  • Album of the Year 2022

This thread is what it says on the tin. Nominate your album of the year for 2022.

Nothing has quite caught me like George FitzGerald’s ‘Stellar Drifting’ album:

Honourable mention goes to Yann Tiersen’s ‘11 5 18 2 5 18’:

With very little thought and in no particular order …



True, if you are a bit daft at maths or just being pedantic about others gist.

Nice to see SM001 post his top 375.

Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Cheat Codes

And then probably Loz Goddard and Rival Consoles.

    hugopal it’s mid November

    Eligibility for ‘Album of the Year’ in the Grammy awards is actually the albums from October-October in the preceding year.

    NME always did their album of the year issue the week before Christmas, meaning any albums released in mid December onwards probably go into the next year’s selection. Etc…

        SM001 another vote for this

        The Daniel Avery and Yeah Yeah Yeah album also highly recommended

          There’s only one at the moment and thats the album I listen to on a weekly basis. The brilliant
          Awe Kid - Body Logic

          Daniel Avery - Ultra Truth
          Warpaint - Radiate Like This
          Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool it Down

          Sea Power - Everything was forever
          The Smile - A light for attracting attention
          Alvvays - Blue Rev

          I like that Yeah Yeah Yeah’s album - SOTEOFTW and Wolf are two of the years best tracks but it’s only 5 or 6 tracks and two filler tracks.

            Wally Burning is a belter of a track from the album

                RichM Aye, tbf that’s decent as well. Quite the drop off after that. Album needed at least two more tunes to be an AOTY contender I reckon.

                  Wally Sea Power - Everything was forever

                  They’re still kicking about? I always liked their stuff but never followed them closely enough to pay attention to their release schedule.

                    mono-stereo 1 each you cunts. Fucks sake.

                    Atta boy Mono. You’re allowed to have an honourable mention, but should make a hard decision on what deserves the hardware.

                      After much deliberation with myself. And a few train beers on the Bullet train to Shin-Osaka, I’d like to confirm that Awe Kid’s “Body Logic” is the album of the year.

                      deadhead nice to see two bangers that were in the top tunes from rscouses thread.

                        Daniel Avery and Beach House for me.

                        Forgot this earlier. It’s not the best album of the year, but in the top 5 for me.

                        Warpaint - Radiate like this
