It is. It's a very strange album that is nearly impossible to make sense of, yet you cannot stop listening to it.

First we'll see how many albums are nominated, then we'll fix the number of albums competing simply by rounding up or down to a suitable number (ie...32, 64, 128, 256...) and then we're off.

That's fine, there's no limit to how many albums you can submit. If necessary we will remove some entries before we begin.

Why not type the list out for us, or copy and paste the url, or when you're posting a reply there's a button called URL - you need to type this: [*url]the website url[*/url] (REMOVE STARS).
