Amazing week. The first three match-ups are heaven!
6. Pixies - Trompe le Monde vs. 3. The Black Keys - Brothers
1. Soulwax - As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2 vs. 2. Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact
Pretty much a tie. Painful choice.
5. The Knife - Deep Cuts vs. 4. Fred Pallem - Le sacre du tympan (Le retour)
Also pretty much a painful tie.

Re: Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 2018 - Round 2.7
Back from vacation with enough time to listen to everything. Winners in red:
1. Pixies - Trompe le Monde vs. The Black Keys - Brothers
Top-tier Black Keys beats mid-tier Pixies.
2. Soulwax - As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2 vs. Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact
Radio Soulwax is a hell of a lot of fun, but Eye Contact is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the decade. Those warbling vocals! Those pounding drums in the final track! The 11-minute crescendo of "Glass Jar"! It makes me sad I didn't end up liking Kazuashita very much.
3. The Knife - Deep Cuts vs. Fred Pallem - Le sacre du tympan (Le retour)
Fred Pallem works better for me on a track-by-track basis; a full album's worth of stuff is a bit much.
4. Songs: Ohia - Didn't it Rain vs. New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
This is a better album that the ones produced by most 90s one-hit wonders.
