2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 4, Part 1
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 4, Part 1
Hello! Welcome to Round 4 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 fourth round is going to involve voting for your least favorite from a group of songs. You will vote for the three songs you liked the least using the in-forum poll function. The three with the least votes move on to next round. Here are your songs:
Emmy The Great | Dinosaur Sex
France Gall | Ella, elle' l'a
Johnny Cash | Ain't No Grave
Low | Nothing But Heart
Puya | Fundamental
Stephanie Poetri | I Love You 3000
Swamp Dogg | Dust Your Head Color Red
The Decemberists | This Is Why We Fight
The Magnetic Fields | Two Characters in Search of a Country Song
Additionally, I have already added the full 27 Song Round 4 playlist in the summary thread.
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:
Babes in Toyland | To Mother [EP] (1991)
Alright, in conclusion:
Select your three LEAST favorite songs from the least above. You have seven days from the time of this post (April 17th)! Have fun!
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!

I feel it might have been good here to underline that you vote for your least favorite songs, as that is something that could easily be overlooked.
