#368 The Best Album of 1989, Round 3 Match #109: De La Soul vs. Camper Van Beethoven

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: Black and white photos of three young Black men, arranged in a circle as if you are on the ground and they are looking down at you from above. The background is very bright yellow. There are hand drawn flower shapes in blue and orange arranged around them. Second pic: A extremely blurry photograph of three smiling people, presumably members of Camper Van Beethoven. They appear to be standing in front of some kind of statue, but the picture is so blurry and overexposed and manipulated that I'm not sure what it is or even if it's really there. The overall color of the photo is an extremely light brown-orange.
