On paper one of the marquee matchups of the sweet sixteen, but we'll see if it ends up being close. Ware or bust.

Ware seems to be the clear favorite here. I also voted for Ware but just barely. When I laid out my 2020 chart in January 2021, they were actually ranked back-to-back. Songs cleared round 1 overwhelmingly (more so than I think any other matchup), so it'll be interesting to see what happens here.

By a narrow margin, I didn't vote for Lenker in the last round. In this round that changes as I give her the slight edge.

Oh no.
Just remember, Ingydar doesn't slap at the club.

One of the closest matchups for me, despite being so different, I like them almost equally - far from being a big fan though, let's say I mildly like them. What ended up making the difference for me is that What's Your Pleasure? was a refreshing release for 2020. On the other hand, it's much easier to find a decent singer/songwriter album - even though one could argue that Songs belongs near the top tier of the genre's modern representatives.
So, What's Your Pleasure? gets my vote.

I'm not as high on this matchup as some people, but it's still two very good albums. Like I mentioned previously, songs gets better with every listen (especially on summer nights), but I'd have to play it 10 more times for it to reach Ware's level, which I don't have time for 😁
What's Your Pleasure indeed bangs in da club and gets my vote.

What's Your Pleasure? ties Songs 9-9. The first tiebreaker (rating) ties 79-79. What's Your Pleasure? defeats Songs in the second tiebreaker (trimmed mean) 79.6-79.1 to advance to the elite eight.
