Happy to see the good performance of R.A.P. Music !
I'm pretty fascinated by how different from the forum EOD results this new ranking is. It's a different way of voting for albums so it is expected that it will be a tad different, but I didn't expect it to be of that extend !

Psycho Tropical Berlin (my #5) : Who would have thought what French rock needed was a mix of surf rock and cold wave and a taste for the theatrics to deliver its best album ever ? This is still as much of a blast 10 years later, a lightning in a bottle moment, cleverly including guest artists to imp...

I like this album a lot but except for the 2 singles it's not a very accessible album, with noise and ambient tracks so I'm not very surprised it's not for everyone. I'd be more surprised to see the same for Silent Shout.

Nassim

I don't know what will happen in between, but i feel like the #1 (an album that everyone likes/loves) is pretty easy to figure out. Anyone else feel this way? There are 3, maybe 4, I could see winning. Our original 2010s poll winner faced major backlash which could be enough to shoot it down the nu...

I wrote blurbs for my top 10 songs and albums so here's to Big Fish Theory For me the most sonically interesting and adventurous rap album of the decade. I have already stated how annoyed I am by Summertime '06 not making it to that final round, but while it might be his big statement, Big Fish Theo...

Well Ekstasis and LCS were both great (re)discoveries for me and I ranked them much higher than I would have anticipated. So I listened to Aviary with good hopes but didn't enjoy it at all

Wow, we have officially come full circle - the decade being covered by the year-long poll when I joined AM! Will work on a list soon. Finally going to try and make an active effort to participate in this again after taking a few years off. That's the first time I stay long enough at a job to have m...

Hyped for this. I'll try predictions too.. Bottom Albums: The National Trouble Will Find Me 2013 Sleater-Kinney No Cities to Love 2015 They are not performing as well as when they were released but bottom 10 seems unlikely. I'd be surprised by Kamasi or Fontaines DC too Bottom Songs: Bat for Lashes...

Time for predictions ? Highest ranked albums is probably the easiest, so let's go for bottom 5 albums and 10 songs : Bottom 5 albums (in no order) : KIDS SEES GHOST Caligula FIBS Eye Contact Anti They might benefit from not having been heard by everyone, I might underestimate some more known but not...

Oh, and I was similarly confused how to incorporate the most recent Hitman trilogy since I played it as essentially one massive interconnected package (which seems to be the developer’s intention). I would consider them all as one game but that wouldn’t make sense for a poll like this so I’ve just ...

Usually I dedicated January to catching up the past year albums, especially the ones from moderately acclaimed, but this year I focused solely on the 2010s poll, so for the first time since I joined the forum I haven't been able to come up with a songs list.

Just realized there is no HAIM in any list ! That's quite a surprise ! Same comment for Metronomy !

New year, new thread ! I kicked the year off with Sprints first album. They released my 2 favorite rock songs of the decade so far so my expectations were sky high, it didn't fully meet them but it's still pretty great I have seen comparisons with Dry Cleaning and Savages (cause of the female singer...

So looking at the EOY lists, it's Julie Byrne who is underperforming ; it's a shame because I usually have a hard time connecting with chamber pop albums but this one really works for me.

It's a monthly culture paper magazine. Looked up a random issue from my library website and it seems they do a few reviews every months (4 in each of the couple issues I browsed)

Yeah it's a music magazine that's been publishing since 2007. There are already a couple of their lists on the site (though no EOY, don't know if they didn't do that before or if we missed them).

One by One is a half killers half fillers album for me, made worse by the fact that all the great tracks come first and then it falls apart. 4 great tracks to open the album, 2 good ones after and the rest is just plain forgettable.

I'm happily surprised by Tomb Mold doing well in several lists (it was in pitchfork, stereogum and here) because it's rare that a purely metal album ends up high enough to have a shot at the AM top 3000.

I will say I didnt realize the poll was going to work this way and after a year of participating in album polls, am going to have to pull out of participating.

Nassim

This is one of my favorite types of polls because I get to try to hurt the stuff I don't like instead of just picking my favorites. For some reason it is very satisfying to try to figure out what to rank last. I only see one candidate that could take my last place from Random Access Memories. Still...

[imgsize][/imgsize] Following this, I think mine would be Us v Them from Sound of Silver. That's my second favorite of the album ! I'd have Time to Get Away as the worst song, but still a pretty good song indeed No, it's definitely Watch the Tapes :D Our rank the tracks poll agrees with you !

Several of these I would argue against being the worst, though they are also definitely the albums I would think of. I do disagree with Na Na Na being the weakest link on Silent Shout - I think From Off to On is a legitimate lull in an otherwise flawless album. I would actually take Na Na Na over a...
