i'll admit that the track that made it on the tracks poll is the least bad
i think jay is just as banal as kanye on WTT tbh
i still hate otis but i do like a few songs on WTT. both rappers are ehh at this point, but its def a record that got 'too big to fail'

ok the chorus on "Dizzy" is pretty awesome

See? Already you've stepped back on the "terrible" proclamation.

yeah this thing jordan is trying to sell like jay suddenly remembered how to rap after 7 years is so ??? to me, i just don't hear it at all

xpost but then it goes back to the verses and its terrible again
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
wait a few more seconds I bet the chorus will come back
― tebow gotti (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
i'm on the next song now and it too is terrible

i was the #1 vote for The Joy Formidable! crazy that they placed lower here than on P&J though, i guess we shore don't like them as much as morbz thought.

i listened to that whole album after hearing that song on the tracks poll-- super in to it. what else should i hear by them?
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 02:38 (twelve years ago) link
A Balloon Called Moaning was their 8-song miniLP from 2009 (4 songs reappeared on last year's album, all with (to my dismay) bigger production).

also, listened to austra and veronica falls, found them okayish
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
JF have some good songs that are on neither album, my favorite being "My Beerdrunk Soul Is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees"
― lana del rey: everythang's workin' (some dude), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:17 (twelve years ago) link
austra just makes me want to listen to that jj album from 2009 and the young galaxy album from 2011
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:18 (twelve years ago) link
those are both so much better albums than the austra one tho

Is there anything here I'd probably like that I haven't heard? I've only heard Toro y Moi and the three rap albums.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:38 (twelve years ago) link
even though i have always loved, and of course voted for, thora vukk it keeps growing on me more and more. "ende" is such a beautiful ending track; i'd be p surprised if this (and the title track) didn't convert those not into robag's production prowess on previous EPs. so much warmth
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:39 (twelve years ago) link
"My Beerdrunk Soul Is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees"
Yes! People really need to track down the bonus disc that came with certain versions of the album (not in the States though, I don't think), its called It's Just A World Apart. It has that song shipz is talking about plus "Chwyrlio" a version of "Whirring" in Welsh.

i put young galaxy way too low on my ballot-- did anyone else vote for it?
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
I cooled a lot on that Young Galaxy album.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
I love the sounds made by that YG album, but none of the songs actually keep me coming back.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
i can feel that
― ⚓ (gr8080), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
i, too, loved the production on the YG record but couldn't get over the arts & crafts-y vocals
― psychgawsple, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
i did too although i put it on p recently and liked it again. it sounds like winter vacation i think
― the parable is the parable of the (Lamp), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:47 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe I should pull it out again too, haven't heard it in probably 4 or 5 months.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:47 (twelve years ago) link
there are still a bunch of not v good songs but stuff like 'peripheral visionaries' marries the indie sing-along vocals w/the icy beach vibe really well
― the parable is the parable of the (Lamp), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:53 (twelve years ago) link
Love that track.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:53 (twelve years ago) link
v happy to see the low album here. "'especially me" is my favourite low song since the 'curtain' LP
i haven't fallen for the veronica falls album like some have. it sounds like something i should love, and i don't mind it, but yeah. probably the 5th best album released on slumberland this year.
― fitzroy institution (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:02 (twelve years ago) link
probably the 5th best album released on slumberland this year.
out of curiosity what are your top 4?
― skip, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:06 (twelve years ago) link
1. art museums - dancing with a hole in my heart 7"2 - 5. ???
― the parable is the parable of the (Lamp), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:06 (twelve years ago) link
lol lamp

― fitzroy institution (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:07 (twelve years ago) link
had art museums put out a full length this year it would have totes been my #1
― fitzroy institution (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:08 (twelve years ago) link
last year obv
haha that art museums 7" totally belongs on grady's list of awesome songs not nominated for ilm eoy poll
i think that and the devon williams 7" are the only things on slumberland i bought this year

Tried listening to a couple songs. I really don't like that dude's voice. The music was nice and all but not compelling enough to make up for the singer.
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
missed the countdown as usual, today stuff:
as far as post-Silent Shout stuff goes, I couldn't get very excited about Austra/Emika/Barbara Panther/Planningtorock. Did vote for Gazelle Twin, love that one.
I voted for WTT, admittedly because the highs were pretty towering for me this year. only thing i voted for that wasn't really solid all the way through.
Toro Y Moi: That cover is amazing, especially for a dude who looks like the ultimate safe boring hipster. he puts on a great live show too.
Joy Formidable: this is okay, but I still like Ostrich the best, and considering it's the rawest track on their debut e.p. (and didn't get re-released on the Big Roar) I don't think I have much of a future with these guys. Like Crystal Antlers - loved em till they cleaned up
― Cosmo Vitelli, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 04:57 (twelve years ago) link
I really like the When Saints Go Machine album, "Church & Law" is the standout track for me. For such an unusual album its resonance feel very precise - Black Celebration X I Am A Bird Now X Silent Shout x Comicopera.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 05:13 (twelve years ago) link
Toro Y Moi: That cover is amazing
OTM, surprises me that so many seem to hate it. one of the strongest, most beautiful, distinctive and memorable pieces of album art i saw last year.
