This is a no-brainer for me: I like the Wolf Alice album a lot while I didn’t like Brockhampton at all

this isn't relevant to the discussion at all, but i could've sworn i listened to both of these, and i can't find my notes on either one and have no idea what they are, so i guess i didn't.
*edit: just listened to wolf alice, and this album is legit. i can't believe i hadn't listened to this, and i am certain it has something to do with confusion over the wolf alice sounding too much like wolf parade, which i'm generally not a fan of. this is a gorgeous record though, and it will be listened to more. brockhampton about to start....
**edit: and yeah that brockhampton thing really doesn't connect to me.

Pretty shocked that I'm the first vote for BROCKHAMPTON. I remember not liking Wolf Alice's last album at all, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I remember the first track sounding a lot like My Bloody Valentine and the rest was nice if not very memorable indie rock.
But BROCKHAMPTON are non-stop fun and should have taken over the pop landscape by now. III is my scond favorite of their trilogy but it has some of my favorite songs of theirs like HOTTIE and ALASKA.

First time listening to that Brockhampton album & I couldn't agree more. Non-stop party music. Still need to listen to Wold Alice but there's no ? that III is going in my chart.

Brockhampton is a nothing project. So vote to Wolf Alice.

I kind of agree with this. There were some strokes of genius in Brockhampton, but overall fell flat for me.
Wolf Alice for sure.

If you asked me this last year, I would have gone with Wolf Alice. But after listening to both albums again, Saturation III has really grown on me. Excellent production, interesting lyricism, and a well-executed blend of rapping and singing. Why is it losing so badly?

Well that Wolf Alice is really good. But I agree, they're both great.

Went with Brockhampton, but I burned Wolf Alice for my kids in the car. I think the "real" Tilly will love it.
