The Guardians reaction to the Mercury shortlist -
"My own favourite album on the list comes from Wild Beasts, whose music is hard to quantify (though you could reductively describe them as indie-pop). The Kendal four-piece have many remarkable strings to their bow: two lead singers capable of singing both in falsetto and baritone, an intrinsic understanding of rhythm and groove, a gift for visceral and poetic lyrics. They are also just the kind of band who could benefit from the exposure a Mercury win would bring them: they're near enough the mainstream to accumulate a growing fanbase and critical praise, but without that translating to significant sales – yet."
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.
Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.
