(Considered Emeralds.)

I've never heard most of these. (Surprise!) Don't really like nu-Swans, and the Badu is a slightly less good follow-up to an amazing record, so this is either gonna be Diddy or Gil Scott-Heron for me.

I've loved all of the Beach House records but think Teen Dream was their best

Halcyon Digest felt like the best Deerhunter album too, although Microcastle/Weird Era Continued from 2008 was also great

I *want* to love New Amerykah part 2 but it feels like it falls off in its second half :/

I thought High Violet was the National's best album, and How I Got Over is still one of the Roots' best albums - too bad they got no votes, but the competition was too much.

xp I'd only say that's the case with "Incense"

Eggs Benedick (Eric H.), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 14:20 (two years ago) link

there's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
if i keep hearing return of the ankh falls off in the second half

i appreciate "incense"'s decisive break toward jazz fusion, harp and vocals painted stroke by stroke, the right way to transition into "out my mind" imo

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 15:05 (two years ago) link

def considered voting for the roots, how i got over is prob their best latter-day album

in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 17 May 2022 15:08 (two years ago) link

Four Tet deserved better but glad to see Teen Dream do so well

I actually voted for that Roots album that year.

My top ten would probably have (in no particular order) Deerhunter, Robyn, Kanye, Big Boi, Arcade Fire, Janelle MonĂ¡e, LCD Soundsystem, the National, the Roots and MGMT...but I feel like there's at least two or three other albums I'd want to include that aren't in that poll.
