wow, really surprised WTT isn't higher. Thought it'd be like top 20

I still haven't heard WTT. I didn't like the Diddy record or MBDTF very much, so I'm kind of sceptical about this one... Do you guyses reckon I should give it a go?
At least listen to "No Church In The Wild", "Ni**as In Paris" and "New Day".

there's some pretty good stuff on 'watch the throne' and it sounds huge and expensive and all that good stuff, but a lot of the time the rapping just isn't all that great

"gotta have it" and the singles are classics, and yeah "new day" & "no church in the wild" are dope
in fairness, this is almost always because of Kanye
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
yes, that is true
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 January 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
wow, way lower I would ever expect it to place

lulz #73
i do love "niggas in paris" (erm minus kanye) but i didn't think it was a remarkable album otherwise - occasionally good beats, bit of a slog overall, kanye is mostly supremely annoying

basically I feel like ppl punished this album because My Beautiful Dark Twisted Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Fantasy was overpraised

pretty much agree with this although i often enjoy kanye's terrible raps just because o_O/hilarity

well at least we get to discuss 76 nice records before the gushing over an album of faux-emotional warbling and caterwauling.

Depending on your taste this could apply to every potential winner except Katy B.

well they're all hip-hop, if you didn't like one, you surely won't like the others
re: WTT, appropriate placing for that very mediocre album
― tebow gotti (k3vin k.), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
it sounds huge and expensive and all that good stuff
idk it sounds expensive as in it sounds like it cost a lot of money - it doesn't sound expensive in the GREAT way, ie opulent and fabulous - cf this, which is the most opulent hip-hop beat i've heard in some time

there are also points where Kanye does go all the way through o_O and back into "okay I can fuck with that" territory but I'll be fucked if I can name any of them off the top of my head
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
idk there's def some beats on WTT that sound expensive AND great

Liturgy was #17 in metal poll.I don't know if there's any more 'metal' to come but if you want to check where it placed in the metal poll click here on the poll results/stats on needle Which Glenn does and is awesome.

i unabashedly love kanye just as a personality/celebrity/entity
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:36 (twelve years ago) link
as an addition to P&J/P4k placings.

jesus i really like the first song on this joy formidable album, guitars are just huge

i was listening to the college dropout earlier today and just thinking, goddamn how can anyone give a shit about my beautiful dark stupid fantasy

hooray, my first place vote!! <3 tho tbh, since submitting my ballot i think i've fallen for tune-yards more, but really happy to see this make the top 77.
― ban opinions (reddening), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
I've only listened to the one song from the tracks poll, but I love this kind of thing. Much more realistic interpretation of the New York early-80s L.E.S. scene than things like the Rapture or LCD Soundsystem. Been wanting to hear something that melts up that no-wave/hiphop/disco crossover for a while now.

love the opening lines of "voodoo" so much, particularly her intonation of "wa wa wa wa WITCH!"
― ban opinions (reddening), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
This is such a great album. Only heard it in December and ended up putting it in my top 10.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 30 January 2012 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
Likewise. Wish I'd spent more of the year with it.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 30 January 2012 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
i mentioned it in the tracks thread, but i really dig the sonic contradictions within "dizzy," A LOT

WTT is way better than MBDLMFAOF and it still didn't earn my vote. I am fine with this placement.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
Great cover on the B. Panther.
― jaymc, Monday, 30 January 2012 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
it is kinda weird that even despite a lot of ILX not feeling MBDTF it still placed at #7 last year (and even that was amusingly low), wheres WTT...#73 is nowhere for an album/artists of that profile
