Alvvays in my personal chart for the yea and SZA is not so a clear preference for the first

Toughest match-up of this round for me. I ranked SZA higher at the end of 2017 but I've listened to Alvvays more since. I'm leaning Alvvays but I'll try to squeeze in a listen to each this week.

agreed about this being a tough match. they're so different from each other, and they're both pretty solid. alvvays generally fits my niche better, but i voted sza as i think it's the superior album. was a tough call though.

Although I wasn't too keen on the Alvvays album as a whole I did enjoy the second half and prefer it over Sza.
