How is everyone doing with the play-in round? Anyone need an extension? If not, votes will close at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday and I'll put round one up.

If anyone has finished all the play-in albums and wants to get a listening head start on round one, the matchups are in the spreadsheet (link in OP).

Sounds good with me.

Play-ins are done and round one is up. There will be at least four weeks, but extensions readily available if needed.

What were the biggest snubs of the tournament? I was surprised and disappointed that no one nominated this:


Aviary by Julia Holter

It had such a strong presence in the songs competition, so it feels ironic that it's not here, because I think it works better as an album. Seems people who might have nominated it wanted to highlight something less popular.

Going by BEA rank this would be the biggest snub:


7 by Beach House

Seeing them Sunday ๐Ÿ˜

Additionally, the lack of both Daytona and Some Rap Songs feels like a big gap for hip-hop.

I'd throw the biggest snubs to Kamasi Washington with Heaven And Earth as well as You Won't Get What You Want by Daughters.

To each their own, but the original idea was for everyone to nominate their favorite album. I definitely would have made different choices if it were a deep cuts tournament.

@Tilly Not long ago Aviary was your #1 overall, and now it's not on your 2018 chart. What soured you on it, if anything?

Oh. That was just a mistake! I actually prefer both Have You In My Wilderness and Loud City Song to Aviary. Aviary would probably be in my top twenty/thirty for 2018 though. It sounded good but not great live at Pitchfork which was a little disappointing.
