Wondering again if I should have increased votes per user...
Personally I only went for 3, though there was lots I liked just those were all a cut above.

The results are in, and it's another 3-way tie... In third place with 4 votes is Metric - Formentera II. In joint second place with 5 votes each are Rolling Stones with Hackney Diamonds and Troye Sivan's Something To Give Each Other. But sharing this month's honours are not one, not two but three albums from legendary 80s acts: Duran Duran - Danse Macabre, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Bauhaus Staircase and Pet Shop Boys - Relentless! Thanks all for nominating and voting! November nominations thread will open tomorrow  |

Couple of things with this one... - As we've had two 3-way ties back to back now, I think I will start doing a vote-off if this happens again in the future, starting with 2024. - I have to say I'm not entirely comfortable with PSB winning as it's really a reissue of a 30-year-old album that as far as I can tell isn't even offering anything new as such, but that's on me as I didn't realise that before otherwise I would likely have removed it from the nominations list. It will of course still count for this month but going forward I intend to expand the existing rule to explicitly exclude reissues as well as deluxe editions. Let me know if any strong objections to this but I do feel this poll should be about celebrating actually current music |

The Duran Duran album is absolutely awful and painful to listen to!
