Episode 26 begins our new tournament to determine the greatest rock album of all time. This tournament covers albums from 2000-2019 and this episode focuses on the First Four play-in "games." The matchups for this episode are:

\\n

TV On The Radio "Return To Cookie Mountain" (32) vs. Tame Impala "Currents" (33)  

\\n

The New Pornographers "Twin Cinema" (31) vs. The War On Drugs "Lost In The Dream" (34)  

\\n

MGMT "Oracular Spectacular" (29) vs. Coldplay "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" (36)  

\\n

My Morning Jacket "Z" (30) vs. Titus Andronicus "The Monitor" (35)  

\\n

Notes for this episode: "Twin Cinema" was released in 2005, not 2006. Also, it was incorrect to call Destroyer a solo project, it is a band albeit one with a rotating cast of musicians, with Dan Bejar always leading the way up front and center.
