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.

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?

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

idk there's def some beats on WTT that sound expensive AND great

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
― ban opinions (reddening), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
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

yeah, not sure if I even want to listen to that toro y moi album because the cover makes me want to barf
― I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Monday, 30 January 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
This is one of the joys of listening to music in a digital age, guys. I love the Toro y Moi album (it was in my top 5) and didn't even remember that the cover looked like that.
― jaymc, Monday, 30 January 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like toro y moi always place somewhere in the low end or middle of ilx polls and bore me in exactly the same way every time

i always feel like a freak when people go on about that cover being to gross/terrible because i actually find it kind of arresting.

doesn't make it a bad cover imho. i hate looking at it - but that could also make it good?! xpost

yeah, I'm sure they meant the cover to be awful and foul, but that still doesn't mean I have to like it
