My own opinions are:
1. Stick with randomized matchups for more intrigue.
2. Anything that's BEA eligible and consists mostly of material released for the first time in 2018 should be permitted. |
Agree with this. |
same.
re :2 ultimately the winners are going to be albums that don't stray away from "this should definitely be allowed" anyway so practically adding limitations seems like an unnecessary step.
looking forward! also, how many noms were you thinking of accepting overall/per person to begin with? ofc depends on interest to a big degree _________________ My top songs of the 2010s

Last year we had a ton of nominations and had to have play-in rounds with one per person. So it will be one per person again. _________________ Add me on RYM

what albums is everyone considering?
My top 6 of the year looks sth like...
1. Kali Uchis - Isolation
2. Kacey Musgraves -
3. Tirzah - Devotion
4. Mitski - Be The Cowboy
5. Parquet Courts - Wide Awake
6. The Beths - Future Me Hates Me
Will be tough to choose just one!!!
Soccer Mommy's album is a serious contender too. That album gets better with every listen.

I'd aim for something I figure no one else will nominate, but Some Rap Songs seems like too good of a pick...
Otherwise, Musas Vol. 2.

For me the big question is whether I'll nominate my absolute favorite right away, or wait a few days to see if it gets nominated so that I can maybe get something less popular into the tournament. Which do I value more - a better feeling about my nominee or a better feeling about the field as a whole? _________________ Add me on RYM
