen person, Friday, 24 September 2021 13:44 (three years ago) link
to me they're a band that seemed like they were always on the verge of making an excellent album and then it just never happened, they just ran out of ideas
― ufo, Friday, 24 September 2021 13:50 (three years ago) link
Seeing as I discovered this band much later do you think the future islands singer was inspired by the young gods ? Thinking of like “did you miss me”

no, not really, except that they're both straight guy songs
― Dan S, Friday, 24 September 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
future islands singer does occasionally delve into that territory but its pretty much always a bad idea when he does
― ufo, Friday, 24 September 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
don't mean it as a criticism. No Flex Zone and especially No Type are total straight guy stuff but are two of my favorite tracks of 2014. I like Seasons also
― Dan S, Friday, 24 September 2021 23:45 (three years ago) link
I’m talking about how he makes his voice sound in the parts that made their one famous song go viral. Not sure what it has to do w being straight, I just mean that the way he growls sounds like he might have been a fan 🤷🏻♂️
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Saturday, 25 September 2021 04:41 (three years ago) link
That's just the heavy metal cookie monster growl. I mean, maybe he was influenced by that but it's in a lot of other music (not so much synth pop though)
