Lmao there’s like 6 ties!!! Only 4 votes? We need more people

 

Jan 8, 2025

My votes are in!

 

Jan 8, 2025

Still have a bunch of albums to listen through but I’ll cast my votes later this week! I might be in the minority on a lot as my scores differ quite a bit lol. As an example I have both 2093 and Hardstone psycho on a whopping 0.5 which I guess is basically because I absolutely hate that kind of sound and autotune etc lmao… I did give them a fair chance though and listened through the whole albums (which I will do with the whole list) but no thank you, not for me!

 

Jan 8, 2025

My picks:

1. Imaginal Disk (9.0) vs. Popular Monster (0.5)
2. Days Before Rodeo (8.0) vs. 2093 (8.5)
3. BLUE LIPS (8.5) vs. Man Down (6.5)
4. LANA (8.5) vs. HARDSTONE PSYCHO (8.0)
5. CHROMAKOPIA (9.5) [My 2024 AOTY] vs. Not Now I'm Busy (5.0)
6. THE FORCE (7.5) vs. Believe Me Now? (6.0)
7. The Thief Next To Jesus (8.5) vs. C,XOXO (4.5)
8. The Great American Bar Scene (7.5) vs. Cellophane Memories (4.0)
9. GNX (9.0) vs. The Party Never Ends (7.0)
10. Muddy Waters Too (8.0) vs. Radical Optimism (7.5)
11. Samurai (8.0) vs. THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (7.0)
12. Clancy (2.5) vs. Better Me Than You (7.5)
13. You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (7.5) vs COSM (3.5)
14. The Crossroads (9.0) vs. american dream (7.5)

Very excited to get this started on Wednesday! I’ll drop the poll midnight central on Wednesday (1 AM EST) and it’ll close exactly one week after that when round 2 starts, so on so forth

 

Dec 31, 2024

Can we give Em a participation Trophy, or Some thing like that? Y’know

 

Dec 31, 2024

I can't believe @GCasper is gonna make me listen to a Falling In Reverse album, don't ever say I haven't done anything for you guys

 

Dec 28, 2024

Thank f--- I have the upcoming week off I need to blast through all these lmao

 

Dec 28, 2024

There’s a few obvious sweeps in this round

 

Dec 28, 2024

This round gonna be easy for me as I already have a lot of these votes pretty much locked in. I’ll probably do a few relistens though and also check out the few I haven’t heard

 

Dec 28, 2024

Great job with the brackets! But holy s--- I have a bunch of albums to listen through in the next couple of weeks lol

 

Dec 28, 2024

I liked it at first but it grew off of me pretty quickly especially with the deluxe drop. It already felt bloated to me before the deluxe drop then the extra songs were too much. The album just felt mediocre to me and like a weaker Midnights with more immature lyrics and less interesting song concepts. It’s not bad though I suppose, I just much prefer Midnights and Folklore

 

Dec 28, 2024

Just typed out all of the participants just for the bracket to not be formatted correctly on the website...BARE WITH ME YALL TRYING TO HAVE IT TO YALL BEFORE MIDNIGHT

 

Dec 28, 2024

Nah Vultures 2 by far the best album here. When I hear it it makes me wanna stab my ear drums but I realize that’s just because it was so good

 

Dec 28, 2024

s--- I accidentally cropped those out

First number is critic, second number is audience, third is the average of the 2 which determined the score the album got. I included all those numbers so y'all know I didn't bs with the seeding lol

 

Dec 27, 2024

A lot of these albums I’m finally getting to because of this bracket

I’m glad people wanted to participate in this, lots of great music I wouldn’t have tapped into otherwise or farther down the road!

 

Dec 24, 2024

For an easy to maintain bracket the number would need to be 32 or 64. Anything in between then you need to do a ”preliminary round” with just some of the albums while others get an automatic pass through to the next round… otherwise it won’t work out in the end.

For instance, starting with 42 in the first round would give you 21 through to the second round… 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 is the way to go like in sports…
