DiS Users October 2015 Album Of The Month
**VOTE FOR TWO ALBUMS**
Vote for your favourite album and also runner up the album of the month. Make your selections clear please as it makes tallying up the scores easier. If you list a whole bunch of albums without making your selections clear I'll take the first two mentioned as 1st and 2nd place. Sorry to be a pedant.
Your album of the month will get two points and 2nd placed album one point. If you name only one album I'll give that two points.
I've noticed that on occasions there's a Facebook post of this thread. On a few occasions last year I think the Facebook votes changed the AOTM compared to votes here alone. If it's acceptable I'll only give Facebook people one vote which will only get one point. It's an attempt to weight the scoring heavier in the favour of DiS users that take the time and effort to vote and discuss the albums released rather than just naming/listing artists that I've seen on the FB post. Hopefully, the end result will much more reflect the opinions of actual DiS users.
Please forgive any shameless bumps of this thread during the week. I'll keep this thread open until Sunday 8th November and so you'll have over a week to listen to tomorrow's releases before choosing.
Vote now!! (Or later in the week) but make your 1st and 2nd choices clear please.
My choices:
1st Dilly Dally - Sore
2nd Desperate Journalist - Good Luck
Dilly Dally is my AOTM by a mile. A brilliant fun album. I know that it got great reviews on DiS and on Pitchfork but I haven't seen anyone really mentioning them on the boards here. Here's a couple of tracks. Definitely worth checking out the album and band if you haven't heard of them before.

I won't repeat myself too much with Desperate Journalist but an excellent EP and follow up to their album earlier this year. I'm very interested in the Car Seat Headrest album coming out tomorrow to see if it changes my second spot. I can't see it topping my number 1 choice though.
