I don't know if other people share the same sentiment but I think there is a lack of participation because we have 96!! rather obscure albums nominated; some are even a few hours long. Such a huge number of nominations might work for other tournaments like the best debut album one, where people have already listened to most albums, but here I feel it's too much to ask.
I was really motivated to get through the whole list right after it was announced and I only managed to listen to more or less half of it. Not to mention that sometimes a single listen is not enough to form an opinion on a particular album.
I would love if we could hold this tournament every year for example, because ultimately, it's an excellent way to discover some unknown gems, but there really should have been some limitations. (like only 1 album per user maybe?)

Yah I'm making it slower for now, 4 rounds per week. As soon as we finish the first round it'll go faster cuz we'll all have listened to most albums. Pretty good finds so far, thanks to everyone for participating!

Getting the albums has been difficult.

I know Defago said listen to before but I know I have waited til the matchup is posted before I listen. This makes it hard and some users did not post links.

Still loving it though!

I love this tournament, I'm just behind on my listening. I'm lazy. I'll try to catch up and start voting again though.

Defago started this thread to aid discussions about the albums we've discovered, it needs a bit more love however.

I've been having extreme problems getting my hands on the albums in the tourney, even the ones with links, due to internet issues. 🙁
Hopefully it'll be sorted soon so I can get more involved.

ah. i must've missed that. hopefully more people participate

it's a bit disappointing how little discussion there has been about the albums after everyone was so into this tournament idea. I think the majority of the album picks have been great.

Imma start tagging done threads as CLOSED to make things more orderly. Imma create a thread in the Music forum as well for promotion/awareness and talk about discoveries.

Matches start next Monday. I'll do two a day and leave them on for a couple of days each. I'll post a short opinion on the albums I've already heard (about half) sometime this week. I'll also post a list of the matches in order in a bit.

Also, if someone who hasn't done so wants to give two nominations to replace Magikarp's that'd be cool, else I'll just leave them there.

EDIT: Actually the matches will follow the brackets posted from top to bottom.

EDIT2: Also, I did my best to fill the link list, but some I couldn't find. Please make sure you add your nominations to make sure people can listen to them without having to spend hours looking for weird russian music blogs with expired download links.

Would I by any chance be able to change one of my noms? I know it's late. Just wondering.

If i can could I switch out Steve Tibbets - Yr with The Hunches - Hobo Sunrise?

I have a link ready.

The matches should be starting in a week or two, tops. I've already got someone to replace joj's two nominations, but he still hasn't sent his picks, so I'm gonna wait on that. Remember to post your links/descriptions to make everyone's life easier and to get your listening done in advance so the matches can start/end quickly.
