Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 2.2

Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback
The Knife - Deep Cuts

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 2.2

Vote: Cassandra Wilson

This one grew on me a lot on this listen.

I'm really pulling for Deep Cuts even though I only think it's slightly better than Summerteeth, just because it'd be nice to see the favorite out.

Four hours left to vote, with one tie and one match separated by one vote.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 2.2

Division 4:
Laika - Sounds of the Satellites

I think Laika is a band that makes very ear-pleasing music. But instead of selling a lot of records they are loved by hipster critics like Fast 'n' Bulbous and Piero Scaruffi. That surprises me, because I don't think their music stands out a lot. But it is surely good enough to beat The Fall, one of the most well-regarded bands that I have never gotten into. At all.
