Migos?

example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:30 (nine years ago) link

would be surprised by Beck or Phantogram.

Simon H., Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:31 (nine years ago) link

People saying they really liked the Neneh album and then just let it fade away experienced it just the opposite of how I did. I thought it was cool initially, but then it just kept getting better and better.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:32 (nine years ago) link

Migos suffer from vote splitting.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:32 (nine years ago) link

Would be surprised if Minaj made it. Not a lot of love for the album once it eventually came out and it wasn't even included in the nominations list until a few days before closing due to error.

bae sremmurd (monotony), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:35 (nine years ago) link

uh pinkprint was not nominated guys

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:38 (nine years ago) link

why you gotta be so rmde (NickB), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:38 (nine years ago) link

oh ok maybe just last min, wasnt there when i voted

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:38 (nine years ago) link

I think at this exact point last year people were debating if the first Run The Jewels album was going to make it. It missed out but can't remember by how much now.

Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:39 (nine years ago) link

It was, but it wasn't transferred to the nominations list until about half way through the voting period.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:39 (nine years ago) link

still room for one more Lewis album

example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:39 (nine years ago) link

jenny lewis right?

why you gotta be so rmde (NickB), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:40 (nine years ago) link

day 1 > day 3 > day 2

Mordy, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:41 (nine years ago) link

Pretty much follows that pattern every year iirc

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:43 (nine years ago) link

Winner: D'Angelo and the Vanguard
Top 5: FKA twigs, Taylor Swift
Certainly: Against Me!, Aphex Twin, Caribou, Charli XCX, The Juan McLean, Miranda Lambert, Nicki Minaj, Owen Pallett, St. Vincent, Rich Gang, Run The Jewels, Tinashe, Todd Terje, The War on Drugs
Likely: Beck, Grouper, Flying Lotus, Javiera Mena, Perfume Genius, Sharon von Etten
Possibly: Arca, Phantogram

YG should be a shoo-in tbh

example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:44 (nine years ago) link

shoo-in for top 10, even

Simon H., Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:53 (nine years ago) link

my top 5 prediction would be is d'angelo, twigs, swift, owen and yg

bae sremmurd (monotony), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:14 (nine years ago) link

(delete the "is" lol)

bae sremmurd (monotony), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:14 (nine years ago) link

im pretty sure no one voted for a beck album in the year 2014, especially a mopey-mode beck album

ciderpress, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I can't see the Beck album placing at all.

I think Monotony might be about right. Maybe Todd instead of YG.

Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:35 (nine years ago) link

VINCE STAPLES

RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:43 (nine years ago) link

If 8 votes got Babymetal in at #77 surely ILM's Staples stans can elevate Shyne Coldchain 2 into the top 20. Right? Right?!?

RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:44 (nine years ago) link

Vince Staples couldn't even break into the tracks poll, he ain't showing up

Simon H., Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:45 (nine years ago) link

As shit as my poll has gone at least so far there has only only been 3 fucking tedious, useless, reductive fucking uber-schmoozer wanker-posts from ILX's leading worst fucking poster on this thread so far.

xelab, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:47 (nine years ago) link

uh pinkprint was not nominated guys

yup it was: ILM's 2014 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

but it didn't make it into the list. ppl, who wanted to vote for it were supposed to email the ppl running the poll if they wanted it included ILM's 2014 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / VOTING THREAD

conspiracy, basically

flopson, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:49 (nine years ago) link

hey wait, strychnine posted more than three times

(xp)

WRINKLEPAWSOME (sleeve), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:50 (nine years ago) link

lol not true. I added it to the list when it was brought to my attention and it was added to your ballot manually within a half an hour of your request. CONSPIRACY MY EYE

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:51 (nine years ago) link

isn't it a bit early for joke #1s?

so not gonna häpna (seandalai), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:59 (nine years ago) link

LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:01 (nine years ago) link

Pretty sure I've posted more than 3 times too so for once it's not me being called it.

Get Ducked (Cosmic Slop), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:10 (nine years ago) link

Shabazz Palaces, oh my fucking god! We're near the end & honestly this feels like a subliminal trip, like Shabazz is in my head fiddling with the wires, implanting awesome ideas I won't fully comprehend until my net wisdom has reached a certain point. It's absolutely fucking glorious & easily my favourite discovery of the rollout so far. Thanks for voting for it!

Is xelab a faux-British matt p sock? Only other person who's come out of nowhere to hate me so much.

how's life, Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:18 (nine years ago) link

Probably my biggest disappointment of the year. I was hyped for it, but it just didn't click. I think the mix was off.

Yeah, this was supposed to be the ultimate and it didn't quite meet my expectations. I'd actually thought about this collaboration before it happened, and when it did I couldn't believe it. But ultimately it's Scott doing his thing over Sunn O))) doing their thing. With a marriage of these minds it could have been more than the sum of its parts. I haven't gone back to it all that much, but it has consolidated both Bish Bosch and Monoliths & Dimensions as the apex (so far) of what each act is able to do in my opinion. Still, the lyrics on Herod 2014 are some of the best Scott's done and I think 'OOOOH THE WIDE MISSOURI' is pretty special. Still, not enough Sunn O)), and maybe the wrong amount of Scott.

Sorry guys, I love you. You are among my favourite acts in history, but this gets a B-.

UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:20 (nine years ago) link

i feel exactly the same way about Swans and Scott this year. They individually delivered my favourite albums of 2012, opened up so many horizons for me and acted like a bit of a benchmark in that respect which could never be surpassed, even by them.

UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:22 (nine years ago) link

I've basically been listening to Richard Dawson on repeat since it placed in the tracks poll. Great record. I love that high English tenor. I love his melodic turns and phrasings. Sometimes it is so funny the way he gives such big melodies to small lyrics such as, "chaaassssing a ball throuuuggh theeee mud"

mom, Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:24 (nine years ago) link

On the other hand, Richard Dawson has filled my 'weird dark art-music dude' void, but only in the last couple of weeks. Nothing Important blew my mind. I didn't vote for him in the tracks poll because I think Nothing Important needs to be taken as a whole, and I'm pleased he deservedly beat out Swans and Scott O))) in those stakes.

UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:25 (nine years ago) link

This 'A Winged Victory For The Heart Of The Sun' thing is gorgeous! Absolutely just.. just gorgeous. Thanks ILM

UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:33 (nine years ago) link

imo their self-titled album from a few years ago is even more gorgeous

bae sremmurd (monotony), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:39 (nine years ago) link

Is xelab a faux-British matt p sock? Only other person who's come out of nowhere to hate me so much.

Lol! Matt P even takes the piss out of me. You are a boring reactionary poster who has a habit of jumping in with an ill conceived "huh! pc gone mad" type demeanour on multiple threads in recent times. Some of them were threads where people were using disablist slurs, that leaves me thinking you deserve nothing but contempt, so until you you actually admit you are an arsehole, fuck off and die.

xelab, Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:49 (nine years ago) link

yea i shouldve posted abt it when i was doing my ballot cuz i was gonna put nicki on it, tho near the bottom tbh maybe giving it eight pts or something inconsequential

johnny crunch, Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:52 (nine years ago) link

xelab...

UK Horseshit Cru (dog latin), Thursday, 29 January 2015 00:53 (nine years ago) link
