Why the fuck is that Lana Del Rey album higher than that fucking incredible Bicep album

Lido off the Bicep album is my favourite thing they've done

that aya record was oddly disappointing to me, ended up just listening to more of her earlier, instrumental stuff instead after throwing that on
― octobeard, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 01:54 (two years ago) link
the Bicep album was nice, but in terms of melodic head bobbins, Ross From Friends and Lone both put out better records. Betting the latter two don't place.
― octobeard, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 01:59 (two years ago) link
Liked the Bicep, Ross from Friends, LDR and yu su albums when they came out, didn’t find myself replaying them much after the initial positive impression.
Loraine James and Joy Orbison I didn’t really payed attention to but loving them atm.
Don’t really recognize any of the other albums from today’s run. I need to listen to a bunch of stuff.

Great list so far! Only two of my votes have made it this far, and I'm stoked that everything else has apparently made the top 50! Yay BackRoad Gee, drill taking over ilx! Apart from that, several albums that I left off my ballot at the last moment, and a lot of new-to-me stuff that sounds really good. A bit more:
Emeka Ogboh was my 7, I love the sound. The psychedelic cacophony reminded me a bit of recent cinema from the continent to, such as Air Conditioner which I think can be seen on MUBI. Or Felicité by Alain Gomis.
Didn't vote for Insides, but it's really good, and I have to recommend everyone checking out Clear Skin, the 38 minute track they made in 94, which is one of my favorite things ever.
Loraine James my 21. Some of it was almost IDM-drill like, which I adored.
Also, yay jazz! There's a significant amount of jazz on the list so far, no? And I'm guessing quite a lot more to come. I really liked the Damon Locks, and while I didn't love the Vijay Iyer trio, I almost voted for the album Tyshawn Sorey made with King Britt. Also, I fear Anna Webber might have been the 78 this year :(

Yeah I liked the Roass From Friends album enough, especially Life In A Mind, but like Moka I've just not felt like replaying it much (unlike the first album which I still regularly dig out). I really love his sound and his approach but there were too many long meandering bits hammocking the more meaty stuff on this one.

this is fairly shockingly low
Sullivan's last two albums are among the best albums of the last 15 years -- Reality Show was and remains the best album of 2015 -- but the attachment to this one baffles me. I suspect she used the recorded chats with women to compensate for the lack of songs.

This Mogwai album is not bad but I feel like all of Mogwai should be sat in a room and forced to listen to Like Herod (Govt Sessions versh), Ex-Cowboy, 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong and Ratts Of The Capital back to back at maximum volume until they all agree to be scary again

I'm actually starting to feel like maybe today and tomorrow will be the days where many of my votes get it, but who knows. I definitely voted for the Ran Cap record, it's really something.

I like Heaux Tales fine but totally expected it to be part of a bigger project. I know there's the "Deluxe" version coming out Friday, maybe that will make it feel more like a full album. Anyway, I think Reality Show gained stature over the past six years so people were primed to praise whatever she eventually released.

the best songs on heaux tales also existed as singles for months before the album came out, then not much on the album approached those two songs.
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 15:25 (two years ago) link
I feel the same as Alfred about Jazmine. It's really great to see her have such a good year with all the acclaim, but it's weird to see her get it for this album when she already put out three classics. I was expecting her to continue that winning streak based on Lost One and Pick Up Your Feelings. It wasn't just about there being too many interludes, I just found the other new songs fairly forgettable. She's capable of better. Hopefully people who have discovered her through this era will go back and check out Reality Show and Fearless.
