Two very good teams, but I was quite disappointed by Swing Lo Magellan after the stellar Bitte Orca. What's more, Talbot, Kendrick, and Japandroids are all stellar, but can't beat the combo of Yoshimi, Disintegration Loops, and Invention. Going 2002.

Team 2012 for the win. Each album was just a little bit better than its 2002 opposite.

2012 singles > 2002 singles
Celebration Rock > Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Swing Low Magellan > Kill the Moonlight
Fin > Inventions
Good Kid Maad City >

Now, I don't know what what to do with Disintegration Loops. I hated that album. It wasn't music, it was a sound, a long elaborate complicated sound. But yet,

But yet..... I couldn't turn away. That droning interminable sound sucked my ears in and wouldn't let go, like a warp tunnel to aural hell. Did I like it? No. I did not like it, but.... I didn't want to stop listening, either. All through that hour-long track I kept looking at the time, relieved that there was still another half hour, twenty minutes before that sound would stop. It was the album I hated the most. It was the one I liked the best. It was the one I will remember.

This basically boils down to whether I prefer the Kendrick + Talabot + 'Climax' + 'Chum' combination or the Lips + Basinski + 'Move Your Feet' + 'On My Block' combination. Besides all of those, I like that Daedelus record and that Dirty Projectors record, and then very little else. Leaning slightly towards 2012 (I prefer both GKMC and Fin to Yoshimi at this moment in my life, but it will always have a very special place in my heart for reasons similar to those Cuba mentioned), but Scarface's best song (which is also the best thing in this match) and Basinski keep stopping me from voting that way. May abstain.

Close, but it's gotta be 2012 for me.

Don't care that much for either team... some calculation will be needed. Don't know that Talabot LP for instance, from what I've read around here it could be the decider.

Thinking 02 but have some things to listen to still. Some really fantastic stuff in the 12 team but also some stuff I just have no enthusiasm for.

That 2002 team is very very good, and I guess a trend is starting with the movie gifs which is (I hope) a good thing... but Im not voting against OK Cupid.

Damn, CHarli and Kitty on the same day, I need a change of underwear

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips

I'm going to admit it. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots might seem an uncreative choice. It's not the best Flaming Lips album, hell it's not even in my top three Flaming Lips records (though it's still great), but it's one of the albums that I credit with getting me into music and without it, I doubt I would have found you people. I can think of no better way to start this off. So heres to Yoshimi for introducing me to an incredibly talented group of people, for sparking a hopefully life long passion and just being a plain good record.

I don't know what to feel, think, or act like during this album. There are stories of hatred, guilt, past love, deceased affection, and an overwhelming dose of the realisation of reality. The songwriters (Brooke/Ghetto) here are of opposing genders, which is very strange to listen to. Considering there is near to no credit given to individual songs, you never know what is coming from who, and I don't think I want to know. My point here is that there are two polar opposites in gender, and the whole album is so lyrically cohesive throughout. That confuses me in such a way that is fascinating, and when the two are harmonising and sharing songs, it's as if they are both having a bond in emotions, and this cannot be broken. They understand each other and, to be honest, each song sounds like both of their experiences merged together. Both Brooke and Ghetto feel the same way, and I don't think this is a coincidence. I like to think that there was, at some point, something between the two of them and that through everything, they can still pull through and create one of the most poignant experiences ever, together. Now, this is not a conclusive fact, so it shouldn't actually contribute anything. But even if they weren't actually together, the two of them are on the exact same page emotionally. This adds so much personality to the album, it makes it sound a lot more heartfelt and it tells listeners that, when you are down, and when you are feeling a sense of loss, may it be death, heartbreak, or just someone close leaving your life, there is so much sympathy throughout the world, and so many people feel the way you do. Additionally, this is actually explored in "it's hard to write this song, it's all a joke, it's all been wrote down by someone who's probably dead". I first heard this album a few weeks after a breakup (which wasn't really that devastating), and I wasn't feeling anything negative about this breakup at that time. I was past her, but what really made me forget about the whole ordeal completely was that lyric. I wrote a song about the breakup (which is bitchy and whiny), and I realised it was just so pointless because this song can be found anywhere, in anyone's mind, all over the world. Every lyric has been explored in some song somewhere, and it was pointless. The song brought nothing contributory to anyone anywhere anyway because it was just about the "pains" I was going through after what was actually a really easy breakup. So, I scrapped it. And I scrapped worrying about the past. Yeah, the past has shaped who you are up to now, but what shapes you even more so, is your future actions. You shouldn't care about your past, and you should move on to try and craft a better you and a better future.
