voted xx just over dummy. similar albums in some ways - they both feel real modern. products of their times perhaps - dummy is all 90s bombast (i remember really liking "roads" at first, which quickly faded) while xx is pretty subdued and cautious. fwiw i find third and xx super super similar, and at times i wonder if third is the superior album to dummy. def still feeling my xx pick, and real surprised dummy stomped it so hard

"Bombast"? Dummy? "Bombast"?

"roads" is basically THE most melodramatic song ever
a lot of dummy is pretty chill but there are still some srsly emo lyrics there

Aren't all these albums, by definition, overplayed though? And if that's the case, any winner could be accused of being a boring choice?

I don't think anyone could accuse Speech Debelle's album of being overplayed.

When she won, did peopl eyell out "Speech! Speech! Speech! " ?
That would explain her length of award acceptance.
