XTRMNTR vs. Demon Days

Well, I already wrote a nice showdown between Demon Days and a different album, but that turned out not to be the match I was actually assigned. Whoops!

Then I kept forgetting to do the proper review. But Eric Arnoys is coming to my town, literally, and I'm sure he'll have a big can o' whoop-ass with him, 'cause that's just how he rolls, and so I figured I should at least have this out of the way before he gets here.

You may refer to my other review for impressions of Demon Days. Primal Scream's XTRMNTR is actually a better comparison to it than Kanye -- it's more of an apples to apples thing, with both albums ranging far and wide stylistically, such that you're never quite sure what the next track is going to have in store. That also makes them harder to compare. I enjoyed them both but Demon Days takes the edge because, well, it's funkier. And I like me the funk.

Winner: Demon Days
