Grammys Expand Album of the Year Award Eligibility, Among Other Rule Updates

Haley Bosselman editorSince the release of their debut album in 2015, Wolf Alice has been one of those “big in England” bands who are massive in their home country, leading awards shows and winning best album prizes, while they remain relatively under the radar in the U.S.Ten years into their career, the British quartet’s masterful latest album, “Blue Weekend” — out today (June 4) on Dirty Hit-RCA — may take them out of that category. With flashes of Blur, labelmates the 1975, Radiohead and even Abba, it’s one of the most fully realized long-players of the year.Wolf Alice took their time recording the follow-up to their Mercury Prize-winning second album “Visions of a Life,” and the extra effort shows.

Rust’s June update is set to bring a whole host of changes, including AI improvements, animals, and two new systems.The first is a ‘contact system’, that according to Facepunch Studios, will allow you to scope out the likelihood of a player being an enemy far quicker.

Chris Willman Music WriterIt might be premature to proclaim Allison Russell’s solo debut the album of the year — some of her collaborators and boosters have their records that may merit being in the running, of thousands forthcoming — but “Outside Child” sure has the inside track. With 2021 not yet at the halfway point, it’s hard to imagine many other albums coming along that could match the combination of emotional potency, melodic fluency, social significance and heartrending beauty in Russell’s retelling of a lifetime’s worth of debasement and self-reclamation.
