2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 3, Part 4 (Current)

Post by Holden »

Hello! Welcome to Round 3 of the 2021 AMF Tournament of Champions! Here are the rules for this game overall, as a refresher:

Each of the 27 competitors submitted one album and ten songs. The ten songs each compete in one of ten rounds, each with a different type of competition. Meanwhile, the albums will be rated (out of ten) as time goes on. After each round, each competitor will receive points based on their performance in the round. At the end of all ten rounds, the points will be totaled from each round and the rating of the album, and a winner will be declared!

This week's rules:
The third round is going to involve ranking randomly categorized songs. Each week you will get nine songs, and you must rank them. This is the final week of this round, with the top three songs from each of the past three weeks. Here are your songs:

Angus and Julia Stone | Heart Beats Slow
Aretha Franklin | Border Song
Belle and Sebastian | The Blues are Still Blue
David Bowie | Lady Stardust
Django Django | Giant
R.E.M. | Sweetness Follows
Sherbet | Howzat
The Wedding Present | Dalliance
Waxahatchee | bathtub

Playlist


Please rate albums from this list out of ten. You can do this in any order, but please post in the most recent thread!

However I will be 'featuring' one album a week to make them more digestible. This week's album is:

Image
Madness | The Liberty of Norton Folgate (2009)



Alright, in conclusion:
Rank all nine songs above! You have exactly seven days (April 10th) from the time of this post!

Additionally, rate albums from the list out of ten. You can do this at whatever pace you like, but post your ratings in the most recent thread! And you can always rate previously featured albums as well!

Perhaps a bit late to mention it, but Holden, your playlist contains all 27 songs of round 3 instead of just this week's entries.

1. Belle and Sebastian | The Blues are Still Blue
2. Aretha Franklin | Border Song
3. Sherbet | Howzat
4. Django Django | Giant
5. David Bowie | Lady Stardust
6. Waxahatchee | bathtub
7. The Wedding Present | Dalliance
8. R.E.M. | Sweetness Follows
9. Angus and Julia Stone | Heart Beats Slow

Only the first three got a top 3 vote in their own respective weeks from me. The others are rather average.

Madness | The Liberty of Norton Folgate: 8
The best since Memories Are Now, all the way at the beginning.

I figure I haven't actually shown the results of the Album Scores so far, so here they are! Two of the top three are the most recent albums, which I think is sort of interesting.

Also interesting is that the number of voters has slowly decreased (not by much though, and I myself have some catching up to do), but the two albums with the most votes, the first two (Jesca Hoop and Soul Asylum) are also the only tie.

1 | Terri Lyne Carrington & Social Science | Waiting Game | 7.18
2 | Madness | The Liberty of Norton Folgate | 6.83
3 | Slut | Lookbook | 6.75
4 | Tindersticks | The Something Rain | 6.72
5 | Polish Club | Iguana | 6.67
6 | Jesca Hoop | Memories Are Now | 6.64
6 | Soul Asylum | Grave Dancers Union | 6.64
8 | Alicia Keys | The Diary of Alicia Keys | 6.62
9 | David Bowie | Earthling | 6.53
10 | Pink Floyd | Pulse | 6.36
11 | Champs | Vamala | 6.28
12 | The Exciters | Tell Him | 6.03
13 | Thirteen Senses | The Invitation | 5.51
14 | Stephen Fretwell | Magpie | 5.47

I've posted the next round, but if anyone wants to get in any last minute votes, there is still an hour left for this round!
