idk, he's already had the fortune to go straight to #1 with a debut, and it was a really crap album, so I doubt he'll get it.

I think it's between Disclosure and Savages personally.

I'm just surprised there's only one I haven't heard of (Hopkins)... there's usually some weird jazz-scat and blues nominees. Unless he's both

They'll probably choose the worst one on the list because they're so god damn quirky

I feel bad for hating on An Awesome Wave - Alt J last year now, as I probably like it more than Give to the Wild now I've given it a listen

I was more impressed with Rudimental's "Home" than "Settle" by Disclosure. The Arctic's "AM" seems to have been championed by a lot of the critics. There are also some other good artists in there, such as Laura Mvula. I think I'd opt for Rudimental, but I get a feeling The Arctic Monkeys might just win it.

Rudimental's was more of a bag of potential hits than a real album.

I think Home had a lot more meaning to the songs than just random dance tracks that could be hits.

Foals should have won when they were nominated for 'TLF'.
If 'Holy Fire' doesn't win then there is no justice.

Jake Bugg is overrated a F.
AM is decent though.

James Blake could have been special with his voice but I just find him really really dull

Limit To Your Love had potential but even that was really dull
