Went back to both albums before voting. I like the Ariel Pink album, but I love the Perfume Genius album. Great songwriting and production throughout. While Ariel Pink generated a great hazy, psychedelic atmosphere, his lyrics were very uneven, and some were downright bad.

I have a bit of a problem with both these albums; The Ariel Pink sometimes has beautiful songs but I always have the impression that they’re meant to be a parody of those songs (or of the style of music it is meant to copy).
And Perfume Genius is just completely the opposite because it sounds so serieus and delf-indulgent.

But finally i have chosen for Ariel Pink.

And btw this was the last duo of albums in round one for me

Tear... was hoping for No Shape by Perfume Genius. Probably the most vibrant/ full of life album of 2017.

It has three weeks to make up a two-vote deficit. Don't lose hope yet!
