Kinda shocking to see how little people are about these two records. I'd been meaning to check out Jeopardy for a while. When I did, I liked it quite a bit.

However, I've known Blues Explosion for a long time. Acme isn't my favorite of their record. That'd go to Orange or Extra Width, but I'll still be voting for it here.

Too funny! I agree completely & this was one of the harder votes thus far. If this was Extra Width (my favorite JSBX album) or even Orange this would be no contest! But, Acme's probably my least favorite, and in the short time I've known it, I've been really impressed by Jeopardy and thinking it was the holy grail for a lot of the post-punk revival bands in the early 2000s. I'm lazy so here's what I've already said about it in in my chart...

Extremely well done Joy Division inspired yet more danceable post-punk that likely served as the template for the Killers' Hot fuzz & Franz Ferdinand s/t albums.

I really liked Jeopardy, and really couldn't find any enjoyment in Acme, so an easy match-up.

Struggling to care. Jon Spencer is fun though, so vote to Acme.
