The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

[Out on blue 6]

Unless and until Swift writes a track that goes "tied my hair back trying to look like Erling Haaland" or similar then she's not in the same league.

She's going to win the Mercury. I'm putting money on it

After a couple of listens of this I decided that Tay Tay is better than Morrissey!

Tay Tay is better than Morrissey? Interesting take haha. I’m tempted to tag a certain Mod to the thread ;)

Well, I've never seen a Morrissey show but I've seen two Taylor Swift shows and they were both entertaining.

Just checking how @BlueHammer85 is doing with his reviews catch-up before the changeover in an hour or so.

On the brilliant Nick Drake pick and will catch up by next week.

Is that really a meaningful measure of anything?

You are right though. She will likely be this year's English Teacher, who were last year's Last Dinner Party, who were the previous year's Wet Leg, who were... Everything Everything, XX, Florence, etc

Not @Mad Eyed Screamer, surely?

 

[Coatigan]

Worth noting, a brave pick by Rob as a neutral, and a solid attempt at forcing the thread somewhat out of the norm. Maybe next such one goes full on rap or something similar to really test the comfort zone.

 

[Coatigan]

Any album that includes the line "someday, I'll be living in a big old city" is a easily a country album

Interesting take. I'll think on that and put it to the test.

Sounds like maybe the other end of the spectrum of Move Away Jimmy Blue.

as much as i detest Rap, we are due one.

Might not fare better than the last two.

She might be the biggest artist in the world but it isn't enough to keep Taylor swift out of the lower depths of the Blue Moon Album Review Club league table. Speak Now was handed an average of 4.41 from 16 votes. Still, it didn't finish in the bottom 5, it lies 6th from the bottom. Thanks to everybody for giving it a listen and a review.

That marks the end of round #11, which means today we launch round #12, which also means that it's my choice.

Clues coming up, but I'll warn you that I suspect that Foggy and B&W will be all over this like Haaland on a loose ball.

[Mancitydoogle]

Sam’s Town - The Killers

 

[RobMCFC]

No in all cases.

@Mancitydoogle - I thought you'd know me better than to suggest I'd like The Killers !!!!
