welcome
I like the Jane Weaver album. Thatâs a goodâun.
Surely whatever album they rate number one theyâll have copies of it to sell, do you mean theyâre purposely rating certain albums higher or lower based on how much excess stock they have to flog?
I see what youâre saying. However, they donât sell every record which might be considered and they havenât featured anything even near the top which isnât attached to something they are trying to sell. So, do you not sense something slightly amiss? I mean, by all means, lay aside those numerous accounts from their former bands reporting wolfish treatment. Pretend their integrity has never been a concern. Instead, just ask whether you should take such a list seriously if it was made by Amazon or Walmart.
Iâm not sure thatâs a fair comparison. Phonica and Norman Recordsâ albums of the year lists have a link to buy the records (at least they did last year) for nearly all the entries. Should we not take them seriously?
Or is your point that they are only selling entries near the top of the list rather than they are selling at all?
Real issue with the Rough Trade list is itâs fucking shit!!
Wolf Alice number 2 in NME, no idea what could be number one but Kasabianâs album hasnât come up yetâŚ
Stormzy maybe, they gave that five stars
NME No. 1 is Lorde
Lolâde
Arcade Fire ahead of Julie Byrne and Peaking Lights on this list is hilariously bad (mind you, so is the inclusion of Everything Now in any AOTY list)
Consequence of Sound
yeah decent list, can see Lorde pipping Kendrick on the collated AOTY list
although lol itâs early days but lead by LCD
6 Music presenters voted for Thundercat.
Heâs such a lovely man. Little video I shot with him Redirecting...
This is pretty damn (no pun intended) good list imo
Paste
This is pretty similar to my provisional album of the year list bit surprised at how little love the Toby Driver record.
