Not sure I agree, it's a good album but better than...
Treasure - Cocteau Twins
John Martyn - Solid Air
Grand Prix - Teenage Fanclub
If you're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian
Mogwai Young Team - Mogwai
Sunshine on Leith - Proclaimers
The Great eastern - The Delgados
100 Broken Windows - Idlewild
Darklands - The Jesus and Mary Chain
I reckon it could be something to do with you are only allowed to vote for one album per artist so it probably split the votes...
