Nah December albums are sent into Staff purgatory because idk all people including staff are impatient and can't do this in January for some reason

In an alternate timeline, Jeffery Bigglestein's key demand was for January retrospectives, he bowled over the powers that be with his diplomacy, kindness and wit, and he succeeded

I missed it, but I think Sowing banned him for some review. He created an alt, made a farewell list, and said something about how he's making a documentary about his Sput character. So there's that to look forward to

We release our annual feature in December to remain competitive as a publication.
I didn't ban Biggles, but I would have. His reviews became straight up spam at a certain point. Any cleverness he once had evaporated.

Sowing didn't ban him. I did.

Back to the Avalanches — I’ve listened to this at least once a day since release, and I think it’s safe to say this is a solid 5 for me now. Each fresh listen I find something new to love (on my drive home tonight, “Overcome” was the standout . . . such an emotionally fulfilling instrumental!). This may be a hot take, but I think this is the group’s best album full stop. SILY is amazing, I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, it soundtracked my first kiss and my first acid trip and on and on, but this album just resonates with me in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time. AOTY and already one of my personal favs of all time, an instant classic

I hear ya Doc, keep uncovering more gems with each listen, and I've been spinning this a lot.
If Spotify did their year in review at the end of December, this would be easy top 5 for me.

Yeah I just listened to this driving at night for the first time and it was transcendent.

Preach y'all. Listened to this literally 3-5 time a day for like a week now.
But a classic needs to stand the test of time. If I'm still uncovering more from this in march, then I'd say it will reach the 4.5 tiers

Was hoping I'd really like this but its just...ehhh.
Since I Left You is pretty fucking great tho. Maybe I shoulda listened to this first before SILY because this reaaaally pales in comparison.
|

Really enjoying this, especially the song with mick jones.
Everything pales in comparison to SILY (classic!)
However, lotta gems here and generally a great album worth the repeated listens.

Surely pitchfork is as irrelevant as we are these days?

Pitchfork lost it when they started prioritizing every middling mainstream pop/R&B/rap album over everything else. I don't think I've valued an opinion of theirs in over 5 years. With that said, their year end list this year was comparatively not terrible. I was pleasantly surprised. In fact I like their top 10 better than ours lol.

Agreed with all of that ^

the p4k top 10 is basically ours with everything that isn't latte indie swapped out for latte indie

^exactly why I prefer it

I’m with you sowing mate.
Pitchfork had Dylan in its top 10 which was lovely to see but that site doesn’t half push some absolute dross.
