While I thought The Balladeer was quite good, I gotta hand this one to Shore. Fleet Foxes have declined in quality since their first release, but Shore is still pretty strong.

I vote for Fleet Foxes. For their exceptional qualities of ass wipers.

Lori McKenna is the second time in this tourney I vote despite my prejudices. So now I've voted for a dance album and a country album. I'm pretty sure people in Hell are getting big glasses of ice water right now.

Both of them show us that a few catchy melodies can get you far, but The Balladeer was the more exciting of the two.
The Balladeer gets my vote.

Didn't really care for The Balladeer much on the first two listens, while Shore keeps getting better every time. Looks like an easy choice, but I might give Lori McKenna another chance even if it's not really my style.

I'm not. Fleet Foxes is a common favorite and they are an accessible band as indicated by Pitchfork and /mu/ influence (at least in the online sphere for the latter).
