aphex at #11 imo

Aphex will place high (like top 10), but will not win.
― MarkoP, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:35 (nine years ago) link
FKA twigs or T. Swift will win.

Aphex seems like a lock for top 10 but 1 is unlikely

d'angelo will win imo

Thought this was a good album but it didn't really stick with me.
― seandalai, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:41 (nine years ago) link
I can't make heads or tails of this (though I only started listening to it for the first time ten minutes ago).
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:42 (nine years ago) link
Track titles are great. I'm really hoping now it sounds like Lush meets 50 Cent.
― Jeff W, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:44 (nine years ago) link
there's something impressive about how similar all his records sound regardless of the sounds he uses

I tried to listen to that album but couldn't make it halfway through.

I don't like the ALL CAPS naming convention for tracks, but I shouldn't let that blind me. This is fine.

This sounds like something a friend would record and then play for you and you have to say nice things about it because he's your friend but down inside you and he both know it's not very good.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:52 (nine years ago) link
I'd be very frustrated if Aphex won, but I doubt he will. My bets are on #6

Such a misleading album name.
― Dinsdale, Monday, 26 January 2015 20:55 (nine years ago) link
I'm yet to understand the work of Dean Blunt. He's like Oneohtrix to me - hugely popular with the publications/sites I follow but I just can't get my head around or relate to what's going on with it.
― diss strychnine (dog latin), Monday, 26 January 2015 20:56 (nine years ago) link
I keep meaning to start a thread of indie/hipster culture referencing black metal. It seems to be quite the thing these days.

― gr8080, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:03 (nine years ago) link
that was my #4 iirc
Ehhh that's ok I never got that into it, maybe I should give it another shake.
― The Reverend, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
I missed most of the rollout today but enjoyed catching up - voted for Khun Narin and Noura Mint Seymali, have previously enjoyed Call Super, Ninos du Brasil and Dean Blunt, still need to check out Theo Parish and Mica Levi...
Oh, and HB JF!
― seandalai, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
77-61 was a ride and a half
Dean Blunt's songs remind me of those 'Best of MP3.COM' posts on WFMU. They've definitely got something about 'em. Can't imagine why a label would want to release them in album form though.
― Jeff W, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:08 (nine years ago) link
You know we're all getting old when there's more bobbins on the albums thread than in the tracks poll.
― Matt DC, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:09 (nine years ago) link
Enjoyed the diversity of today's list. Had only heard 8 and only voted for 2 (Cher Lloyd & Sturgill Simpson).
― Indexed, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:13 (nine years ago) link
i also found the dean blunt album inscrutable but i wasn't as quick to dismiss it as BS as you guys are. i ended up really liking it. it starts out kinda singer songwritery then gets noisy & then dubby.
― flopson, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:14 (nine years ago) link
catch-up on the last few...
rev otm re: honest. it's not perfect, but it's got a ton of great tracks, not just the 1 or 2 that so many wanna grudgingly acknowledge. a slight disappointment after pluto, sure, but not some smoking crater.
love the khun narin lp! preordered, have happily spun it countless time since. made for lolling about on sunny days.
remember enjoying the freddy gibbs/madlib album, but it's been a while. need to catch up on the rest (except new pornographers, who bore me silly).
― A Severus of Snapes (contenderizer), Monday, 26 January 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link
Ooh, just missed the rollout. Good work so far, guys.
Voted for: Babymetal & Ninos du BrasilOn longlist: Dean Blunt (was never that likely to make it but still a good record)
I heard a tiny bit of Noura Mint Seymali and Khun Narin but not enough to consider putting them on my lists, I liked what I heard, though.
I probably should check out Ought, but for every interesting point of reference someone then brings up a deathly dull comparison to counter it with.
― emil.y, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:24 (nine years ago) link

― MikoMcha, Monday, 26 January 2015 21:28 (nine years ago) link
Dean Blunt ended up my 27, Babymetal my 31. The appeal of the former faded fast after a while. I kind of liked the moments most on Black Metal that could've come out on Sarah Records.

more bobbins on the albums thread than in the tracks poll
Much of the heralded bobbins material I've sampled this year has been a bit too "tracky", both in construction and intent as DJ tools. Past EOY bobbins have made more concessions to song form.
Voted for: Mica Levi, Ninos Du Brasil, WarpaintPleased to see: Babymetal, Noura Mint Seymali, Call SuperDiscovered: Khun Narin

Havent heard any of them so far and im on a train with no headphones, so its already a more pleasant experience. I own some records by one of the artists! tho not the one featuring here, which I havent heard, he lost me a while back though:(
