21. Four Tet - There Is Love in Youthis is about as high as four tet's been all year; a fucking shame, as it's his best album, and one of my top 5 or so of the year :(

Same. Might not be as groundbreaking as many others, but it's one of the few that I never got tired of after months and months of replays.

random thoughts on pfork traxxx list:
don't get the big deal w/r/t "round and round" -- i mean it's okay, but.....?
worst song on the LCD album at #3 = looool
can't believe "fuck you" is stuck at #26, that is CRIMINAL
think "CMYK" is the better james blake track..
worst sleigh bells song at #14, there's a reason the album is awesome but none of the other songs sound like fucking "rill rill"
oh, and wasn't "exhibit c" from '09?
― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:40 (thirteen years ago) link
p4k list has a lot right on it!
but i'm shocked about the placement of "i can change"
― ok (Tape Store), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:55 (thirteen years ago) link
and "rill rill" is beautiful (my no. 1 last year!)
― ok (Tape Store), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:57 (thirteen years ago) link
If this is true maybe I might actually give that album a chance.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't think that SB album would stick with me as well as it has
re: I can change, do you think there's a better track on the album, Tape Store?
― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't think i would label any song from that album a "standout," but at least I see how p4k could (stupidly) think "'All I Want' = our '"Heroes"'!!!
― ok (Tape Store), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:08 (thirteen years ago) link

IMO this is the best P4k EOY Track list in years. The last two or three had some real garbage, but this one seems pretty OTM for their audience and taste.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:17 (thirteen years ago) link
it does seem like a lot of the choices are right, among the artists that they rep for
― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Tainted by Newsom in the top 10...otherwise, it's decent.
― Lightning Is For Babies (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:21 (thirteen years ago) link
but if you were to pick any one track on that album to represent it, that would be it
― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:23 (thirteen years ago) link

21. Azari & III - "Reckless (With Your Love) (Tensnake Remix)"
this is one of the most overrated trax of the year imo - don't get me wrong i really, really like it, would bruk out in a club, it's a lot of fun - but if you're going to reward azari & iii or tensnake or that sort of music, there's a lot better out there, and it all just looks a bit like a really lame "lolz i recognise a c&c music factory sample lolz" reaction.

James Blake vocal album to dominate next year's lists? I'm pretty perplexed at the hype he's getting.
― Number None, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 09:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I can't be the only person that thought LCD were spudjged out at #12 and was surprised to see them reappear at #3. I don't mind 'I Can Change' but it does sound like it was written to be bedding music on a top 100 countdown. In fact I'll be prepared to bet it gets used in Channel 4's Top 100 Toys this weekend.
― Mitchell Stirling, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 09:11 (thirteen years ago) link
me too - i find his stuff pretty lifeless and awkward tbh. it's weird, i hear music by a ton of producers in this scene, and i actively dislike very very few - when it's bad it's just boring or uninspired - but i def dislike his stuff. and yet, here we are, crossover hype. it should be girl unit getting all of this tbh.

Suppose he ticks a lot of boxes, dubstep influence, messing around with R&B samples but moving towards more traditional songcraft. Yep, he's gonna be inescapable.

I definitely agree with this.
I was surprised it was I Can Change so high, I do like it but Dance Yrself Clean is obviously the best song on that album.
Pleased with their Arcade Fire choice in the top 10, I wasn't a fan of the album at all but that's a great song.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
not a list per se, but i always enjoy reading dusted magazine's idiosyncratic year-end wrap-up feature.

Yeah, no matter what other lists do Dusted is guaranteed to be 90% stuff I never knew existed.

So glad to see "Desire Lines" up that high. I realize it wasn't an official "single" and thats why it hasn't been popping up on lists that are defined by such, but such an amazing song.

Wait Ned, you've been avoiding Sleigh Bells because of "Rill Rill"??? Did no one tell you that there are 2/3 songs on there where they are channeling Lush via dance beats?
― "Kiss Players♥" (DJP), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
I've heard a rumor to the effect. (Crucial difference between them and School of Seven Bells -- the latter did not have a really annoying song oversold to me as the greatest new thing around that put me off further investigation.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I have to agree with the general anti-"Rill Rill" sentiment. I like the song just fine and think it's a nice little respite on the album, but it seems weird that a publication such as Pitchfork would praise the band with great hyperbole for it's trademark sound and then pick the one song where they do the complete opposite sound as the best example of their musical talent. "Tell Em'" seems the obvious choice to me.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I like "Rill Rill" well enough but that is so not my go-to song on the album; that would be "Run the Heart":
