Personally, I would love to see Foals win. I thought "Total Life Forever" was such an emotive, powerful album. However, I would put my money on The XX or Villagers to win. I'm actually kind of disappointed not to see These New Puritans on the shortlist, as I think "Hidden" actually deserves to win the prize.
Comment with your tips for who you think will win it, and who deserves to win it.
Possibly:
ReplyDeleteXX
Mumford & Sons
Foals
Laura Marling
Probably:
XX
Hopefully:
Foals or Laura Marling
Still, if either of the three win, I'll be happy. The XX have potential, but their debut was a bit boring and repetitive at times and should have been an EP.
Sigh No More is my 2nd most listened to album since it released, but tbh I still don't want M&S to win against this competition
