Do you think it's safe to start this one soon? Now that the BEU is over?

I think the reasoning is that starting two albums tournaments at once will create too large a listening load for people who haven't already prepared. Or maybe not, but that's a reason I wouldn't mind if it was delayed till at least round 2 of the +1500. Looking forward to it regardless.

Are we ready to do this? I'm thinking we'll start in two weeks (July 27 or 28 ) and then have a set of four matchups every Monday and Thursday.

Also, I'd like to try the game mechanic (I think I mentioned it before) where you can vote for "Disliked both" or "Liked Both", and then when "Disliked Both" has the majority it can be replaced by the second one to get the highest "Liked Both" votes.

You can see the matchups at https://challonge.com/bea1974.

Can we get this stickied?

Nice work, Listmeister.

Oddly specific. Sounds like fun, though. How long are the matches up?

Predicting this for the top 4

Lamb vs. Peace & Love (hopefully... but it'll probably be Rock Bottom)
&
On The Beach vs. Fear


...
Not sure about the winner though. Or even the round after that to be honest.
