Sorry! Sound the last-minute-change klaxon.

  1. Helpless - Debt
  2. Mogwai - Every Country’s Sun
  3. Idylls - The Barn

Couldn’t leave Death From Above in there and have no place for the astounding Idylls album. It was just plain wrong.

It’s highly addictive, isn’t it? Just want to replay it instantly as soon as Revenge of The Iceman closes out.

LCD Soundsystem released the best album in September.

Oh it’s true. It’s DAMN true.

Yeah it’s one that I don’t think will ever get old. Each song has its own unique character and charm; great as isolated tracks and together as a whole. Quite rare for me to feel that way about an album these days.

If you ignore the indie darlings/bellends Protomartyr win I’ll take that

Have never really bothered listening to Ariel Pink before but Ravenscroft has been playing Time To Live on 6music a lot lately and it’s barely left my head in days. Must give the album a go

#104

Strong month. Any of the top five would have won last month easily.

Yeah definitely! Time To Live is totally infectious but just as a heads up it’s not particularly representative of the rest of the albums sound (Another Weekend & Feels Like Heaven are probably closer to the mark) but like @mouth_breather’s says , the album is quite diverse across it’s fourteen tracks and in relation to the rest of his catalogue, it’s probably his most focussed / fine tuned record yet.

#106

Ah man, not a great list

#107

Changed my mind. Just listened to the Iglooghost album and fairly certain it’ll go down as a classic in the UK Wonk/Glitch Hop scene. Fucking ridiculous the amount of ideas going on and energy on show in this album. Consider this my new number 1

Feel like Ibeyi have come close to a great album with their last two attempts, but haven’t quite reached their potential yet.

#113

Yep, I tend to agree. Such potential, but I think they need to trust themselves to experiment a little more. At times they perhaps risk veering a little too close to MOR blandness … a bit like Sampha. So, I kind of like them, but feel there is just something missing.

Liked for the Kurt Angle reference (not LCD)!
