YAY! I was thinking that it wouldn't place as the lowest stuff got so many votes.

veronica falls!! "misery" is my favorite, but really the whole thing is really solid. yaaay!

I voted for this!
― Gamera died for our sins (J3ff T.), Monday, 30 January 2012 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
This and ILXulu are probably going to be my only choices to place. Of course, I don't actually remember what else I voted for, so…
I'm happy to see Veronica Falls. Would never have heard of it or voted for it without emil.y and outloud, so thanks!
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 30 January 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
xpi am glad that the low album made it. i am not too familiar with them but of what i heard c'mon was the most accessible and most enchanting album. i have seen them live twice and i guess they are maybe my favourite live band for the time being. there is this certain spiritual, charming, warm atmosphere at a low concert which i have never really felt at other concerts (lambchop came close once when they toured nixon). the album seems very easy to get into and for that i thought it was somehow a little on the light side at the beginning. but in the end it was the album i listened most to in 2011 and i never got tired of their seemingly simple harmonies and tunes. there is something holy about it.

xp Yeah I was thinking this is kind of the first victory of the Outloud era
― two lights crew (seandalai), Monday, 30 January 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, me too. I remember what I voted for though, and I can confirm that it will probably not make it if it hasn't yet. Still, Veronica Falls is extremely palatable and has that perfect balance of sweet and sour.
Totally an outloud victory!! And an Emil.y victory because I wouldn't have listened to this if not for her.
― La Lechera, Monday, 30 January 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
I'd credit outloud with "Nyan Cat Theme" as well. xp
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 30 January 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
This probably isn't unique to Low, but did everyone who voted for "C'mon" see them live and get blown away?
― two lights crew (seandalai), Monday, 30 January 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah Nyan counts too I guess.

surprised to see the Veronica Falls album make the list. I thought this fit really well with a lot of the 90's stuff I used to be obsessed with, but then I played some tracks in an indiepop room on Turntable or wherever and people were not happy with me. my guess was that those people didn't really like noisy guitars.
― fffv, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
then you need to come in outloud.fm
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
Veronica Falls is pastichey, but it's such a pitch-perfect modern take on '60s death records, for me.
― emil.y, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
This Veronica Falls album is thoroughly enjoyable.

I posted a track from it in the Chicago thread once but no one ever responded ;_;

Tim Hecker will be @ #17

Nothing posted so far is really "out there" (except maybe Liturgy, but ILX has always had a metal underbelly). xps
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
as I remember it, Outloud required me to have access to the actual files, which meant I was rarely in a place where I could use it. if this is inaccurate, please feel free to correct me elsewhere.
― fffv, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
You can post tracks from Soundcloud now too.

one of my favorite albums of the year
I guess I should've voted in this so that I could complain that the Big K.R.I.T. is TOO LOW

Surprised KRIT was so low. I'd have thought that was one of the consensus raps albums of the year.
― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Monday, 30 January 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
PP II is a great album, for which I voted

Wow! surprised to see Psychic Paramount make it. Happy, but sincerely surprised.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
btw i somehow missed the voting for this so whenever i say i like an album just imagine that it's a couple of places higher on the list
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 January 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
Yay! to The Psychic Paramount.

Have been meaning to check this out for ages, but it's not on Spotify...can anyone point to a track or two on Soundcloud/Youtube?
― two lights crew (seandalai), Monday, 30 January 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
i totally missed the voting too :(will not allow that to curb my opinions here, however.

Woohoo, another one I voted for! This album really respects the sound of the inside of my head.

You can, or you can also hang out and talk nonsense while letting other people pick some fine tunes for you to listen to.
― emil.y, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
ha i don't really remember which tracks are which because they have really indistinct titles ... try this: http://youtu.be/4s1ppHxvzIg

Probably should have voted for that, but found it really exhausting to listen to all that much.
