Great news!

Although CMAT is probably a shoe-in. A pity, her album was only released in the last eligible week (ie last week!).

I wonder what song they will perform live at the ceremony...

I'd love to see either Pulp or FKA Twigs win it.

The PinkPanthress album is probably my favourite there after More, but half I haven't heard.

Ballsy to release an album just over 20 minutes long. Where does an EP stop and an LP begin...?

Fender and Fontaines probably the biggest challengers to CMAT. Can't see Wolf Alice or Pulp being "allowed" to win it twice. St PJ Harvey is a one-off.

Weed, if you're reading, you're in Newcastle right? Tickets are available and not too expensive.

I noticed CMAT and her music when she released her 1st album. Very happy to see her on the list again. Tried to listen to some albums from the shortlist this morning, but, honestly, some music styles are not for me. ... Hard to say who's gonna win. But 4 nominated is pretty cool.

I think only Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys have more noms with 5 while this is Wolf Alice's 4th in a row.

So this means that Pulp have been nominated 4 times (His 'n' Hers, Different Class, This is Hardcore and More).

Only PJ Harvey has won twice and this was based off 4 nominations so you never know...

I think her being a singular, female artist in a still male-dominated area and the fact that Let England Shake - her second album to win - was a kind of state-of-the-nation address, helped her cause second time round.

Also, I can't remember what the competition was like that year but this time round it's pretty tough. Fontaines, Fender and CMAT are all beloved by critics and young folk.

They arent particularly sentimental in selecting the winning album as proved when Blackstar did not win in 2016 as many (well pretty much everyone) expected.  Also given English Teacher won last time out, they will probably select something less indie/alternative, but it would be nice if Pulp did win.  A bit surprised that none of suedes comeback albums were not nominated and down the years, there have been a few excellent albums that were not nominated (Dog Man Star??) and some absolute duffers that were.  Still cant believe M People won in 1994, though preferable to Take That.
