#487 The Best Album of 2001, Round 1 Match #51: Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. Lightning Bolt
Hey folks!
Before we get to today’s match, a quick PSA: last newsletter, I announced that the Best Album of 2001 Zoom Karaoke Event is one June 5th. This is incorrect. The Best Album of 2001 Zoom Karaoke Event will be on June 14th, not June 5th as previously announced. @lanna.bsky.social and @nanette.bsky.social are hard at work to determine the best start time so that our European or otherwise non-North American Best Album Bracketeers can participate. So set you calendars, and watch this space for the time and other details.
And now, the match!
Today’s Best Album of 2001 match is:
#30 Yeah Yeah Yeahs, YEAH YEAH YEAHS ep
vs.
#99 Lightning Bolt, RIDE THE SKIES

14 minute long EPs should be disqualified for “album of the year.” So, on principle, I’m voting for the option I’ve never heard of because it’s a full album. Curse you for making me choose garbage over the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
