Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz Having only recently got hold of the latest Idles and Courtney Barnett albums I haven't listened to them enough to add them to the list... (but they're corkers too!) I've also purchased a fair few EPs of up and coming bands and as they don't quite constitute an album per se, they get their own list 1. Courting - Grand National EP 2. Do Nothing - Glueland EP 3. Yard Act - Dark Days EP 4. Folly Group - Awake & Hungry EP 5. The Lounge Society - Silk For The Starving EP 6. Melin Melyn - Blamonj EP 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Turnstile - Glow On In the time honoured tradition of hardcore bands being able to be labelled 'sell outs', and that sort of thing, here is Turnstile's probably not a hardcore album, album. I kind of want to hate it, but I can't, cos it's good, man. Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready Quite simply, it delivered. It's everything all of her fans would have wanted, and then some. It's a different place (emotionally, but also literally) compared to what she released previously, and I think it's better for it. The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no Longer Afraid to Die - Illusory Walls Almost like an inverted Body record, it's somewhere between 90s / midwest Emo and post-rock, with a really progressive scope. King Woman - Celestial Blues Two of my favourite albums of all time are Slint's Spiderland and Examination of the..'s Whitest of Elephants. As soon as I listened to this, I was transported to both of those albums, so a 2021 list wouldn't really be complete without a mention. Regional Justice Centre - Crime and Punishment Kicks harder than pretty much anything else I heard this year (I guess the Gulch/Sunami split was close) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 You know me, I’m not the sort to create an undue fuss. But the above is exactly the reason I sent in such a vitriolic report to the moderators about this thread. There was still almost 10% of the year left when this thread was created. As strong a sign as any of the me me me now now now culture some people have fallen victim too. Yes, some would say my missive to the mods was overly violently descriptive of what actions I wanted taken against the perp. But it was for good reason. Even now, there are still 9 more days for finds and presides. Never been so angry. I like that it has a red spine with yellow writing, so it will be easy to find. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I create at best a single thread a year at a guess. I have seen washing machine threads be more popular than anything I could muster. I wanted a sure fire winner that would go beyond 3 replies. I appreciate you are hearing Billie Eilish for the first time so want to get her on this list, don't shoot the messenger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twas one of the more disturbing pleas we’ve ever received. Death by repeated exposure to videos of John Redwood pretending to sing the Welsh national anthem, followed by a thorough beating with a rolled up copy of the 2012 Barry Town v Pontardawe Town match programme and 5 warning points. Brutal. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
