Def not put off by that whiplash at all, just never thought I would see those two on the same team, but gladly proven wrong. Should listen to both back to back and see how that all feels 🤔

No shame in that at all, def wouldn't want to be facing JoD to open up this tournament, the difficulty of that matchup is as inevitable as Mcdonald's underwear-goes-inside-the-pants policy

You'll soon be able to bask in the glory that is 1978. I'll welcome you to vote against yourself if we shall ever meet.

I'm on the fence about this matchup. A couple things I need to check out. Some stuff I love on both teams, some stuff I don't care that much about on some. we'll see

94 with absolutely no hesitation. The albums team def hits every loud, diverse note possible, and JoD is def winner of the most bizzare mood whiplash so far with these tournament teams by placing Gravediggaz right next to Stina Nordenstam :lol:- really just all excellent selections across the board. Even if I can't stand to hear Black Hole Sun for the 1000th time, that hardly diminishes a very strong singles team.

2004 on the other hand does very little to absolutely nothing. I like the Ghostface album but it's far from brilliant or Ghost at his best, and the singles team does have the benefit of much nostalgia value with that Lazyboy single (RIP Greg Giraldo) and that Architecture in Helsinki track is fun if nothing revelatory. Really nothing at all here to make me reconsider my vote, though.

'94 easy.

Let's see. Crooked Rain & SAW II (my favorite Aphex album) seal the deal alone. Just special albums that are a level above anything on Team 2004 for me. That Stina album is pretty special too. I dig !!! especially that Giulani single, but it's definitely not one of the best albums from 2004 whereas '94 is solid throughout.

'94 without a second thought. The 2004 is good, but I'm not too big on the Regina Spektor and !!! albums, and that '94 team is just ballin.

Huh, tough one. Both teams have things I love and things I'm really ambivalent about. Leaning 94 right now because I think the album team is more consistent overall.
