Ugh, really? Evans the Death? They sound like fucking Echobelly.

I'm not surpised to see Grimes on these lists, but can't exactly figure how this is the best of the year. To me, the Grimes album is decent, but a bit amaturish and underproduced. I enjoyed it early on but reached the point of diminishing returns months ago.
― Moodles, Monday, 3 December 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
tbf, haven't heard (of) Evans the Death, but "sounds like Echobelly" doesn't automatically turn me off ("sounds like Sleeper" might be better tho)

part of the charm imo. haven't listened to it for awhile except for the singles though.

Ha, "sounds like Sleeper" would have me shooting myself in the face. You should probably give them a go.

I'd like to replace every occurrence of Grimes and Purity Ring with Tinashe and Chromatics.

Purity Ring can stay, I love that album
I keep forgetting there was yet another fantastic Lone album this year

I don't hate the Grimes album but I'm kind of pleased to see it not make that list, while Baroness, Torche and Pallbearer did.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 3 December 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
KUDOS FOR NICKI! first list to acknowledge that it's actually really good
kudos for santigold too, no 10 seems high but it's been weirdly overlooked elsewhere considering how strong the strongest cuts on it are
― #YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
"I Belong In Your Arms" will make my own list but I couldn't make it through the rest of the Chairlift record.
I was glad to see Chairlift as his #2; it will likely be my own #1.
― Sax Blatterday (jaymc), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
I was surprised to see Santigold there - it's been ignored everywhere else - but the good tracks are great. Same goes for Chairlift.
From the bottom of Nitsuh's list (though not written by Nitsuh):
Lana Del ReyJanuary’s most controversial pop starlet was old news by February.
Yes, unless you count selling over 2 million albums.

The Lone album is great! Probably in my top 5 for the year.
Many xposts...
― Moodles, Monday, 3 December 2012 18:23 (eleven years ago) link
DJ Rashad at #4 is GOOD LIST-MAKING.
― a funny thing happened on the way to the forum (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:24 (eleven years ago) link
The Chairlift album has maybe two low points in the whole thing. Not keen on that lyric about runnin people over in a car, and that last one Guilty As Charged but on the whole it's jam packed with neat little flourishes and catchy tunes. The Talabot remix of I Belong is also great and should have been a bonus track
― make like a steak and beef (dog latin), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
I went through about three tracks on the Chairlift album thinking "oh hey, this is really nice" and then I hit a wall and desperately needed to play something else
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:26 (eleven years ago) link
Talabot remix is better than anything on the album imo.

I'm listening to this Lone album right now and it's setting me on edge. FIND THE BEAT, A-HOLES!
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 3 December 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link
I Belong, Take It Out on Me, Ghost Tonight and Met Before are all killer. In a different era they'd have enough material to be pop stars.

The time signatures of the drums/percussion seem to be absolutely random much of the time. That's probably not true, but they're more complex than I feel like bothering with. xp
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 3 December 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link
I definitely rc enjoying that Lone album, should probably revisit it at some point.
― a Christmas .gif for you from (seandalai), Monday, 3 December 2012 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
The beats on the Lone album are definitely highly syncopated, but they don't strike me as particularly random
― Moodles, Monday, 3 December 2012 18:41 (eleven years ago) link

I don't even like "I Belong In Your Arms," but the Talabot remix is the best remix I've heard this year.

fewer than Grimes but more than like Kathleen Edwards

I really live Sharon Von Etten, but I think the new one is mostly boring. I don't feel like she needs to be catering to the Paste crowd.

Animal Collective really blew it this time, huh? They haven't even enjoyed any of the post-breakthrough momentum that disappointing follow-ups often get (hello The xx).

It's cool, I'm not a rhythm ace. I just don't find that kind of madhouse dodging of 4/4 too enjoyable.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 3 December 2012 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
xp How so? It got way more attention and sales than any of their previous albums.
― Deafening silence (DL), Monday, 3 December 2012 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
THERE IS NO DODGING OF 4/4 ON THE ALBUM, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SONG IS IN 4/4
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 3 December 2012 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
Uncut sure loves the hell out of Ty Segall, with three of his albums in their list. I agree with Spin that Twins is the best one. When I first heard his name a few years ago, I that he was a rapper, lol.
― Fastnbulbous, Monday, 3 December 2012 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
AnCo "broke through" in like 2004. They used that momentum to break through higher and higher places (like NPR) over the course of two or three more albums over half a decade of work
The XX hit paydirt first time out and now are following up on it. The analogy doesn't work
