This round, I'm giving each album its rank among the artist's discography that I've heard e.g. Keith Jarrett has supposedly released 59 albums but I've only listened to 3, of which The Köln Concert is my least favourite, so I'm ranking it 3rd out of 3 (3/3):

7. Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert (3/3) v. 2. Marianne Faithfull - Broken English (1/4)
6. The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement (1/2) v. 8. Buddy Holly - Buddy Holly (1/2)
4. Edan - Beauty and the Beat (1/2) v. 5. Nadine Shah - Holiday Destination (1/2)
1. Noir désir - 666.667 Club (1/5) v. 3. The Upsetters - Super Ape (2/3)

I tied myself in knots over my pick for the third matchup :?
All I got inside is vacancy!
