just listening to XX for the first time on Spotify... I don't think there will be a second

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

I haven't heard the whole XX album but that Islands track is excellent.

Yes, yes it is. May I recommend Crystalised. Top choon also.

If I'd given up on every song which I didn't enjoy on first listen then I'd have missed out on some truly great music.

That album really does get better with a couple of listens, worthy winners in my book

It's a great album and they are worthy winners. I agree with the give it a few listens.....it really draws you in.

 

[Albumen]

Well I lasted this long without finding out the 'winner' of that worthy prize (that record lables have to pay for get an album submitted).
xx - that album suits the prize - a dull, one dimentional idea maskerading as a good thing.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Thank god somone else agrees. The XX are f***ing BORING.

Yes, DULL, dull is a good word to describe them.

 

[Simster]

I've just realised that the woman out of The XX would make a good candidate for Chesney's thread.

Atmospheric is the word you're looking for

Quite bizarre watching Miranda Sawyer and Lauren Laverene with their bumps while my missus shifts around uncomfotably with her own huge 37 week bump. Is EVERYONE pregnant?

I missed this comment last night.

Haha, YES. My wife is 31 weeks gone, and we were indeed chuckling along these lines while we watched.

 

[Wilko]

Mumford & Sons for me. May be a bit too predictable though, isn't the winner often not the obvious choice? (other than Arctic monkeys one year)
