when that alarm-call bit kicks in about 4mins into 'from the hill' it actually becomes unreasonable to dislike the album
less intense or flat-out sublime than TSIB (which is my favourite record of the 90's authored by someone other than cardiacs or mansun) but retains a really menacing, thrilling, tragic sensibility all the way through.

Just revisted The Ape Of Naples a few times again and that's easily my favourite on this list.

This proves it for once and for all. Madlib and Boards of Canada have the best albums of the decade.

I voted Madlib.
for once brian is happy.

geogaddi is ok but best of the decade? apparently it has been even lousier than i thought.

Didn't realise anyone had actually listened to that album more than a couple of times.

5 votes for Agalloch, cool.

I'd probably have voted for 'Relationship of Command' on this list, but the list doesn't contain any of my favourite albums of the decade.
Got down to no.695: The Knife 'Silent Shout' to find anything which might have a chance of getting into a top 10 I might make (not that I'm going to.)
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 29 October 2009 15:48 (fourteen years ago) link
8 actually in total.

I think it's just that the top 50 RYM albums suck.
