Thanks for nominating HB

Faaip will be pleased with your Tool nomination

I didn't consider the Tool at all tbh, it's typical Tool whom I love but I would want more than typical for it to be close To album of the year

Starcrawler is an album I'd love to see in the rock poll,

The Harding will get votes from me, great album. Dope Lemon a very very close third for me too, may have to revisit that. Can't be allowed not to be in the final poll.

Edit: In fact Band Maid ain't getting votes from anyone but me so Dope Lemon is in.

Think Big Thief have released a second new album this year, not gotten round to listening to that to compare yet

I prefer it to the first.

Got it on now ...You're probably right, though UFOF was excellent

I think the vocals are better.

They're certainly stronger, love the vocal on NOT

I really like Cut My Hair

Unloved on here unfortunately Durly, their debut Colfax is even better imo!

Goon 'Heaven is Humming'

Enjoyed that, down to play again, on first play liked best
Northern Saturn
Commie At Night
Datura
Check Engine Light

didn't like Critter, found it a little old hat.

Agreed Critter feels like it's an earlier piece but put on the album anyway..Black Finch I'm not there with yet either but it feels like I might come around on that one
