Tough match up, slight nod to Janelle (listening to it now coincidentally)

3. Anna Meredith - FIBS vs. Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith And Devotion
4. The Beths - Future Me Hates Me vs. Rodriguez - Cold Fact
didn't know either of these...listened to both on the fly...both good records, liked Rodiguez a bit more

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 11 - Round 4.2
8. Fugazi - Repeater (1990) vs. 1. Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid (2010)
A case of respect-more-than-I-enjoy album (and band) against the more than probable winner of the game. And deservedly so.
2. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife (2006) vs. 3. Blondie - Eat to the Beat (1979)
Blondie's worthy follow-up to "Parallel Lines" loses by a hair against a literate and nerdy but also a highly emotional album.
6. Anna Meredith - FIBS (2019) vs. 7. Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993)
Depeche Mode's worthy follow-up to "Violator" loses by a hair against an album that opens a new path to modern classical.
4. The Beths - Future Me Hates Me (2018) vs. 5. Rodriguez - Cold Fact (1970)
After the surprise effect maybe "Cold Fact" was not that special. The Beths deliver instead a refreshing update of indie-rock.
To my own surprise, I've chosen on every match-up the most recent album. I usually do the opposite.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 11 - Round 4.2
And with the expected defeat of Future Me Hates Me there goes my last nomination. She held on strong against such a tough competitor though. I felt confident about a lot of my nominations this year and all lost in the first round, but The Beths became my unexpected champ. Glad many people seemed to like it.
