4 people need to hear better records.

^this xp

(i am one of the 4)

i genuinely had hopes this would fail to place and we'd get a surprise in here :(

1-2 has to be owen pallett & YG.

get it all out people

how is the war on drugs better than HONEST

Your dad would love the WOD

I should probably give this another try

my mom loves the WOD album

good album.

i mean i've groused to varying extents about like...the majority of the top 20 so far but each and every one of them is so obviously so much worthier of recognition than this dull dull dull gristly meat and overdone potatoes rock

hurrr

I don't think ILM will recover from this epic mistake. The War on Drugs' tedious, besotted, dull as ditch water excuse for an album in the top ten.

RIP ILM

good record

No one who likes rae sremmub can criticize War on Drugs.

Lex OTM!!

I'd never thought I'd say that, and pray to god I never have to again. The damage that frikking War on Drugs is doing...

A pox on both your houses.

I've been told that everyone has 20 minutes to clear out, and the rest of the countdown has been canceled. good luck and may god have mercy on our souls.

what about if you like rae sremmurd?

xxxp

aw this isn't that bad, just too high/overrated

^

"red eyes" is a decent song, but for one particular reason...it's short, unlike almost. every. other. fucking. song. on. the. album.

ilm revealed to contain Guitar Rock Likers

can we cut and paste remarks from singles thread?

Roughly 1 in 5 or 6 voters had it on their ballot. Just deal with it.

one of my favorite shows of all time was seeing these guys open up for destroyer during the kaputt tour

guessing that Amory is also in the Wod Four

2014's Dire Straits?

sorry to interrupt.

one of the best parts about swans live is gira literally doing the jigglepanda dance

i saw swans back on the children of god tour (my ears my ears), and i have always wondered if he still does this.

brilliant.

back to catching up.

nothing i enjoyed in 2014 has appeared (i never vote in these as i feel i do not listen to enough to new music to make an informed decision), but that does not stop me from soaking all of this up.

Ah! So that explains it.

19 minutes and counting...

For stats' sake, there were 142 ballots in the albums poll.

what about if you like rae sremmurd?

I question all judgments you may have about music. I'm not a fan of this War On Drugs record, but I can see it's appeal to people. Which is something I can't say about rae sremmub.

WOD is pretty good to listen while stoned (lol what isn't)

I admire your persistence and I lolled but I don't think "rae sremmub" is going to happen ;_;

I know. But I try. Either that or "rae sreredrum". I can't decide which.

There hasn't been anything on the list so far I can't see the appeal of tbh

you'll be delighted next year when the album is top ten
xp

High rankings on best-of-year lists everywhere prompted me to listen to the St. Vincent album repeatedly. Still does nothing for me.

I would have voted for the Croz album had it been nominated. Likewise Joan as Police Woman.

Still several I voted for I was sure would place that haven't shown up yet, but also didn't think they'd place this high, so have no idea what to expect....

xpost agree with EZ Snappin, Rae Sremmurd more cringeworthy and embarrasing than WoD

Pretty surprised that it looks like Flying Lotus won't place at all.

sometimes laying around and being lazy and doing nothing can be great. it's no way to live your life but it can often be the best way to spend your day. that's pretty much how I break WoD down to an extent.

I know, pandemic. I know. *sigh*

xposts

neither are embarrassing or cringe worthy, they're just records

xxp

i would be surprised to see sremm make top ten in 2015 but anything's possible
