Rock Bottom comes out on top. On the Beach buried in the sand.

Rock Bottom 15
On the Beach 11

Rock Bottom really proves that this tournament was a success.

Looking forward to another year based tournament, and the hip hop tournament should be great.

On the Beach. It is a more straightforward-rocking listen, for me. Walk On rocks on with an attitude. I can listen to it virtually endlessly and in the process be transformed. Vampire Blues... yes, there are incalculable days after incalculable sleepless nights that I felt just like that, a black bat... And, On The Beach... what a song... "I follow the road, though I don't know where it ends..."

Yes, On the Beach. It has been a good friend indeed. �'�

Can't say it better.

On the Beach is, note for note, the better album.

Rock Bottom, for me. Pretty comfortably too. I love On the Beach, but nowhere near as much as I love Rock Bottom. Both albums probably sit in my favourite six or seven hundred albums, but On the Beach would be nearer the bottom of that list, and Rock Bottom nearer the top, even if I'd hate to have to live without either. Great final though, even if it was pretty predictable.
