Head of Roses is one of those deceptively simple, outrageously good albums. An artist executing exactly what she does well to perfection.

god i love this album. too low!

Nite Jewel is TOO LOW. One of the most pristine, beautiful and expressive records of the year.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 19:57 (two years ago) link
honestly, this flock of dimes album and the last wye oak album (louder i get, etc.) are probably my two fav-ever wasner-involved projects to dae
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 19:58 (two years ago) link
Flock of Dimes sound like somewhat Low-ish in that video. Never heard of them.

I meant to spend more time with the yu su album

I'd say FOD sound more like next year's winner than this one's

A double one in fact

I was told ILM is legally required to feature an album by this artist in the top 50 each year:

Huh I'd hoped my #1 might squeak in when all the mood/vibe stuff was dropped earlier. Don't expect it in the top 50 though, so I'll pour one out for Mabe Fratti here 😢

You don't need to be Nostradamus to know with about 90% confidence who's going to win both this poll and the 2022 one, lol
― imago, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:09 (two years ago) link
I'm with you on this year, but what's the 2022 one?
― rob, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:10 (two years ago) link
Wait 3 days and you can even hear it
― imago, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:10 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, I figured we're all assuming Low are winning this one, but I'm also stumped on 2022.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:11 (two years ago) link
To be fair, the only album from this year that has permeated my brain so far is Beast Nest, and I'm pretty sure it's not that.
xp what was that you were saying about irksomely coy? :)

Lol I mean Big Thief obviously right let's move on

Oh, bleurgh. You're quite possibly right but why would I be paying any attention to their release schedule??

Chemtrails is the first Lana album I didn't connect with. Voted for Blue Banisters instead. I don't think anyone else rated it on here though.
As for next year, might as well get an early prediction in for Real Lies taking it.

I gave up on Lana Del Rey a couple of albums ago. I used to think I liked her, but I think I only like Ultraviolence.
― silverfish, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:44 (two years ago) link
I liked that Insides album from the playlist. Apparently they're a '90s band (the unsearchable name is a giveaway I guess) and this is their first record in 20 years??? You love to see it.

Really excellent to see Soft Bonds here! I thought it was a long shot and it's such a colossally gorgeous satisfying return.
― technopolis, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:47 (two years ago) link
Last one for the day!
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:48 (two years ago) link
So happy to see Insides make it! Such a gorgeous album that sounds like it could have come out a couple of years after Euphoria. I think it was in my top five.

I tried Soft Bonds when it came out and wasn't moved (Euphoria is classic, have cherished since hearing it in high school), but I just put it on and am transfixed, always appreciate this poll for moments like this

listen to the Damon Locks album IMHO

good to see insides beating both mogwai and godspeed, death to false post-rock amirite
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:55 (two years ago) link
Will this affirm or refute? I will find out when I can wrestle free of Saint Etienne's twilight vice (it's actually quite good).
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 20:57 (two years ago) link
refute! though tbc I wasn't challenging your characterization of the dominant mood but suggesting NOW as an antidote
― rob, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 21:02 (two years ago) link
best song on the insides record is the last one btw, 'undressing'

Yessss, the aya record is very special to me.
