If they wanted a small but excellent venue in Brighton then the Prince Albert would have been my choice.
This is the NME, so I'm guessing they mean if it holds less than 60% of Kanye West's audience it's considered a pisshole.
Definitely agree about the King Albert. I've been to the Concorde 2 countless times because, a) it's right on my doorstep, and b) they always seem to draw the best acts, but I don't know what it is about that place but the acoustics do tend to sound a bit washed-out for some reason unbeknownst to my sonically-ignorant self.
Out of Brighton, I'd vote for the Blind Tiger Club.
Agree with all the above - some sort of Brighton loyalty made me consider voting for Concorde 2 but I don't like the place very much - as others have noted, it's not that small a venue and it's not particularly comfortable - although we're still lucky to have it. I also like the Prince Albert and Blind Tiger Club (even though ceiling is absurdly low it has loads of character). Also like The Green Door Store - a very unique venue and definitely small.
