B contained some delicious violin (I love a bit of fiddle) and some pleasant vocals and harmonies.

Trouble is I got bored after about 2 minutes.

Man....? oooof! I never bore of those dudes.

A great track from one of their finest LPs

Don't think much of either. I appreciate the musicianship of A and the basic sound and spirit of B, but neither song is up to much, and neither features a voice I would listen to for pleasure. But A is an odd choice considering how much (earlier, I'm guessing) Man stuff I've heard that has more sense of purprose.

Anticipated an easy win for Man, but Love de Vice ran them close.

B was nice but a little underwhelming .A had a few more weapons in its arsenal.

A starts off a bit yacht rock-esque, but it slowly heads to a more interesting quasi-Canterbury sound/mood. B is rubbish, as a chamber pop piece it wishes it had the nuance, creativity or ear for texture that the likes of a Julia Holter has, and it's paired with a voice and delivery so generic it'd make Sia blush.
