rob you voted for EL too! A lot of overlap generally between our lists.

the EL album is great! a ton of good songs on there, remarkably consistent for a double-album I thought. Whenever people diss Nicki Minaj for trying to do too much, I think of EL (or most major Jamaican artists for that matter) and wonder why that would be a complaint.

There weren't a ton of surprises in the poll for me, but so far my big discoveries are this quite lovely Manuel Tur album I'm listening to right now, and Lindstrom's Where You Go, which I'd never checked out before having assumed all his stuff was like Real Life Is No Cool (which I liked but don't love). So thanks poll.

Porcelain Raft released one of my favorite albums of the decade in 2012. Sad to see no-one feels the same.

That album's alright.

I'll take it! :)

i listened to it quite a bit last year, though tbh i had kinda forgotten about it

Yeah, my first couple of spins and I thought it was just solid. But I grew to love it after a half dozen spins or so.

I may see if there is already a thread on albums you love but most others find either middling or shite.

Lol just saw this last post. Shd start one if only to post abt the New Young Pony Club
