This was my favourite album for a looooong time, but eventually it was beaten by 3 others right at the cigar-end of the year. I think what made it lose its top spot was the fact that it's over 2 hours long, and in reality it's either hard to listen to it in one go without distraction, or you could be slightly (just slightly) bored, especially during the middle of disc 2.
That's just a very minor criticism though, as it's a fantastic listen overall. The first disc alone could've been named my favourite CD of the year, with such tracks like Easy, Baby Birch, and the fan-favourite Good Intentions Paving Company, it's easy to see why it earned so much positive critical attention.
In any other year, this would probably be my number 1, and for a lot of reasons this has been my favourite listen all year. She's an exciting artist and I cannot wait for her next batch of songs.
The top 3 wont come until Boxing Day, so from myself I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
