...the 'posh' thing is more of a disclaimer, since everyone always fucking bangs on about it. Fair enough really.

Enjoy the show!

Cheers for the clarification, though, seems what 4AD posted on their website and what actually happened caused confusion.

Thanks again, Sloan!

This isn't a Guardian Editorial...no particular negativity to Thom's actions in the article. Relax.

...discuss, seriously!

...

There's always next year etc.

Christmas money, here I come.

Easy to mix those two up, to be fair.

Great choice for no. 2. It's probably the best "sounding" record of the year, if not the actual best. A masterpiece. Spangly.

Shit lyrics, mind.

...seems to be temperamental. Thought I'd leave it for now, click the link to their blog instead.

...but 8 out of your top 10 are in our top 20, and only one doesn't feature in the list at all?! ODD.

AS IF it's the best album of the year!

...playing ridiculously loud - that's a much bigger problem in my opinion - one night and that's it, Tinnitus for the rest of your life is a bit riskier than anything an mp3 player can do to your ears, even over time.

6 is a fair score.

...you didn't link to your amazing piece on how to make DOOM's album cover better. You should have!

Soon there'll be nobody left - and then WHAT?

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

...to be honest.

...I've listened to it once through and I think it's too dense for its own good. Makes me feel a bit overcome with sound listening to it, which for some is a good thing, but seemingly not for me!

Anyway, massively looking forward to this, if the new stuff is anything to go by, which I'm sure it is. They're going to be the next decade's Hefner, but hopefully a bit bigger.

Really looking forward to the new one, could be their best yet, given what new stuff I've heard so far.

If she feels this way, she could leave the label without TOO much of a fuss, for the same reasons, rather than slagging off Big Dada, which just seems really fucking petty.

Merci!

...only other than to upload stuff to embed it onto our pages. Should investigate a bit more...

...it's not an attempt to make it sound all scuzzed up, but the sound quality and clarity isn't particularly great throughout, which is fine 'cos it doesn't really matter when you've got tunes like they do.

...but had a re-release this year. I think.

...if anyone was wondering...

And it's actually encoded in the text for this article, but not appearing on the page, which is fairly baffling...

It's shocking value for money. I mean, what the fuck are you actually paying for? A limited edition APPLE shaped USB stick, great!

.

Leading so far, I think.

Half-tempted to leave it in, tbh.

You just won't get to see them!

YES!

...have to be two of the worst album covers of all time.

...an album of 13 songs with 4-5 amazing songs and little else is given the same mark as something which is just the right side of average-good throughout. Problem is people seem to take the score more seriously than the words which is perhaps a little silly when there's been 750 of them written.
