2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 1, Part 6
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 1, Part 6
Hello! Welcome to Round 1 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:
The first round is going to be a standard single-elimination tournament. We are now down to our top two for Round 1, so just pick your favorite of our two finalists! The winner here wins Round 1! Here they are:
Group 1
Death | Politicians In My Eyes
The Jam | Man in the Corner Shop
Playlist
Next up, the albums! Here is a list of every album: List
However, to make the albums more digestible, I will be 'featuring' one album a week for those who wish to follow along this way. This week's album is:
Champs | Vamala (2015)
Alright, in conclusion:
Chose your favorite song from each matchup! You have exactly seven days (February 13th) from the time of this post!
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!

Pretty nice sounding album, if not terribly original.

Best (imho) "new" song: Tennis - Dreaming, but the no. 1 works as well. Also thought "Heart Cooks Brain" was fun for a while.
