    I like it more than a few for sure but there's some strong contenders for #1 on this list and I hope people are fair to them!

    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… :emoji_relaxed:

    Taking an early look at scores tonight just to get an idea of what the finalists list may look like in a few days (and so I have a head start on getting the bracket out early on the 31st), not even done with the list and there is already a LOT of upsets of albums that won't make it to the finalists! d--- good year for music considering some of these albums that are not making the cut that I thought would

    Now I won’t feel as bad with leaving TDOSS off considering some of these albums that didn’t make the cut/might not make the cut. Some major releases not making it to the top 32!

    If anybody wants a preview, as of today these are the finalists and eliminated albums (yes they are in an excel spreadsheet, that was the easiest way to keep track)

    Scores could change over the next 4 days on AOTY, nothing is final! Crazy how many major albums did not make the top 32

    I knew my other album probably wouldn’t make it. It makes sense to me because I believe it is a good album but not a GREAT album. It has some major songs on there but as a whole album it definitely could’ve been better.

    Lol that’s at least 5-6 of my personal top 10 already eliminated. Can’t we just try to add a few more albums so we have 64? I know that will make the whole thing take longer but d--- that’s so many good albums missing the cut (and imo many garbage albums in the final 32 lmao)…

    After we get one more album, I can go ahead and whip up the bracket tonight so it gives even more time for people to lend their ears to the albums, voting still won’t start until January 8th
