England Keep My Bones by Frank Turner

Nominated by camsh

Only vote if you have listened to both albums. Thank you.

[RepoMan]

I don't give a toss for either of these. The only time in the entire tourney that I've felt that way. I honestly feel that these may be the weakest two albums in the entire tourney. It's also reinforced just how great the pool of albums have been in this tourney, at least for me. It's a shame that The Field Mice, Kacey Musgraves, Death, Chicago, Out of Focus, etc. have been knocked out when they likely would have won a matchup against either of these albums. Mostly because it means that I may actually feel compelled to listen to one of these albums again. But likely not. LOL

Yeah, pretty much what RM said: didn't really care for either one. Voted for Echolalia...

Yeah, really didn't care for either of these whatsoever, but very little in popular music irritates me quite as much as Frank Turner's 'working class hero' schtick. He just does my fucking nut in. Vote to Echolalia, though it's very much a case of the lesser of two evils.

Hin-Fort and Shadow Kingdom against each other while one of these lives on. That's disappointing. Echolalia, I guess.

Didn't like Echolalia very much at all, but voted for it on principal over England Keep My Bones, which is among my least favorite albums I've ever heard.

[Listmeister]

Wow, I must be the Bizarro BEA. I really enjoyed both of them, and thought they were among the best albums of the tournament. It seems that albums you guys gush about, I hate, and when I like something, you feel the opposite.

England Keep My Bones was awesome. What's not to like? You have a guy with solid rock and roll chops performing like a modern day bard. Vote to Sir Frank.

[Happymeal]

I like Frank Turner quite a bit, his singing feels like those folk punk bands that you see springing about in the early to mid 2000's (Andrew Jackson Jihad, Against me, etc.), but the musical compositions, instrumentation, etc. don't follow suite all that much on this album. I haven't listened to the other one yet.
