Round of 16: (7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures vs. (10) The Beatles - Rubber Soul Bracket

Round three is here. 16 winners of the previous round. What album will come out on top?

NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD BOTH ALBUMS. STOP DOING THIS SHIT.

For this matchup, we start with:

(7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures

vs.

(10) The Beatles - Rubber Soul

 

legitimately a tough one for me to decide here. i ended up getting swayed by the one that has "In My Life."

 

Futures isn't high on my Jimmy ranking but there's at least four songs on there I like more than any Beatles song so it's that for me.

 

Beatles for me

 

Love Rubber Soul, but Futures simply means way more to me.

 

Rubber

 

Rubber Soul no contest

 

The friggin Beatles i guess..

 

Rub her soul

 

I'll have to hide it from some of my friends, but I absolutely did stick with Futures.

 

futures no contest.

 

I love Futures but Rubber Soul.

 

Rubber Soul. Futures doesn’t hold as much weight for me as it used to

 

Rubber Soul

My hot take on Futures is that outside of 23, Kill, and Work, the album is just decent. Those three songs elevate it to “very good” status, but I’d rank it below Clarity all day.

 

Thought about it for a minute, but "Norwegian Wood" and "In My Life" are too hard to beat.

Futures is my favorite Jimmy album and I'd vote for it based on the title track riff alone

 

Rubber Soul is the best Beatles album and therefore one of the best albums of all time. Voted Futures though, fuck it we ball.

 

23 and Kill are only on one of these records.

 

i used to love kill but it wouldn’t be in my top three off futures anymore

 

It's my favourite on the record for sure. Polaris is a close second.

 

Demo kill is way better but can’t put my finger on why

 

They really need to release a proper version of “Jen”. Still have the low quality rip of it from the leak of Futures.

 

Honestly don't love either but Futures has Pain which was my favourite song for a like 2 months in high school

 

Futures delivering the PAIN to the Beatles in this matchup.
