The rest of this album could be the sound of Mike Kinsella shitting into a metal bucket and it would still be, like, in my top five come year's end.

I pegged it more as a 'reverse KKB'. 2021 Charly Bliss is gonna be straight up chiptune.

Really glad to see IDLES nominated for British Breakthrough Act. They deserve it after their monster 2018.

This list has a criminal lack of Charly Bliss.

You and I have very different definitions of 'worse'.

No Shame. No Let's Eat Grandma. No Young Fathers. No Hookworms. No SOPHIE. No LUMP. No GoGo Penguin. No Joe Armon-Jones. No Bicep. No Mount Kimbie. ANY of them would be a better choice than Everything is Recorded.

I'm glad this was what he was doing instead of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Look, it was always gonna be hard to top This is America. But this is like following up an Olympic gold in high jump by tripping over a limbo bar.

Aussie correspondent checking in - glad to see these guys getting such a detailed write up here! 'Go Farther in Lightness' definitely made a splash in Aus but I didn't expect them to grab for America quite yet. More power to 'em!

I hope I wasn't the only one expecting another music video like the FKA Twigs/Anderson .Paak ad. In the words of my father, "I'm not angry, just disappointed."

I believe that this ought to become instantly iconic, but I also predict that it's gonna be way too weird for a lot of people. On an unrelated note: I really want a shirtless Donald Glover to teach me how to dance.

Nicki's really going all in with this whole 'appropriating East Asian aesthetics' thing, huh?

The songwriting in this one seems much more influenced by The Go-Betweens, which is definitely a plus.

'Levels' peaked when I was in middle school and it was the bomb. This hits me in a weird, nostalgic kind of place...

"The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip" sounds as much like a Sun Kil Moon song title as an Arctic Monkeys one.

Shoot - the blurb that precedes the stream on the NPR website says that they've been releasing albums for 17 years now. I'm not even that old, but I felt it just now.

As much (deserved) hate as NME gets these days, I actually think this is kind of sad. NME was the publication that got me reading music criticism and eventually led me here, among other places. NME stopping print editions is like watching an older relative slowly deteriorate and enter the final stretch of their life. You may have seen it coming a while off, but it's a blow nevertheless. RIP.

Awarding Young Fathers the Mercury Prize was easily one of the best things that has happened in British music this decade.

I've never watched the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, but after watching that clip I feel like I have.

I'm getting some serious Grace Jones vibes from that cover, for some reason.

Kind of a weird flip to go from a eulogy to Lil Peep straight into the description of that Maxo Kream track. Should I do drugs, or shouldn't I?

'Dystopian gospel' is really the only accurate way to describe Young Fathers' current sound. Either that or post-post-soul.

Between her, Ali Barter, Camp Cope, Jen Cloher, and Stella Donnelley, there are enough female Aussie rockers to keep me going for a while! Good stuff.

Maybe too early to tell, but for me: 1. Polygondwanaland 2. Murder of the Universe 3. Microtonal Flying Banana 4. Sketches of Brunswick East
