ILM's Top 77 ALBUMS of 2011

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.

then you need to come in outloud.fm

Veronica Falls is pastichey, but it's such a pitch-perfect modern take on '60s death records, for me.

This Veronica Falls album is thoroughly enjoyable.

yeah what were you doing on turntable

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

i think i really don't "get" ilx taste anymore

someone tell me where tim hecker is going to place so i can triangulate

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

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.

You can post tracks from Soundcloud now too.

65. The Psychic Paramount - II (290 points, 9 votes)

P4K: DNP
P&J: 132

yesssssssssssssssssssss

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

oh cool

quality cover!

Surprised KRIT was so low. I'd have thought that was one of the consensus raps albums of the year.

PP II is a great album, for which I voted

one of my favorite albums of the year

what's a good track to check out

Wow! surprised to see Psychic Paramount make it. Happy, but sincerely surprised.

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

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?

i totally missed the voting too :(
will not allow that to curb my opinions here, however.

xpost

xp wasn't a great year for rap albums really

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.

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.

hopefully that didn't embed

I didn't listen to Psychic Paramount enough to vote for it. Will give it more of a go now, I think.

or you can listen to the stuff jeff plays

That Psychic Paramount record is fantastic!

gah i really need to listen to that record

i cut the psychic paramount from my ballot at the very end so glad it still placed

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

Sorry, don't remember it!

all this outloud talk and yet none of you folks are ever on there when i go on (except J3ff T who i suspect is on there 24/7)

when are the parties at??

So have all the PP II voters chimed in already?

what's the name of the music style of the psychic paramount? post-rock-without-the-calm-part-before-the-crescendo?

noise?

psychedelic noise?

Usually a few (or more) people in there during evening hours my time (US Eastern).

midnight uk time -3am seems to be the busiest time in outloud. the house cru used to do before midnight but dunno where they all went the past few months.
bump the outloud thread and people will join though

ok thanks i think i must be showing up too late at night

Hey, I voted for this too. What the hell?

they feel kinda math rock-y to me but with psychedelic overtones

outloud certainly changed jeff's taste in music

second time i've used the phrase "math rock" on this thread, apparently i'm really pining for the return of math rock
