2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 6, Part 2 (Current)

Post by Holden »

Hello! Welcome to Round 6 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 6 will give you nine songs, divided into three random groups. YOu will select your two favorite songs from each group (eliminating one), and post your choices in the thread. The best song from each group will move on to the second round of Round 6. Here are your songs, in their groups.

Group 1
Interpol | The New
Roland Dyens | La Foule
The Fratellis | Laughing Gas

Group 2
Car Seat Headrest | Sober to Death
God Help the Girl | God Help the Girl
Penny and the Quarters | You and Me

Group 3
Boards of Canada | Sixtyten
The Orielles | Sugar Taste Like Salt
Yoasobi | Yoru ni Kakeru (夜に駆ける)

Playlist


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:

Кино [Kino] | Группа крови (Blood Type) (1988)



Alright, in conclusion:
Chose your two favorite songs from each of the above groups!This will be due one week from the time of this post! (June 5th)! 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![/b]

A pleasant surprise, having no memory of how I liked previous Kino appearances on the forum.

You mean "Sugar Tastes Like Salt" advances because of the tiebreaker vote. Just to be sure there isn't a mistake. ;)
