Anyone interested in this? Got any opinions?
The Mercury Music Prize is a respected album of the year award here in the UK, and is famed for being a little more credible and musically orientated than other awards. The nominations this year are;
Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions
I Am Kloot - Sky at Night
Dizzee Rascal - Tongue N' Cheek
Paul Weller - Wake up the Nation
Corinne Bailey Rae - The Sea
The xx - xx
Villagers - Becoming a Jackal
Kit Downes Trio - Golden
Foals - Total Life Forever
Laura Marling - I Speak Because I can
Wild Beasts - Two Dancers
Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More
I haven't heard all the albums yet, but my favourites atm are Foals, The xx and Corinne Bailey Rae. Corinne's album I was especially surprised by! It's like she's suddenly grown some balls and produced a really feisty album! I love it!
I thought there were some glaring omissions to the list that I was disappointed by. The Cribs, 'ignore the ignorant' I thought was an incredible album....and 'Hidden' by These New Puritans I thought sounded pretty exciting and was worth a nomination at least.
anyone have any thoughts?
