I would not have expected the third match-up to go this way before re-listening. This week is very good (aside from the bottom 2 albums in my ranking).

4 | The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow (-) vs. 1 | Faust - Faust (=)
7 | Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Navigator (-) vs. 2 | Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit (=)
6 | Deafheaven - Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (-) vs. 5 | tricot - T H E (+)
3 | Bubu - Anabelas (-) vs. 8 | Wax Tailor - By Any Beats Necessary (-)

I could do with re-hearing Bubu's El eco del Sol and at least 3 Faust albums I checked out while digging through the discographies of the below:

2. Faust - Faust (5th favourite album of 7 I've heard by the artist) v. 8. The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow (3/3)
1. Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Navigator (1/4) v. 3. Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70 - Expensive Shit (3/4)
4. tricot - T H E (2/3) v. 5. Deafheaven - Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (1/3)
6. Bubu - Anabelas (2/2) v. 7. Wax Tailor - Any Beats Necessary (2/2)
All I got inside is vacancy!
