The Big Moon - ‘Love In The 4th Dimension’ Glass Animals - ‘How To Be A Human Being’ Sampha - ‘Process’ Stormzy - ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’ Loyle Carner - ‘Yesterday’s Gone’ alt-J - ‘RELAXER’ The xx - ‘I See You’ Kate Tempest - ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’ J Hus - ‘Common Sense’ Blossoms - ‘Blossoms’ Dinosaur - ‘Together, As One’ Ed Sheeran - ‘Divide’
Meh
Yeah KLO not even nominated, not really a great list but I like The Big Moon and Glass Animals albums
Goodness shit.
Kate Tempest can seem pretty awful but I saw her perform Let them eat chaos live and it was astonishingly good.
ED SHEERAN??!!
Probably the worst shortlist yet. Nothing there worthy of winning.
2007 was maybe worse. This is pretty poor though
imagine nominating fucking Ed Sheeran.
Blossoms can get to fuck as well.
They won’t give it to a grime artist two years in a row but Stormzy is streets ahead of everything on that list.
Snap prediction for who will win: Sampha
I think Let Them Eat Chaos is genuinely great though. As for Ed Sheeran, is an album still British when its co-written by a bunch of Americans?
the big moon eh, fair dos. might finally get round to getting that album. saw them a few years ago and they were good fun. defo wont win tho
my love is cool is amazing and i’m 100% with you
‘Lots of people’ - i.e. Kaiser Chiefs
Ha some people did complain I think, I just remember them seemingly being the most grumpy as they lost. Also, I think MIA walked out, though maybe she was just annoyed over losing.
That 2017 list is dire. I want Sampha to win, but likely Kate Tempest will win.
Don’t understand why Ben Clementine’s record doesn’t get much love round these parts? thought it was great and a very worthy winner in 2015
Yeah, it’s great
I think it’s a different argument though, I Am A Bird was all written by a UK born artist. Most albums are recorded in America aren’t they?
Big Moon for the win.
Fair play to the Big Moon for getting nominated but the rest of the list is very predictable and/or a snoozefest.
