Liked 'em both, but this was an easy vote for Fiona.

I hope people don't neglect this match. After all, it's a battle for the podium.

Thought I commented on this already.
Yes, Apple was my #2 for 2020, I anticipate this to be a big win, and if so I would be happy to see this album on the podium.

i think i've voted for one record and against the other in every round throughout this tourney, so this is a no-brainer for me. perhaps one day this fiona thing will sound half-decent to my ears, but until then, i'm voting my aoty.

The Idler Wheel is one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2010s.
And it's even in BEA's top 500 of all time. It's our topped-ranked album by her.
I think it gets plenty of love. I remember when it came out and it was a pretty big deal.
The real sleeper is Extraordinary Machine.

Looks like this match has only one less vote than the championship match, so folks are still engaged which is good to see.

I was talking about when it was released. I don't think it's ranking was any kind of comparison for the year. I don't have year data, but overall you can see it was 479 in just 2019, and then this record gets release and all of sudden people are interested, bringing it down to 323. Also I'm sure it was in the top 100 when it came out in 2012, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't even in the top 30.
Confirmation bias or sites like this have this thing where people rate what they see, and then it kind of inflates numbers.
BUT you are right. I was juxtaposing how Idler wasn't at anytime album of the year, whereas you are juxtaposing one of her lesser known works.
