CLOSED- Best New Millenial Album Tournament- NOMINATIONS

Anonymous · 2013-04-22T02:35:09-04:00

We haven't had a tournament going on in awhile, so I thought it would be a good idea to get one going. Thought this one would be both a great way to see BEA's taste for more recent fare as well as perhaps a way to discover some under-exposed recent gems, and doing it as a relatively fast knock-out tourney could make it easy to co-exist alongside another seperate contest, if anybody has any ideas. So here the nominating proccess will commence. Ill start with four each, and once that starts to die down people can nominate more until we get to the destination, which will be 64 or perhaps a giant 128 if enough interest is shown (and I find time to run a tourney that big). Only word of advice is be a bit creative with some of your selections; while there will surely be favorite albums that are expected to do well, try to find a special one among them that has been criminally overlooked, as often the great thing about these tournaments is discovering something entirely new. Ill probably have a rules thread but the biggest qualifications for a nomination is that it's listed as a 2000-onward release, and no re-issues, compilations or modern classical. EPs are fine if it's long enough to be eligible for the BEA database (20 minutes plus I believe), if it's not eligible to be added to the site than it's not valid as a nomination here. I almost considered making a 2000-2012 cutoff, as the 2013 releases have a bit of an unfair advantage as they are being intensely discussed right now, but that wouldn't really be fair so Ill let it be open to any album that has been released (no exceptions for albums that have been leaked but not yet released).
