Albums of 2019 Failed Results Thread

Post by Holden »

Hello! Starting later today I’m going to begin posting the results of our EOY Albums Poll, and here is the format for the results:
(Image)
Rank. Artist | Title
(Total Points | Total Votes)
Critics’ List:
MegaCritic:
Biggest Fans:
Songs in Top 100:
Plus some additional fun for some albums!
Feel free to post predictions in this thread-it’ll help raise excitement!
Also, if I mess up the Songs in the Top 100, let me know, I'm not being super religious with checking it whether each song was just a single or in the album. Also, let me know if I mess up anywhere!

Unfortunately it seems that the two diffeeent sources I have used for images (Rate Your Music and Album of the Year) both don’t have images that work on mobile. Do we know of any sites that will?

I find it very interesting that all the votes for "1000 gecs" were in the top ten. It's one of those things which show that it's an album you either really love or really hate :whistle:

I just recently listened to 1000 gecs and it would have been in my top 20 if I updated my list

All top-5! I’m guessing most voters didn’t listen to it... I only heard the one acclaimed song, which I liked.

None of the images work for me on mobile or desktop - anyone else having this issue?

My expected top ten:
1. Lana Del Ray - NFR
2. Weyes Blood - Titanic rising(I almost want to call for it to pull the upset)
3. FKA Twigs - MAGDALENE
4. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen
5. Big Thief - UFOF
6. Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep...
7. Angel Olsen - All Mirrors
8. Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride
9. Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
10. Purple Mountains - s/t

By the way, Stay With Me should be listed under the Hatchie album.

Yikes-are the images showing up on anyone’s? They show up fine for my laptop-but of course I’ll find a new source so everyone can see them!

Also, how about a competition? Keep predicting your top ten, and I’ll figure out who is the most accurate after the roll-out is done!

It turns out that Jenny Wilson's Trauma is near to impossible to find cover images for-the only nice one I managed to find is Rate Your Music's, which doesn't work, so if anyone manages to find one let me know!

Um unfortunately that would be because it seems as though I missed your list all together! I will remedy that, and adjust the rollout accordingly!

Alright, so, this one list by Chris K. that I missed for some reason is going to shake up the results pretty drastically. I will fix this all tonight, and I intend to start a new roll-out thread that will start tomorrow. So sorry about all of the inconveniences, there on me, but I will begin the true roll-out tomorrow in a new thread!

I thought I had Mercury Rev in my top ten, did I put it lower?

You listed me for Malibu Ken so must have been counted, I would just expect to also be biggest fans for Mercury Rev.

You had Mercury Rev at #18 in the List Thread, which is how it is listed in my spreadsheet.

Also, it seems as though pictures are going to have to be taken from multiple sources. Could someone tell me how to edit the photo size in the forum posts?

It's the imgsize tab, you wrap it round the URL, so it goes: [imgsize={number x number}]url[/imgsize]

Here's 100x100 with Jenny Lewis:



200x200



etc.

I don't want to interfere or anything but just say if you need a hand, I can cast an eye over the Excels or double-check everyone's list is there for example :greetings-waveyellow:

Alright, everybody! Looks like the presentation is almost ready for tomorrow's presentation, but I would LOVE more individual comments/reviews about albums! I'd love to have all of the top 10 albums, if not more covered with comments, so please PM me any reviews! Although our top albums do vary pretty greatly from the Critic's EOY List, if you'd like to be amazingly helpful, review an album you loved from the top of that list! If the album you review is in the top 100, your review will be in the roll-out! Please help out!

In order to allow someone to fully check my work, I am going to have to hold off on presenting until Tuesday. Hopefully anyone else who would like to submit reviews will have the time then! I'm sorry about the delay, I just want everyone to receive the best possible roll-out! And thanks so much to mileswide for being so helpful!

I'm starting the rollout tomorrow, likely, so any reviews you would like featured should be sent soon!
