Haan Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Missed July, I'm so sorry Vince Staples. Anyway, 1. Pink Siifu - GUMBO'! 2. Boldy James and The Alchemist - Bo Jackson 3. Indigo De Souza - Any Shape You Take (also takes the crown for album art of the year so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 1. Turnstile 2. Halsey 3. Chvrches That last week was really killer, and I still haven't gotten around to Indigo De Souza, Big Red Machine and Donda yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John the Moth Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 1 Jade Bird - Different Kinds of Light 2 Killers - Pressure Machine 3 Children Collide - Time Itself Not really listened to much new stuff in August. Jade Bird is the only one of the above I’ve listened to more than once. Joy Formidable wasn’t horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I just counted this morning's posts as they didn't affect the top three anyway. 5. Chvrches - Screen Violence (18 points) Apple Music Spotify Three points ahead of Big Red Machine, a somewhat return to form from Chvrches gets them fifth place. 4. Jungle - Loving In Stereo (18 points) Apple Music Spotify A late post from @Quarksees Jungle shoot up to fourth. They ended up level on points with Chvrches but Jungle got more 1st place votes than Chvrches did, so gave them fourth based on that. 3. Turnstile - Glow On (26 points) Apple Music Spotify I was surprised to see this so high up but a resounding third place for Turnstile. 2. Halsey - If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power (27 points) Apple Music Spotify Halsey narrowly beats Turnstile into second place. I'm not sure she'd normally place this high but this is a very good album, turns out getting Trent and Atticus in is what you need to do well in the eFests album of the month tournaments, which I'm sure is what everyone is aiming for. 1. The Killers - Pressure Machine (32 points) Apple Music Spotify A predictable but well deserved winner. Brandon and the lads continue their recent return to form with their most stripped back album yet. --------- That leaves the albums of the month so far as below: The Killers - Pressure Machine Halsey - If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power Turnstile - Glow On Inhaler - It Won't Always Be Like This Dave - We're All Alone In This Together Snapped Ankles - Forest of Your Problems Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend Sault - 9 Lucy Dacus - Home Video Iceage - Seek Shelter Squid - Bright Green Field St. Vincent - Daddy's Home Royal Blood - Typhoons Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg The Coral - Coral Island Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark Bicep - Isles Black Country, New Road - For the First Time Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Carnage Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club For Those I Love - For Those I Love Mogwai - As the Love Continues Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams Shame - Drunk Tank Pink 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Some interesting observations (to me anyway): Halsey (6), Turnstile (6), Big Red Machine (5) and Jungle (5) all received more first place votes than The Killers (4) but Pressure Machine being everyone's second favourite album (8 votes) won it for them. Big Red Machine only got 5 votes, all of which were first place. A few of us loved it, the rest have had enough of constant chat about The National, Bon Iver and Taylor Swift apparently. The people who liked Turnstile's album really liked it. It didn't receive any third place votes, 6 first place and 4 second place sealed top three for them. Halsey was similar, although one extra third place vote was enough to finish above Turnstile. Lorde, something of a forum favourite before this album, only getting 5 points really highlights how disappointing Solar Power was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Cheers interesting results. Need to do a bit more listening to solidify how I feel about this months albums but they have actually been a bit meh for me this month. Could be that some will grow on me and I will keep them in rotation for a while yet and I have a few more to add based on votes in here so thanks to all those as always putting new music in my ears!

I actually liked Lorde's a lot more than I thought I would. Just wasn't coming out ahead of the other 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I didn't even notice it when it played which isn't a great 1st spin but I will hopefully hear it again over the weekend.

Pretty good on first listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
