Album Fight - The Police vs Fall Out Boy - The Police's Ghost in the Machine takes on Fall Out Boy's Save Rock and Roll. Album Fights pit two albums against one another. Usually, the albums have a like number of tracks. The albums face off in a boxing, round-based format.
The first tracks face one another, and our panel of judges decides which song prevails. The rounds are scored on a 10pt must system-meaning the winner MUST be awarded 10 points. The loser gets 10-7 points depending on how the judges assess the round.  We don't like tied rounds. An 8 is considered a knockdown, while a 7 is considered a fight defining double knockdown.  

We LOVE this music and celebrate the wonderful creations of these bands. We hope you enjoy this Album Fight.
