Tchamantche 90 - Ilana: The Creator 87

I need to listen to one album from each of the other three, I will try to.

I had to check if I nominated these two and turns out I nominated neither. They're both on the lists of albums I'd consider nominating.

My reason for not putting a lot of stock in RYM in terms of an all time ranking system is because the voters aren't a random or representative sample group, so mathematically you can't fairly compare between two albums voted on by two completely different audiences.

Innerspeaker 86 - Moon Pix 85
Interstellar Space 91 - Big Calm 77
Ilana: The Creator 87 - Requiem 76
Veronique 84 - A History of Hygiene 69

The LCD Soundsystem thing ended up not happening due to a big storm, but the Cure were awesome.

Jirin

I'm falling behind on this listening because I haven't had as much time for listening lately, I'll try to catch up but probably won't this week.

Jirin

So looks like I DO have LCD Soundsystem tickets but since I got them through Spotify it’s associated with a different email as my main AXS account.

Jirin

Stephen Merritt looks like Larry The Cable Guy and it makes the show kinda weird. But great show.

Jirin

I’m at the Magnetic Fields show now. This place is surprisingly divey for a band of their stature. But now I’m not sure I have LCD Soundsystem tickets. I put them in my calendar for a reason. But I can’t find evidence in either Ticketmaster or AXS. And it seems it’s actually part of a festival. Time...

I heard the new Janelle Monae. It's good, but very less distinctly her than her first three albums.

Jirin

Small Change 89 - Wild Planet 75
Classic Objects 83 - The One That You Love 63

#Ідиназвук 87 - On Dark Horses 78

Next week I have three shows over the course of five days: Magnetic Fields, LCD Soundsystem, The Cure.

LCD Soundsystem the only one of those I've seen before.

It's going to be harder for me to participate for a bit because I have a lot less music listening time.

KMH also seems not to be on Spotify.

Jirin

Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me 84 - Circuitual 74
O 83 - War of the Worlds 55

Vanishing Point 76 - Songs From The Big Chair 73

I had trouble finding Wonder Wheel.

Jirin

My musical taste has been relatively stable since about 2005 when I had managed to hear most of the sort of albums that are on the top of Acclaimed Music. There's been variations. Like recently, folk edging higher and distorted pop edging lower.

United 79 - Big Calm 77

I gave the other two both 76 and forgot to note which I liked better. I'll again save the vote for if it's a tie.

Anyone know which Requiem to listen to next week? There are several on Spotify.

Thanks!

I will vote History of Hygiene, 69-64.

Jirin

Interstellar Space 91 - Ironman 85
Ilana: The Creator 87 - Nowhere To Go 84

Your link goes to last year’s bracket.

Jirin

Songs of Innocence still sometimes automatically starts playing the moment I sync my phone with a rental car. It’s the kudzu of music.

Jirin

Moon Pix 85 - Things We Lost In The Fire 81

Wasn’t a big fan of either in the other matchup so I’ll abstain unless there’s a tie.

Jirin

I remember we previously discussed rolling re-eligibility windows depending on how far they got. Might be time to reconsider that.

If I nominated something I did before it’s just cause I forgot what I nominated in the past.

It’s not being depressing that bothers me so much as the feeling of “The world sucks and it’s everyone else’s fault”. It doesn’t have anything interesting or insightful about the ...

I’m listening to the Paramore album. Melodically I kind of like it, the lyrics though. More misanthropic than Morrissey. Reads like the diary of depressed narcissistic teenager. That makes it very hard to listen to.

Jirin

If we’re not expecting more lists might add a 6th album to mine.

Jirin

Big Thief has never felt to me like a band that was obsessed with themselves. I honestly think that complaint could be better levied against Ants from Up There (though I personally don’t agree, it does feel like a much more pretentious album). To some people, anything that's high concept in a way t...

I vote for a lot of jazz (And I think a lot of African music has been great the last few years that gets ignored in these polls). Most of the metal that comes out sounds kind of sameish to me. And it's why all the metal albums seem to always have high averages but 6-7 reviews max, it pleases a speci...

Jirin

Is there a rule for albums 2020 and later that wouldn't be on the chart yet or are those just off limits? Like, I assume I can not nominate Fetch The Bolt Cutters.

Honorio wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 4:08 pm 6. No more than 25 albums ranked 1500 or higher will be picked, no more than 50 ranked 2000 or higher, and no more than 75 ranked 2500 or higher, so make sure you spread your picks out through the entire list.

Need to update this rule for the 64 album format?
