It’s my #6! (Just scroll up a bit) His second best and I’m glad he moved back to expansive genre hopping. I'll need to acquaint myself with more KS, including Program Music II- I only became aware of PM1 after raiding your AT list last year and it quickly became a key album for me. I can't say I'm ...

Trump is a lot like his mentor, my cousin Roy Cohn. Now he's leaving like him, in disgrace. I never knew Cohn and Trump crossed paths but, considering Cohn encouraged McCarthy to ramp up the Lavender Scare, driving gay people to suicide, all the while having immunity from the Scare regarding his ow...

Hard to believe anyone's not a fan of any of the top 5- it's not the top 5 I would've chosen but it's still one to be proud of, whatever the order. Commendable set of polls, Listyguy!

I did not know that this had come out, and on first listen it looks like it'll require some revisions of my own EOY list. I don't feel all those stylistic experiments thrown together gel the same way as they did on the 1st Program Music but it's still one of the listening experiences of the year, o...

And, to correspond with what I've just said on the main 2020 list thread, I found The Naked and Famous - Recover down the back of my figurative sofa, so it gets a 4 from me.

I had plans to tag my albums list with genres but my phone thought otherwise; it probably would've been convoluted and distracting anyway, so here's the list of every album and EP I've heard this year with a few exceptions: - Only one album per lead artist in the top 100 (sorry Offering by Moor Moth...

What's the eligibility around national awards presented by public broadcasters other than the BBC? Namibia Broadcasting Corporation have such a ceremony and I'm sure I'd be able to find more winners beyond this 2011-13 overview:

But for its glacial ending, the Gösta Berlings Saga record would be higher in my affections. Thankfully, their Detta har hänt album has no such problems and, if anything, could scarcely be more backloaded. At their best, both are entrancing, invaluable discoveries!

I feel that it makes a difference that we came to this album from different perspectives.

Speaking of Actress, is this album close in sound to his earlier work? I never heard his albums before, but I know he has some fans here and I really liked this one.
