2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 5, Part 2
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 5, Part 2
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:
Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin | Once There Was a Hushpuppy
Dirty Projectors | Useful Chambers
Get Well Soon | If This Hat Is Missing I've Gone Hunting
Kaiser Chiefs | Born to Be a Dancer
Neutral Milk Hotel | Communist Daughter (Not Stallinist-Leninst)
Shakira | La despedida
Swans | Saved
The Kinks | Strangers
Van Morrison | Summertime in England
Playlist
Shakira, Studio Version
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:
Turnover | Peripheral Vision (2015)
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 22nd)! 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!

I've added another version of the Shakira song, per request.
