Urban75 Album of the Year 2017 - The Results!

[butchersapron]

Yay! Something that I voted for made the list. I didn't think any would make the cut this year. My number one record, which probably helped with the placing.

I had this at number 5

15 - The Fall - New Facts Emerge

Here they are again, and what could be better?

 

[clandestino]

I had this at number 5

Looking hopeful for Orc then, I should think!

 

[belboid]

14 - Kelly Lee Owens- Kelly Lee Owen

An album that bridges the gaps between cavernous techno, spectral pop, and krautrock’s mechanical pulse, beguiling and quite brilliant.

 

[belboid]

13 - The Moonlandingz - Interplantary Class Classics

Rock 'n' roll class war - biting, bitter, hilarious and brilliant. Buy it.

oh, I enjoyed that - it should probably have made my list. curses.

 

[belboid]

Get ready to rule another one out...

 

[killer b]

bjork? released too late for a proper high placing I reckon

 

[belboid]

12 - Bjork - Utopia

She's back, Most a sensory experience than an album, perhaps. It's sumptuous, lush and airy, and even contains humour (apparently)

 

[redsquirrel]

Pigsx7 must be a good bet for the top ten.

 

[butchersapron]

Looking hopeful for Orc then, I should think!

Which I have at 4. Always thought that would be the better placed of the two.

 

[killer b]

Pigsx5 must be a good bet for the top ten.

it's x7

 

[redsquirrel]

it's x7

That's what I said

 

[belboid]

11 - Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Luciferian Towers

Another cascade of Canadian heaviness, hiding a ridiculously optimistic worldview behind funereal soundscapes.

Looks like they'll be behind Mogwai then. Which, for once, is unfair IMO

 

[belboid]

Time to top up the wine

This is great, but it sounds just like Warpaint! Like spookily so. Still, I'll be checking this one out...

 

[killer b]

I'm not sure why it takes so long to top up a glass of wine. Has he had to nip to the offy?

 

[Orang Utan]

Quite a few to check out here, but some real stinkers too so far.

Like what?

Number two for me. I haven't heard the Damaged Bug LP - I'm a bit behind with that. Still working my way through the Oh Sees back catalogue.

 

[Orang Utan]

Like what?

Stinkers or ones to check out?

 

[redsquirrel]

Stinkers

 

[clandestino]

I'll be very sad if the Mary Chain aren't in the list.

 

[Orang Utan]

Stinkers

LCD (of course), Thundercat, Fever Ray, Juana Molina and Kendrick Lamar

 

[killer b]

I'll be very sad if the Mary Chain aren't in the list.

Fairly sure they'd be up by now if it was going to.

 

[clandestino]

Fairly sure they'd be up by now if it was going to.

That's what I was thinking.

 

[clandestino]

Ah, the dramatic pause before the top ten.

*taps on screen*

 

[marty21]

*taps screen harder*

 

[clandestino]

Mogwai for number one then.
