Yeah I remember being blown away and thinking everyone who already made their year end list failed. :ROFLMAO:
It’s so rare for a big release to come that late in the year - probably for the reason you mentioned - that I honestly thought it was a 2015 record. Courtney Barnett might sneak into my top 10 after all. Although Depression Cherry has been sounding really good today...
