I hadn't listened to Iggy Azalea before, but good grief that accent is awful. Come on, you're from fucking Mullumbimby!
I'm in total agreement about that dire Planningtorock album. Truly horrendous. It's like she sat down one day, briefly thought it would be cool to do an album about how all love is equal, and then booked some studio time and wandered in without bothering to actually come up with any interesting music or insightful lyrics. It's as if she expected the importance of the concept would somehow cause genius to occur, or obscure any shortcomings. That album is perfect proof that it doesn't matter how good your message is; if you don't bother to write good music or lyrics, it will still be unlistenable shit.
Though my least favourite album of the year is Anathema dropping their third turd in a row on their legacy. Good grief, every song sounds the same - cliche and predictable twinkly shit striving to pull at cheap heartstrings, and with Danny Cavanagh's voice increasingly thin and strained as he tries to sing in some "ethereal" manner that is not suited at all to his natural style (as on the band's late nineties albums). Please, Anathema, just stop.
