This should really be choosing between two albums generated from the same (artist name, title, cover art), rather than completely different configurations.

I'm finding it difficult to judge fairly when the art, title and album name are different.

That was how we originally built it, but we found it less fun to rate in testing compared to this version. Hopefully the increased votes-per-person outweigh the loss of fidelity.

The biggest problem is font colours that are unreadable on the background. Obviously that must be an algorithm-too-far for most of the competitors.

There's bias introduced based on the visual appearance, some of the fonts used are terrible - and (as mentioned) the contrast.

I think you guys should've just shown one picture at a time and allowed people to upvote or downvote it.
