2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 5, Part 1
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 5, Part 1
Hello! Welcome to Round 5 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:
Each part of Round 5 will give you nine songs. You will rate each of those nine songs out of ten, (ten being the best and one being the worst) and then those ratings will be averaged. Here are your songs:
Babatunde Olatunji | Shango (Chan-go)
Cage the Elephant | Come a Little Closer
D'Angelo | Unshaken
Linkin Park | Breaking the Habit
Mulu | Pussycat
Nina Hagen | Antiworld
Nirvana | Even In His Youth
Patrick Street | Music for a Found Harmonium
The Distillers | The Hunger
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:
Macintosh Plus | Floral Shoppe (2011)
Another album unavailable on Spotify in the United States. Here is the Youtube Link.
Alright, in conclusion:
Rate each of the above nine songs out of ten!This will be due one week from the time of this post! (May 15th)! 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!

La Lá | Zamba puta - 5
Macintosh Plus | Floral Shoppe - 5
The first never stood out enough from the background to warrent more than a 5, whereas the second mixes good and bad moments in such equal measure as to end up at 5 as an average.
Floral Shoppe could improve on a revist, however, since I did enjoy a bunch of it. リサフランク420, the song that got meme'd, is an obvious stand out.

Very good selection!

I had never heard of this before, which goes to show you how much into memes I am, as this is apparently one of the big meme machines of music history. Luckily, for me this hasn't been "ruined" by too many jokes, so I just hear a very creative and frequently transporting album, with an odd feel of nostalgia. The sixth track in particularly is of tranquil beauty. Great discovery that I might turn to more in the future.

I feel bad for rating it so low but truth is, I probably would've scored it less if I'd heard it independently of this game.
My highlights: None, 地理 switches things up a little though.
