Perhaps a blood from a stone thread from the monthly vote but which is your favourite from those that you've heard?
I won't be counting these up. Just a bit of fun if you can be bothered.

  • The War On Drugs versus Sun Kil Moon again

    Yay!

  • Luke Abbott or Andy Stott

    the only other album in that list I have heard is The Antlers, and that was their weakest album so far, so not that.

    I should listen to The Hum I suppose, since their last album had potential.

  • The War On Drugs, The Antlers, Hookworms.

    BarriElCastell | 1 Dec '14, 16:40 | X
  • I've not heard half of these

    But Benji would be my pick
    Then the Twilight Sad
    the War on drugs
    Andy Stott.

    Also listened to EMA, but I didn't really care for it

  • Only

    Sharon Van Etten & Aphex Twin for me.

    Can appreciate why the others have been acclaimed but just not up my street really. I think Hookworms and EMA will be the only albums on this list I'll give some more time.

  • Benji

    Closely followed by Syro

    bornin69 | 1 Dec '14, 17:38 | X
  • Twilight Sad for me

    Followed by Sharon Van Etten

    Lambchops | 1 Dec '14, 17:59 | X
  • joyce manor!

    then sun kil moon
    then twigs

    don't like the rest of them

    fuckyeahdubstep | 1 Dec '14, 18:52 | X
  • Aphex + FKA tie

    found both SVE and EMA to be a little underwhelming, ditto East India Strife.

    sunstroke_house | 1 Dec '14, 19:54 | X
  • Joyce Manor all the way

    orangejuice | 2 Dec '14, 11:53 | X
  • Andy stott for me

    Not my album of the year though. Speaking of which, are we doing a users' poll this year? I don't mind organising it if nobody has volunteered already...

    remittanceman | 2 Dec '14, 21:30 | X
  • EMA & Aphex Twin

    Stringly | 2 Dec '14, 21:51 | X
  • Joyce Manor & Aphex Twin

    ThirstyDog | 3 Dec '14, 02:53 | X
  • Aphex Twin, War on Drugs and Twilight Sad.
