> **[The 2016 Mercury prize shortlist: hear the albums – and see what our critics...](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/04/2016-mercury-prize-shortlist-what-our-critics-said-hear-the-albums)** > > Read what we said about this year’s 12 Hyundai Mercury prize-shortlisted albums – from Anonhi to the 1975 – and listen to them in full. And let us know what the judges have missed … ## Bowie will win, Bat for Lashes album is really good. To be honest I haven’t heard most of the others, aside from Radiohead. Then i’m biased. ---

Thanks for the link, Ted, but didn’t we vote yesterday (I was too late) to clickbait into a new window frame? Or summat. ---

Ted mauls his OP through sloppy linkage. Back in the early days, I’d fix this sort of thing. It is time to teach a man to fish. Have you ever seen that link button, TedMaul? It’s to the left of the struck-through S on your icons. Use it, man! ---

He’s just lashing out at you for seemingly just laughing in his face. Good on you mate…I’m sure you would have voted with us if you had a clue what we’re talking about. :lou_wink_2: ---
