album battles 15-20

ok so its the last time im doing battles like this im just gonna show you the results because i dont have the time or ethic to type for 3 hrs straight.
the rules are posted here: Blah


Yuck vs. Dye it Blonde
ok so i heard em both a couple of times and i was amazed at how they sound, very 90ish and very cool indeed. Some said that Yuck sounds like Smashing Pumpkins and i say no to that. Smith Westerns had a beachier feel and a lot funner dance ready album so i felt that the Smith Westerns earned 4 pts and Yuck a mere 1 pt. Notable songs: Shook Down by yuck and Dance Away by Smith Westerns. 


Departing vs. Moment Bends
When i heard both albums i wasn't too pleased by either of them. I was listening and the albums aren't very mind blowing quite frankly they sucked compared to their other releases so I just wrote up a score that seemed about right with the quality of both albums
The rural Alberta advantage: 3
Architecture in Helsinki: 2


Metals vs. Ceremonials
ok for these two albums  i was pleased and this was a tough match. 
these albums both had great songs and I'm leaning to Feist because i think Feist had a better edge in the sound. Feist: 3 pts Florence + the Machine: 2 pts. Notable Songs: 
How come you never go there by Feist and Shake it out by Flo
look up the remix by benny benassi too.

Nine types of light vs.  Circuital
These albums were both due for a review and sadly i didn't have time so they ended up here.
its cool because they are both great albums especially nine types of light because it had the really banging bass and that's exactly why they scored better. TV: 3 MMJ: 2
Notable songs: Will Do by TV on the radio and  Circuital by My morning jacket.

Palace vs. In the grace of your love
Man i chose really hard albums to battle with huh?
well for the sake of time I'm just gonna tell you i liked The Rapture better i don't exactly like the new approach they took but if they keep up this they will sound a lot like another indie band i like im hearing Cold War Kids? Chap: 2 Rap: 3
Notable songs: Five Trees by Chapel Club and How deep is your love by the rapture

If not now when vs. I'm with you
the last battle and these two "old" bands duke it out and to tell you the truth incubus kind of dissapointed me and they have ever since light grenades so its no surprise RHCP won this round.
Incubus: 2 RHCP: 3
Notable songs:
Adolecents by incubus and  The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie

ok this was fun huh? not really the album battles were more to handle than the actual 10-20 song album reviews and the scores are very hard to determine. so next year around this time im only doing 10 album battles not 20. oh and if you want to know who won the overall album battle it was Mines is yours by Cold War Kids.
