Harold,
I don't see yet the "Libération" list in your AM EOY albums 2012 lists. Is it normal?

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
I just realized that I never added the Liberation list from 2011 - I think it got lost in a flood of lists, and because it's an unranked set of different short lists I put it aside and then never went back to it. I can check the 2010 spreadsheet to see how we dealt with the list then, and then add it.Romain wrote:Harold,

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Ok, thank you.
Oh, and be careful, "Les inrocks" published a new list with a top 20 of World, chansons, jazz.
HAve a good day.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
I find this list rather upsetting as a Brit! Not only are British artists nowhere to be seen (especially after last years' stunning James Blake record doing well), but I can't stand the British lists. Celebration Rock is personal favourite, and would be top 5 if it weren't for us. Apologies on behalf of my countries' entire music press.
Aside from this: Channel Orange is killer obviously, I totally don't understand the fuss about Tame Impala, I'm glad R.A.P. Music hasn't bothered the top 20. would like to see Burial, Purity Ring and Death Grips moving up.
Finally, what a shame it is that Animal Collective failed to produce their own Kid A / White Album / whatever other cliche. MPP was the real deal (so were feels, sung tongs, strawberry jam etc...)

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Gah. Anyone have an explanation as to how Lana del Rey is doing so well? I thought Born to Die was pretty roundly panned when it came out last year, but now I see it pulling ahead of much better albums, such as WIXIW and Locked Down, that received glowing reviews. Is Lana del Rey just more "hip" than Dr. John or Liars at the moment, and thus more likely to be included on year-end lists?
Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
All you have to do is look at her scores on the international lists as opposed to the UK or (especially) US lists. The Europeans and Australians seem to think LDR is the proverbial bee's knees, for some reason. It's very odd, especially since, to me and apparently a lot of others, she's reminiscent of nothing so much as the kind of "World Famous Pop Star" characters who pop up on episodes of Law & Order or CSI and usually turn out to have killed their husbands.Kingoftonga wrote:Gah.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
When it came out, Del Rey's album was a guilty pleasure of mine. I always did like it very much. Now, I don't have to feel so guilty about it anymore. I've been glad to find how many critics and sources share my enthusiasm for it.

For me, Chanel Orange is a really crap album with only shit songs for example and I'm not able to find something interesting in all his album.
On the contrary, I love a lot the songs of Lana Del Rey. Not hip or something, I just LOVE the melodies and what I feeling when I hear her songs.
It's not really important isn't it?

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
The explanation for the affair Lana del Rey is this: Mega Critic Chart is more reliable than EOY
Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Megacritic is better technically I think, but I think EOY is better at finding what albums defined the year musically in terms of influence

How did it only get an 80 on metacritic!?

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
I think Lana Del Ray's album was so hyped on its release that everyone at least listened to it. It's not like it's that high or anything, I think 37th for an album that got that much hype is actually really low.
Death Grips at 33 is a little surprising, as a lot of critics were tripping over themselves to praise it on its release. But to me the biggest surprise of this spreadsheet is Coexist at 10. That album seemed to universally disappoint critics, and no one in the US even put it in their top 10. Yet through a bunch of mid-tier rankings and incredible showing internationally (seriously, number 3?), there it is.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
For me, one of the biggest surprises is the very poor showing for Patti Smith's Banga. An ambitious, generally well-reviewed album by one of the most critically revered artists around, and it's only at #312 with 5 points on the EOY spreadsheet?
Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
And it was also released after one of the most critically acclaimed non-fiction books of the decade that basically put Patti, the poet back in the game. Guess that there wasnt strong hype - a combustor to many records that fared better.Harold wrote:For me, one of the biggest surprises is the very poor showing for Patti Smith's Banga.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Finally got a chance to listen to The Seer. On the first listen I wondered if it was too ambient, instrumental, and long for me. On the second listen I am blown away! It really is an experience.

They have plenty of other albums that are experiences too. They've been a very important and unique band a long time before The Seer was released.
Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
I do think it's interesting that it's this album that finally puts Swans into the critical mainstream. It seems like My Father Will Guide Me... would have been the more likely album to make them the type of band that, say, Pitchfork or Spin would include in its year end top 10, but nope, it's this one. It's 2 hours long and not much less experimental or abrasive than some of their other albums, but for some reason it got people to listen to Swans for the first time.andrewmacmillan wrote:They have plenty of other albums that are experiences too.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Been listening to Tame Impala. Pffff... swollen music. Not very interesting IMO. Messy prod that wants to pass for psychedelism
Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
I'm surprised to see Lonerism all the way up at #2. I liked their previous album but this one seemed lackluster to me.
The Seer is also one I couldn't get into at all this year. There's so many long droning tracks that don't justify their length. Good to see Grimes at #4.
Alt-j at #10 is a surprise after it was in the Moderate game.
A few of my lesser known finds it would have been nice to see get a little more recognition.

And goodbye to the top 10 again, Fiona. (Dammit.) Welcome back, alt-J. Maybe after a few more listens I'll understand.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
Wow, I'm pretty glad about this list being the way it is, other than a few albums I don't like (Good Kid, Bloom, The Seer) being in the top 10 I really love the list here. I'm also glad to see Scott Walker pretty high up there.

Re: EOY Albums Spreadsheet - Updates
This may be way too late but Ad Hoc, Altered Zones's spiritual successor, had posted their 2012 lists and I noticed the song and album lists weren't included. Is it way too late to do it (probably)?
