DiS Users' June 2023 Album Of The Month

VOTE FOR YOUR TOP FIVE ALBUMS!!

Vote for your favourite five albums. 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 five mentioned as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. No joint positions please. Sorry to be a pedant.

Your album of the month will get five points, 2nd placed album four points, 3rd placed album three points, 4th placed album two points and 5th one point. If you name only one album I’ll give that five points. If you name two albums I’ll score them with five and four points etc. You get the message.

My choices:

1. Dream Wife - Social Lubrication

2. Jenny Lewis - Joy’All

3. Hand Habits - Sugar The Bruise (EP)

4. Body Type - Expired Candy

5. ?

A quiet month for me. My top pick Dream Wife were the band of the month for me. Saw them three times live in June and really like there new one. It’s more of the same of the in yer face rock and they’ve now a brilliant catalogue of work under them. Live is where the band really shines though.

My other picks were albums that I kind of didn’t mind and might revisit and I typed them there with no real enthusiasm.

Always a lot of great recommendations from you guys about albums that I’ve missed or overlooked. Not sure what else is out tomorrow so I’ll see what you guys come up with.

Please forgive any shameless bumps of this thread during the week. I’ll keep this thread open until Sunday 9th June and so you’ll have over a week to listen to tomorrow’s releases if there’s anything out before choosing.

Vote now!! (Or later in the week) but make your choices clear please.

Do you wanna wait 48 hours to post this as it might get lost in transition to the new forum?

Looking forward to this.

I’ve seen her live twice. Once when I bumped into @GarethI when she supported Hand Habits.

The Hand Habits EP out this month is pretty good too.

Edit. I see you’ve Hand Habits in your long list.
