I'm surprised more people who vote in this poll dont vote in metal poll considering the amount of non-metal (we're very loose on definitions) we have nominated.
Why not vote?
Can't imagine the metal massive is waiting on a 5 album ballot that consists of Jute Gyte and four others, which is why I'm staying away from yr fine poll.

this was such a huge improvement over her debut

(I'm also somewhat of a sucker for hearing something fresh that was partly done with analogue synths.)

absolutely. I went from not caring about her at all to being a fan.

lbi why? last year we had people voting only for 1 album. There's no minimum voting. If people looked at the nominations it might just surprise them how much is nominated that they actually like or might like if they gave it a listen.
there's a playlist too https://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/74IL7uL4YEy2tTiBYtRJ4G?si=hJod2droSOmYU0iRtDnmcA

Well, that was enough to add Dauwd to my "to listen to" pile. xxxp
― Jeff W, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link
(Still thinking about Dauwd: Macadam Therapy is a weak opening track for the album, too.)

ANYONE can take part. Have a look at the noms and see what you like

Agree with everyone saying the Lorde album is a big improvement over th e first. I really wasn't expecting much from her, but this album is fantastic from front to back. Not unlike The xx, she benefited greatly from adding a bit of extra energy to her songs.
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:47 (six years ago) link
The Dauwd album isn't in the list because it's completely generic and forgettable.

is it possible that fever ray got the old 78? top ten seems way too high

Is there an 11 into 10 scenario you've calculated?

i can't imagine Fever Ray getting 78'd...

Fever Ray is def coming up

2 out of 3 of miguel, kelly lee owens, and vince staples have missed out i think but i'm not sure which. no way that fever ray does though

Too low! My #1, it wasn't even close.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
I maintain this is the best Paramore album
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
this falls off a little in the last third but the highs are so high. pool is the best
― ufo, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
my favorite is still the s/t and may be forever but after laughter is completely great

Is the whole album as good as Hard Times then?

nearly all of it is

Lorde and Paramore adjacent = very appropriate. They are both in the 70s on my EOY list, solid albums boosted by half a dozen very good songs.

Forgiveness is so great also, the subtle rhythmic shift from the verse to chorus gets me every time

After Laughter was my number one. A perfect album!

"rose-colored boy" and "tell me how" are my favs. chorus on "rose-colored" is super scritti politti imo though i say this about everything i like
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:14 (six years ago) link
I didn't really like Paramore before this, but the new album is fun. Apparently it was a big flop, which is unfortunate. Lots of very catchy tunes, but I don't always love her Katy Perry-esque habit of overenunciating everything.
― Moodles, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:15 (six years ago) link
My favorite track is actually from late in the album: Caught in the Middle. I also admire the way Idle Worship successfully manages to have very Christian lyrics in a mainstream pop setting. Puritan poet Edward Taylor might have appreciated some of the humor.

I probably listened to "Tell Me How" the most often on account of having it on loop during late-night walks

Two more I thought would be here by now but probably ex-77: Stormzy and Ariel Pink (given the number of tracks nominated)
