It's still a no-brainer! This Priests album is one of my faves of the year now. I LOVE The Dream Syndicate obvs, but against this particular Dream Syndicate album - which is quite good but not great - this is a really easy choice for me.

I usually love my post-punk albums but Nothing Feels Natural just didn't click with me last year. There have been so many better ones over the last couple of years. The Dream Syndicate for me.

Priests of course, my choice for the tournament, I thought it was pretty overlooked last year, and the title track deserves a lot more love

I went with Nothing Feels Natural, because I found it to be a more engaging listen. Not over the moon about either of these though. Had no problem with voting.

I don’t seem to be able to vote here; are some of you experiencing the same problem?

I had already listened to the Priests album in 2017 and didn’t really like it and have relistened to it now and still have the same feeling: there’s sth about the voice and the songs I don’t really like; so I go for
My personal choice on which I already commented
