"The Things I Say" hits so hard.

"Our lives come easy and our lives come hard / And we carry them like a pack of cards / Some we don't use but we don't discard / But keep for a rainy day"

I would like this even more than I do, if Joanna was a more pleasing vocalist. The music is fucking awesome, but she's just grading most of the time.

I have to say I disagree with regard to the vocals, but to each his own. I will admit there are a couple spots where her vocals grate a tiny bit but for the most part I love them.

Agreed Rad, this started out by blowing me away and I even considered it an AOTY contender, but it just wears you down over time in a bad way. It's still like my #12 or something this year, but it really grew off me. 101st Lightborne is still phenomenal though and always will be.

"Leaving the City" is my favorite I think. But I legit think this is even better than 3.5. Songwriting and Instrumentation are just gorgeous from start to finish. I just have really big gripes with her vocals.

This is either my 1 or 2 of the year, I'm still unable to decide between this and Father John Misty (a fairly odd pair, I know).

Well thankfully I held off putting up my end of year list three weeks ago (which I considered) because since then my no1 album for 2015 has changed lol

Yeah my list definitely isn't getting put up until early January, since I'm still working through my backlog.

"My top 10 looks pretty much the same as it did in July except this jumped all the way to the top and probably won't be moving between now and the 31st"



That is completely coincidental though. I mean you can all do what you like, but I'll continue to check stuff out until the 31st.

I mean yeah, that probably won't happen. I pretty sure my top 1 will stay as well, but I have listened to so many good music in the first 11 months, that I don't doubt that I'll discover something gud in the last month. (Not saying that you and I are disagreeing here)

I do have to empathize with the top 10 staying pretty much the same since July except for this. The first half of the year had a lot of really great stuff, but the second half has been significantly weaker.

Agreed there. Only a couple albums since July have cracked my top 15

I have eleven 4s and 4.5s combined from January though June and only two since (one of which was from July). Granted, there were a few that I had as 4s at first then bumped down to 3.5s.

My top 10 is exactly the same as it was then, maybe clanton is up there. The only difference is that while my top 10 is still my top 10, i like them all quite a bit less now than back then.
