We're living in cloud cuckoo land. We actually eliminated Amnesiac.. By a lone vote.
But once again, we are hungry for a lynching.
We are down to the final ten. Five Radiohead. Five Kanye. Pretty nice balance. Be sure to pick your least favorite album.
Poll will run through TONIGHT at 11:30 PM Central.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

I don't want to just talk about Kanye, so shout out to Amnesiac. Like Spinning Plates > Life in a Glass House is in the top 3 album closers Radiohead made. (my other two favorite final pairs are OK Computer and King of Limbs).
Packt Like Sardines and Pyramid Song are a great opening pair as well.
Maybe I was just salty I had no Amnesiac songs at my Radiohead stop. Get it outta here!

I voted for graduation last round in an attempt to save amnesiac because it is basically tied with kid a as my favorite RH album. The bends is the worst radiohead album left, but after listening Yeezus again yesterday, I am of the opinion that one has to go. I actually like a lot of the music on Yeezus (the Arca and gessafelstein production in particular), and think it's probably the most musically interesting outside of MBDTF, but his lyrics and delivery just undercut the impact and make it a chore to listen to for me. Like, he is such a perfectionist on his beats, but then throws a bunch of unfiltered kanye thoughts on top. And maybe that's what some people enjoy about it and find fascinating, but I guess I just don't really give a shiz about what he is saying; it comes off as a bit lazy and uncompelling. Even when he is not being misogynistic and is addressing social issues he doesn't do it with any depth. And I think it seems a little bit off-putting to use such a weighty Nina Simone sample to lament a lost love - feels cheap.
tl;dr: Kanye put out an "experimental" album of pretty good music that is completely ruined when he opens his mouth.
My momma was raised in the era when Clean water was only served to the fairer skin Doing clothes you would have thought I had help But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself You see it's broke ninja racism That's that "Don't touch anything in the store" And this rich ninja racism That's that "Come in, please buy more What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain? All you blacks want all the same things" Used to only be ninjas now everybody playing Spending everything on Alexander Wang New Slaves

I can deal with Yeezus losing in the next few rounds. Its the most polarizing album left. It made it top 10 and likely top 9. But then there are two radiohead albums that need to be on the chopping block
