btw if Caribou or US Girls wins this it will be the biggest disgrace in Canada's cultural history

nothing worse than artists getting retrospective props for the much better music they used to make, after making really mediocre albums

well there's a few things worse but

I love that Caribou album so, so much in the context of his discography! US Girls is the weakest of the last three amazing albums tbh but it's still A+ imo

Objectively I think the "best" album here is... the nêhiyawak album. It's crazy, crazy good, I can't believe this band just shat out "the best album XTC never made" as their first offering.

Can you imagine something even approaching this wild even getting on the Mercury shortlist let alone winning?
