Crushing is an improvement on Julia Jacklin's fantastic debut. It's one of my favourite indie records of the year and decade and it gets my vote. Tried listening to Age of Immunology at least 3 times last year, but wasn't thrilled by it at all. It's quite pleasant sounding, but that's about it unfortunately. Maybe I ought to give it another shot.

I really like Julia Jacklin, been listening to her for a while, but it's more vocally and lyrically that I like this album for, rather than musically. Whereas this is the first I've heard of Vanishing Twin, but it's right up my alley musically. I'm tempted to vote for Vanishing Twin on first impression but I am going to wait a while and see if I get time to listen to both again to be sure.

Oh maaannnn this is a tough one. Both of these albums are excellent, but I think I have to slightly lean Vanishing Twin. Really tough matchup though

I like crushing quite a bit. Wasn't really feeling the Vanishing Twins, but I guess you can't like everything.

Vanishing Twin didn't really leave an impression while Julia Jacklin is in my 2019 year chart.

I'm thinking now that 90% of why I play this game is because of craola's votes. Last year's was fantastic and this is indeed also such.

Just spun The Age of Immunology again, and gotta say it grew on me tremendously. I still have the same problems with it (it sounds uniform, synthetic at times and the highlights are not as good as just the overall mood and sound), but the production is really something. Perfect for summer nights, and I’m so glad I gave it another chance. I’m not gonna change my vote though, Crushing sound just as fresh and intriguing as when I first heard it.
