Apologies, I copied and pasted rsther than transcribing snd didn't spot that.

I'd like to nominate Mikal Cronin's MCIII.
I'm not sure it's my absolute favourite album of the year - although it might very well be - but I find the lack of love for it quite baffling.

Very pleased to see so many positive comments about Damien Jurado's 'Brothers And Sisters Of The Eternal Son'. I'm completely knocked out by this album - I've already played it 4 times (in 10 days) and I very seldom do anything like that (I think the last time was Father John Misty's 'Fear Fun'). If...

While I think 2013 has been one of the richest years (I could make a top 40 albums list with only album I really enjoyed which is a first, by far), I don't feel like there has been any instant classic, neither on the current EOY top 10 nor in my personal one... I couldn't agree more Nassim, and it'...

Me too, and me too.

Not mentioned so far:

Pere Ubu - Lady From Shanghai (1/7)
Villagers - Awayland (1/14)
John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts (3/11)

Also, of course, the outstanding 3 of the 4 albums that Guillemots were supposed to be releasing during 2012!
