Yay for Weyes Blood pulling the upset! I thought it had a chance to win but because of enthusiasm vs. getting the highest number of votes....interesting to see the enthusiasm for NFR was higher but it got 5 fewer votes than TR. This is the most interesting AOTY pick we've had in some time.

Great rollout, Holden!

I am happy that Weyes Blood won, though I still find the singing mediocre at best. Also glad that NFR did not win, as Lana's vocals are incredibly lethargic and remains the main reason I can't quite be an LDR fan.

Weyes Blood was my No. 18. It's an unexpected winner to me, but a nice surprise. Thanks for the presentation, Holden.

I love NFR, but this is a great nickname/insult for it.

^ Pretty funny typo if it was an accident.

Thanks for all the hard work Holden. Titanic Rising is a fantastic album and a well-deserved winner. Great to see Grey Area in the top ten too. Kudos to mileswide for the informed write-up.

Nice roll out, and nice surprise win. Since I had Nos. 1 and 2 at 3 and 21 respectively, I'm happy with the result.

Cheers Matski! Hope it encourages you to listen to Simz's A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons (generally darker than GREY Area) and Stillness in Wonderland (broadly more neo-soul-ish) if you haven't already :music-rockon:

I feel the same way, she has no energy and her lyrics are like a female stand up comedian from the 00s without the jokes. Lots of relationships cliches with no insight or depth.

Shout out to acroamor and Holden for their work on the EOY polls. I enjoyed the rollout very much!

On the Titanic Rising victory - it’s only the second AOTY in AMF history to finish outside the Critics’ top five for the year (The Life Pursuit was the first, topping the poll in 2006) It’s definitely a hell of an upset, but it’s a deserving #1.
