Music Board's Albums of the Year
Posted on 2/4/13 at 8:49 am
Posted on 2/4/13 at 8:49 am
Sorry it's a tad late, but I've tabulated the vote for the top albums of the year, according to this board. 111 albums received at least one vote, but I decided to make this a top 27 list, as that was every album that received over 15 points, which required at least 2 people voting for it. There was a nine-way tie for 28th, only one of which had two people voting for it (Bob Mould - Silver Age).
So.... the top 27:
1. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory (108 pts, 14 ballots)
2. Japandroids - Celebration Rock (87 pts, 11 ballots)
3. Alabama Shakes - Boys and Girls (64 pts, 12 ballots)
4. Passion Pit -- Gossamer (56 pts, 6 ballots)
5. Jack White - Blunderbuss (46 pts, 8 ballots)
6. Of Monsters and Men- My Head Is An Animal (45 pts, 7 ballots)
7. Deftones - Koi No Yokan (42 pts, 5 ballots)
8. The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter (41 pts, 4 ballots)
9. Tame Impala - Lonerism (39 pts, 8 ballots)
10. The Lumineers- The Lumineers (38 pts, 6 ballots)
A quick note on the top ten. The top three just crushed the field, as they appeared on over 10 ballots apiece. Passion Pit didn't have wide support, but the people who loved it, loved it a lot. It averaged over 9 points in each ballot it appeared. Sort of the opposite of Tame Impala, which appeared on a ton of ballots, but rarely in the top half. It's support was wide but not very deep.
11. Beach House - Bloom (37 pts, 6 ballots)
12t. Gary Clark Jr. - Blak and Blu (32 pts, 6 ballots)
12t. Titus Andronicus - Local Business (32 pts, 6 ballots)
14. The Shins - Port of Morrow (30 pts, 5 ballots)
15. alt-J - An Awesome Wave (26 pts, 3 ballots)
16. Grizzly Bear - Shields (22 & 4)
17. Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d. city (22 & 3)
18t. Punch Brothers - Who's Feeling Young Now (20 & 2)
18t. The Walkmen - Heaven (20 & 2)
20t. Chromatics - Kill For Love (19 & 3)
20t. Dr. John - Locked Down (19 & 3)
20t. Mumford and Sons - Babel (19 & 3)
23. Parquet Courts - Light Up Gold (19 & 2)
24. Frank Ocean – Channel Orange (18 & 4)
25. Imagine Dragons -- Night Visions (18 & 3)
26. Purity Ring - Shrines (18 & 2)
27. DIIV - Oshin (17 & 3)
NOTE: I broke ties by which album appeared on the most number of ballots.
Thanks for voting! Tell us how we screwed up!

Damn, nice work.
I didn't vote because I haven't listened to many whole albums this year.
I blame itunes, Sirius satellite radio, and my short attention span.

Nice work.
I think we got it right, at least at the very top.

2012 was a good year for music.

I can only bitch so much since I didn't vote, but the fact that Kendrick and Frank Ocean aren't in the top-10 amazes me. I also would have put Beach House and Alt-J in there, but that's just personally

Excellent work. Music board has pretty good taste. Wish Gary Clark Jr. would've made it higher though, love his debut.

Good job and thanks for taking this on for the board...
The only think I can surmise from the list is, my musical taste is very out of step with the rest of the music board...

BTW, the droppies are a clustedhump now!!

Opposite. Sick and tired of seeing Frank Ocean at the top of so many lists. Very hit and miss.

Not a bad list.

It's not as diverse as I'd like, but that reflects our users. We're a pretty rock heavy crowd. And I was voting for Cloud Nothings, too.
I am surprised how well the Avetts did. I kinda thought the general feel of this album was that it was good, but nowhere near their best stuff. Instead, it got some really strong marks from the Board, and made the top ten. That was probably my most surprising result.
That, and for all of the talk American Aquarium gets on this board, they appeared on precisely one ballot (albeit getting 15 points).

Good work man.
Upon TD music boards request I checked out the top two albums earlier this year. I got into Japandroids right off. Cloud Nothings took a little longer to grow on me. I love Attack on Memory now. Can't stop putting it on.

Didnt vote but Im really suprised Kendrick Lamar and Gary Clark didnt make the top 10. Especially Kendrick Lamar.

Well done sir thank you.
Itll be interesting to go back to the previous album of the year threads throughout last year to see where we all were then and what music survived to make the list afterwards.

Channel Orange outside top 10 = opinions invalidated.

I would switch 1 and 2 and move 9 way up
