It's colder in my house, than outside at present (or at least it seems so), so will give it a spin

Didn't think it was as good as his previous effort, but will also dig it out.

That's all fair play. I'm obviously in a minority on many things Cave particularly amongst you, HT and SHC, all of whom spend a lot longer listening to music than I do -- I liked the Lawless soundtrack a lot (especially the Granddaddy cover), and thought the film was a fine caper too, and I...

I'm not picking a fight (honest) on this board, but: -- I'm not entirely convinced by it or, at least, the first five tracks which while emotional, I feel are somewhat pedestrian; that said, the last three tracks are utterly stunning -- I don't view this is a return to form; I think I preferred...

Got me too. We must be getting on.

That Christine and the Queens album is featuring on a few (commercial) lists, but I'm not so sure I've seen it on any NSCers. Does anyone have a view on it?

How I Quit Smoking is brilliant, and Thriller isn't bad too but, beyond that, it's all too samey, and the songs aren't strong enough. They're another band I've given up on.

Why is Bon Iver's album featuring so high in so many lists? I say this rarely but it's a truly shocking album. Here's a challenge: name one artist that has fallen so precipitously from initial high standards. The route from Forever Emma to everything else is the greatest swallow dive I've heard.

Resident just announced their top ten. Cave at top, Radiohead, Bowie, Kiwanuka, Obel, Underworld, Julia Jacklin, Josefin Ohrn, Thee Oh Sees, Christine and the Queens

Stone me. They're the first band I ever saw, but haven't even thought of them for decades. The better bit is they were supporting The Cure.

KC might get on mine too. The highs are so high, but my reticence is that I'm not entirely convinced there are enough of them.

I stand corrected on Moderat. Am now listening to II, which was released in 2013. I might buy III. The other album that hasn't been mentioned that I might also drag out is Melt Yourself Down.

Demonstrating @HT's comment about forgetfulness, I neglected to include Ahnoni on my rushed initial thoughts. Will rectify in due course.

I liked this year, and the following will probably be featuring in mine: The Thing (Shake), Michael Kiwanuka, Tim Hecker, Olafar Arnaulds, Imarhan Probably P J Harvey and Radiohead, perhaps Thee Oh Sees Not so sure if Cave will make mine, I love the last three tracks, but don't know if the...

Didn't Moderat III come out a year or even two ago?
