Real shame Everything Everything didn't get a spot :(

Has to be Florence & The Machine for me! Haven't heard of a couple though.

I would love Wolf Alice to get it :wub:

 

Even if Florence is my album of the year so far :wub:

I don't particularly care but out of that lot I would like Jamie XX to win.

 

Pleasantly surprised to see Aphex Twin there and all Florence deserves is a lifetime of Noel Fielding impersonations.

Shocked Everything Everything didn't get nominated :o I actually thought they were going to win it!

 

Wolf Alice to win hopefully, by far the best album there and easily one of my favourites of the year :heart:

Hoping Florence gets it because it really is a big step up from Ceremonials from me. Wolf Alice would be an excellent choice too though.

 

SOAKs album was quite nice, she has a really nice relaxing little thing going on but I sort of forgot to go back to it, same with Slaves but I think that is definitely the better album, they'd be good winners too!

Jamie xx for me off that list then.. haven't heard the C Duncan album but “Garden” is single of the year material so will definitely be checking it out now.

Florence or Jamie xx for me, I don't think Wolf Alice have a chance of winning this, if they pull it off, I'll be totally amazed.

Jamie xx for me. Quite underwhelming, and I don't think Florence's album was her best by a long run and Everything Everything deserved a nomination for sure.

Boooooo - No Marina :(

Would love to see C Duncan win it - great wee album. Or for Aphex Twin to pick it up after such a long time at it. Ghostpoet would be cool too.

 

But it'll be something I don't really get like Jamie XX or SOAK.

 

Didn't think a great deal of the Wolf Alice album. One or two decent songs but their sound has been horribly diluted since their early EPs.

Happening tonight :o (BBC Four at 9.30 if anyone wants to catch it)

 

Odds:

11/4 Benjamin Clementine

3/1 Jamie xx

8/1 Eska

11/1 Wolf Alice

12/1 Ghostpoet

12/1 Aphex Twin

14/1 SOAK

16/1 Slaves

16/1 Roisin Murphy

16/1 C Duncan

20/1 Gaz Coombes

25/1 Florence + The Machine

 

I really liked the Ghostpoet & Wolf Alice albums (from the ones I hadn't heard before the list reveal) :D

 

Jamie xx/Ghostpoet/Benjamin seem the most likely contenders imo, and i'd be happy with any of those~

I only just realised that Rosin Murphy is up for this.

Soak or C Duncan for the prize.

and Benjamin Clementine picks up the prize :D

 

Benjamin's album was the one I bought when the shortlist was first announced and it's deceptive. It sounds great from the previews, Antony & the Johnsons style great, but the lyrics are just awful when you listen to it - like so bad they're laughable.

 

Was hoping Wolf Alice would win, by far my favourite on the list :(

I can't say I've heard everything but, from those I have, Florence and Jamie XX are by far the best there.

I just think his voice is really meh. Just sounds like Antony Hegarty and I really don't like his voice either. Just sounds really put on and false - not natural at all

I didn't even hear that the prize had been awarded this weekend...and I've never heard of the winner.

 

Managed about 45 seconds of 'London' on Youtube before I had to switch it off.
