This was easy. Their worst album against one of their best.

I'll vote Murray Street.

Jet Set, one of my favs, but Murray Street is too strong for this round

barry swedgin 08.02.2009 03:29 PM

Murray Street!! Amazing album.

dirty bunny 08.02.2009 03:49 PM

Murray Street for me. Trash and No Star I like too.

GeneticKiss 08.02.2009 08:15 PM

I picked EJSTNS, because it's easier for me to get into than Murray St.

Not to say that Murray St.'s not awesome in its own way too, but...

I picked Murray Street, it is just fantastic.

The only amazing song on EJSTNS is Bull In The Heather, the rest vary from good to bad.

Murray Street

Shifty Prophet 08.02.2009 11:16 PM

Murray Street

Death & the Maiden 08.03.2009 02:10 AM

Jet Set. It's my most listened to from their 90s albums.

Satan 08.03.2009 02:13 AM

i voted for jetset but i don't really like either album much at all

SONIC GAIL 08.03.2009 08:30 AM

What is going on here?
EJSTNS beats the hell out of Murray Street.
I've always thought of Murray Street as one of their weeker albums, though I do not discount it's contribution; and Experimantal Jet Set set the back ground for one of my most life changing mishaps. Jet Set got me through. Murray Street got me down. :eek:

Easily Murray Street. I'm definitely on the "EJSTNS blows" bandwagon.

One more day for anyone who hasn't already done so to vote.

I'll be posting the ties for round two sometime tomorrow evening.

GeneticKiss 08.08.2009 02:45 PM

This is a pretty unfair matchup, like you're pitting Independence Day against 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I already voted for EJSTNS. I like Murray Street, but it was kinda a cultural shock on the first listen, since the only SY I'd been experienced with at that time were Daydream Nation and Goo. It seemed so...bland, like a sterilized version of Daydream Nation. I told my guitar teacher at the time it sounded too much like Radiohead (disclaimer: at that time, I hadn't heard much Radiohead either, beyond some of Amnesiac). I've since learned to appreciate its relative subtlety and scope, but I just can't call it a favorite.

I think a more even matchup would be EJSTNS vs. Washing Machine-although EJSTNS would probably lose that too, but it might be closer than the 82-26 slaughter that's going on here.

demonrail666 08.08.2009 03:55 PM

I don't know if you're aware but i never actually chose which albums would go up against one another. I used a random number generator to do it for me, just as knock out contests are decided in sports.
