A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
Apparently released in November 2012 in Japan, but released in the rest of the world in February 2013. I don't care what the rest of you fules say, it's still the best album of 2013
Urban75 Album of the Year 2013 revisited
- Thread starter Knotted
- Start date
You've got two albums that are in the top three. If that's not too much of a spoiler.

I've had three but all were rated 9th to 14th in my list of 15
There's a lot of singleton votes. The 2012 revisit was almost entirely singleton votes!

I did make a mistake Knotted. RTJ should have been Number 1. Can't stop listening to it.
Obvs no need to change it, I'm sure it will still be number 1

not for long
I put this on my list but hadn't listened to it in a while. Played it last night - so good - made me itch for a good old knees up....
10 - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push the Sky Away
Well now. How the mighty have fallen. Urban's original choice for best album of the year. Was this always overrated? Still a respectable placing.

9 - Board of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
The thing about the Boards of Canada is that they make music that is very appealing to humans. I don't approve.

Yes
8 - Run the Jewels
El-P + Killer Mike's new band. Over produced hip hop that I nevertheless like see also Yeezus.

Yes
I can't get into it tbh. I'm going to declare a disinterest.
6= - Buika - La noche más larga
Well I listen to zahir's recommendations. You should too. Some sort of jazz-flemenco sumptuousness.

6= - Caitlan Rose - The Stand In
Poppy alt-country, nothing that will tax the ears but at the same time that's the type of music that requires the most repeated listens and are really the hardest work. I gave this a good chance today. I'm getting there. The songs don't leap out and the vocals are very understated but there's a gentle vibe about them. Splendid peddle steel guitar as well.

23= - Hard Skin - Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear
This maybe my favourite name for an Oi! album. Tuneful/poppier end of it.

23= - Israel Nash - Rain Plains
Dreamy psychedelic country singer songwriter. Take a moment and vibe with this.

Yes. I've not heard it, but yes.
4 - The Ex & Brass Unbound - Enormous Door
The Ex are a rare example of a band that got better as they aged. They're also very good at collaborations. Katherina Bornefeld is the world's most underrated drummer. Like a colourful machine. Brass Unbound otoh will destroy you.

Was just you and me voting for that. I don't know what they'd do without us.
I'm not a Cave completist, but that's my favourite Bad Seeds album.
