Propose new rule: if you are not willing to get in a fistfight over your AOTY then you cannot make it No 1.
I am generally pro-Metronomy but I couldn't get an aural hold on that album. Think it's leftover goodwill from ignoring them before? Dunno.

I was reading about the Metronomy album and it sounded kind of interesting, in a conceptual way - but that said I really didn't like the c2008/9 album they did at all. Utterly ghastly. Is this any better/different?

I'm not sure I'm willing to get into a fistfight over an album about the horrors of war :/

Last time I got *that* overboard with an album, it was "Voice of the 7 woods"
Good old Spotify means I can have-a-try of AÉREA NEGROT Arabxilla tonight.

xpost Neither could I really see myself taking off my watch to defend a concept record about the bleakness of a Scottish fishing village.

I would totally take it outside the baaaaah with my friend Oliviaaaaaaah over my AOTY so I'm fine with it.

Haha wow there isn't a single good record in the Graun's top 10 so far.
― Matt DC, Friday, 9 December 2011 13:55 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i was getting at how a) that's part of why it's obnoxious when he does it and b) that's why nobody else on ilx ever says it.

kmt = caribbean diasporic slang that has become part of the lingua franca of british urban youth. i dunno, do your own research. tons of people i know use it
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 13:57 (twelve years ago) link
dunno if british is right lex. Seems like its a part of london only, certainly not used across the whole of the UK
― Minga Frump (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 9 December 2011 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
I've only ever seen two people do it in real life: An enormous Jamaican dude outside a pub who insisted on telling me about how he once produced the Clash, and a skinny junkie kid who I think was looking to steal my wallet...
― dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 14:01 (twelve years ago) link
i've seen plenty of people from manchester and birmingham use it

I would not have been mad at FACT if they had put Frank Ocean at #1
However, they put Tyler there instead, so hell yes I am mad at them
― OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 14:28 (twelve years ago) link

i don't care about tyler's album but "yonkers" is a pretty undeniable "oh shit" banger of a track
― v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
don't care, fuck Tyler

"yonkers" beat is terrible, banger status denied
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:29 (twelve years ago) link
man i heard the "yonkers" beat as the bumper music on rap & r&b stations for months, get outta here
― v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah the "Yonkers" beat is fantastic, no matter what else you may think of Tyler.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
i kind of think as a "banger" as something you can dance to, "yonkers" is too...dour
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, 9 December 2011 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
I thought "Pumped Up Kicks" would make the final Billboard list but otherwise expected.

that Billboard list is making me rethink my policy of letting my wife control the radio stations in the car; that is basically what we heard all year in the mornings

"Firework" honestly makes me think of the noise made when you pull the sides of a balloon's mouthpiece and slowly let the air out.
― dog latin, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
"Firework" is self-evidently the worst song on that list IMO
― OH NOES, Friday, 9 December 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
"firework" is a contender for worst song EVER imo
