White mediocrity wins as always.
I wanted TPAB to win as well but using Metacritic isn't really the best way to justify arguments when it comes to music.

I listened to Kendrick Lamar TPAB and to me Drake's IYRTITL was a better album. Kendrick tried to be too deep to me.
What does this have to do with the comment you quoted? And what is trying to be deep? Kendrick had a message and said it, if having a message in your music is problematic, then yea, stick with drake and friends' collaborations.

They're voted on by members of the academy. Simple. Beck was suspect and arcade fire.1989 made since because that skinny cac chick ran top 40 radio.

I figured as such but again, like, what is their thought process in voting for something like album of the year? I can't believe it's something as simple as, eh, Taylor Swift is popular so we'll vote for her. I'm not saying that it's some super complicated procedure but I want to believe there is an actual discussion on what constitutes an album of the year.
