Tirzah album felt to me like this year's equivalent of Pre-Millennial Tension-era Tricky. That's a good metric.

Feels like Sault a bit too high. Easily their weakest album.

Well that's why it's not #1

With Sault it wasn't easy to decide to go with album or tracks. Personally I went with tracks and voted for Bitter Streets. The album is maybe a transition.
― Nabozo, Thursday, 10 February 2022 19:34 (two years ago) link
Love that Dean Blunt album, the first thing of his I've really gotten into. Voted for Sault too. I agree it's their slightest album, but that's by comparison to four great ones.

the strategy to only make it available for a limited time was a big negative for me

I mean, "available" ... it's not like it's hard to find if you want to listen to it.

love people calling music on the ILM Top 77 Albums of 2021 poll "ILM bait" or "ILMcore." like ... no shit?
― na (NA), Thursday, 10 February 2022 20:00 (two years ago) link
by definition the #1 album will be the most ILMcore album of the year
Sad that my number one won't place, seems like none of you love blissful deep listening masterpieces.

Judging by the poll results so far, it would be relatively apt.

ah ok NA, sorry, I'm feeling sensitive on ilx today. Obvs it wasn't my most profound observation ever, but I was sort of responding to some of the earlier talk from Tim F and Nabozo about not keeping up with things

also I didn't get into the Mr Twin Sister album but the thread getting bumped prompted me to listen to the first two, which loved, so maybe I'll find my way to this one in 5 years
― rob, Thursday, 10 February 2022 20:22 (two years ago) link
What if Anne Bourne is 78.
I actually like that one song from the Cassandra Jenkins album, I should give the whole thing another go. It's been a minute.
