    Mark's comments at the beginning got me looking at upcoming album releases this year. And okay, we've got Hozier, Spanish Love Songs, Lydia Loveless, Noname, Creeper, Turnpike Troubadours...yeah, wouldn't be too shocked if one of them turned in a 10/10 album either.

      I think Hozier has a chance to be my album of the year at least. There’s definitely other albums I love this year so far, but all 4 songs that are out right now are all fantastic

    To think that *Jessie Ware* would've topped this list if Hurricane Isbell didn't come along is just utterly *WILD* to think about.

      i had a very similar feeling when i heard weathervanes... jessie ware also had my AOTY on lock until the tornado blew everything apart. and i also only thought what's your pleasure was pretty good! but weathervanes is just undeniable man, even if i return to that feels good a little more.

    Weathervanes is easily my fav album of the year. In every way that album is a masterpiece. Story telling and song writing has never been this just emotional and at the same time relatable. This album also has stunning vocals and Jason’s best production ever. Also every song on it is my song of the year that’s how good it is.
