Other way around for me haha.

I mentioned this last round, but unfortunately IWC just did not click for me. Meanwhile, the Sault album I think was actually the less impressive of their 2 albums from last year, but "Wildfires" is easily my song of the year, and the rest of the album around it is still quite good.

Sault have created a more varied and interesting record with higher highs, and overall a great listen despite some flaws. Wins my vote fairly easily here.

Probably the only matchup where I really like both nominees, tough choice. That being said, I feel that Untitled (Black Is) is a more important album and I have to give it the nod.
