Chance is my favourite discovery of the tournament so far.
High Risk Behaviour stood no chance (sorry for the awful pun), why do they have to remind us Ramones were a thing? Ok, if you are into punk, you are going to love this.
Chance gets my vote. _________________ Bob Dylan Charles Mingus

Chance was good, but I'm not going to be voting against my own pick, an album that I essentially played every day during lockdown whilst stuck away from family in a different country.
High Risk Behaviour kept me sane last year whilst simultaneously making me a little bit insane. _________________

Ditto this feeling, lovely album. I really enjoyed Chance so this was really close. Ultimately voted for The Chats. _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
went texier. chats have their appeal though, and i'm glad for the listen. likely coming back to both of these. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Chats, it's a punk standout from 2020 while there were better jazz albums imo. Had a lot of fun listening to it on my long walks in the lockdown too. _________________ Overall chart Fake overall chart
My opinion of Chance is unchanged with a second listen. A very good album with some great songs and strong performances from Texier and company, yielding a high 3.5/5. High Risk Behaviour is a completely different animal, and a very fun and interesting record. Instrumentally, it bangs. Just pure uncut punk energy. Lyrically, I have a love/hate relationship with the chosen subject matter, The Chats' takes on it, and the subtexts. Despite some misgivings, it is quite a fine album, and barely misses my chart and my vote with a low 3.5/5. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
