Listening Project - Mercury Music Prize 2016 by mostlymor 
Once again I take a listen to the Mercury Music Prize nominations, primarily because it offers an opportunity to hear records you'd never in a million years listen to normally, because it's the most eccentric prize-giving show in music, if not all the arts, and because it's such a bold statement to have a popular music prize that's based on artistic merit more than sales or critical favour... Yet again I attempt the impossible and predict a winner - even though I've never got it right before.

Gets off to an explosive start, fireworks all over the first three tracks, but then settles into a kind of middling sameyness. And too long. Not really a great album, and I'd love to be 'right on' and 'down with the kidz' and say it was a masterpiece of the future! More unlikely albums have won the Mercury before, but I don't see it uniting a jury of such different musical and social backgrounds. CHANCES OF WINNING: May get strong support from some of the jury, but too street for affluent middle class types!?
