Bowie fucking died for our sins and they give #1 to a band who has a song on their album that's a blatant Bowie ripoff fuck NME

>>69273513
Weird no idea why I said that. Good catch

The NME is utter shite, the magazine is free now because nobody was buying it, all they do is post Oasis articles nearly every day.

Also, they gave the1975 the worst band award not so long ago, now they love them.

NME might legit have the shittiest taste among all major music publications. And their blatant bias towards British bands is borderline comical.

>>69276379
They also have shit taste in British bands. I've believed for a while now that the reason that very few good British rock bands are around now-a-days is largely down to the NME pushing shit bands.

If the 1975 were self aware they'd be so good. Love Me was a pretty perfect pop song for a band like them to release. I listened to the album thinking it'd be like that and I got tricked. They got even MORE pretentious. Like fuck off, you guys are a fucking boy band OWN IT.

Only thing good about this is that now I know about Show Me The Body

I'm not reading NME OP.

I have nothing good to say about 1975 itself, but I like the album's title. Longer or overly long titles can be tongue-in-cheek and give the piece more personality than pretentious, single-word titles like "BLOND." However, there is one "So" too much there, it should've been

Nice to see a kindred spirit.
Agreed that it doesn't take itself too seriously (but I think they're entirely self-aware, unlike what some other anons said). They do a stellar job of reflecting all the shit they/we grew up loving, and do it all as one band and show a measured diversity that most bands never seem to even want to try.
Like there are actually people that don't like a single damned song on that record? Really?

Glowing Man won't make the list since Gira's burn in effigy.

>>69266829
I haven't taken NME seriously since they panned Helpnessness Blues because they chose to be offended by some benign comment Robin Pecknold made about music having no inherent cash value.

Yet they'll give a Mumford and Son's record 4/5 stars.

Tastless crybabies

>IN NOVEMBER

I write for a well-known music publication that gets some flak on /mu/ and lemme tell you, nothing pisses me off more than premature "Best Of" lists. How the fuck can you determine this shit in the fall? Makes my blood boil

Also, spoiler: record labels have an incentive to release their better records early in the year so they're more likely to make AOTY lists (by being in journalists' brains longer).

I've waited my whole life to brag in this way and also alert you, /mu/.

Did the NME use NRK to draw their conclusions as to which are the fifty best albums of 2016?
