Also odd that Phoebe Bridgers is considered a new artist. If you take in mind her side projects with Boygenius and Better Oblivion Community Center this is her fourth album! I had the same reaction. Reminds me of Nirvana getting nominated after Nevermind . I'm also disappointed but not surprised by...

Toy Love - 7/10 I can always trust on Brad to have solid power pop/jangle pop recommendations, and this EP fit that bill. "Squeeze" in particular really stood out to me as a strong track. Also, this might be the shortest album/EP I've ever listened to (the next shortest I can remember is Group Sex .

Our forum did little better. Although we at least acknowledged the Japanese band with an appearance of their Long Season on our recent Album poll, for us 98.12.28 is also the highest unranked album from RYM. Sometimes I feel there is a reasonable overlap between RYM and AM, but in the end we all to...

KRS One - 6/10 I'm not really a fan of Boogie Down Productions, and I guess I'm not much of a fan of KRS-One's solo work either. By the time this album was released, we already had Biggie, A Tribe Called Quest, and 2Pac. And I don't think this album is on the same level as the best works by any of ...

There's a format you could follow, because there was actually a songs version of this idea many years ago.

And from my point of view, I find the three lists extremely similar (with RYM). When you see the percentage of albums in common in all three, and even more so if you look at a TOP500, it's very very very very American-Anglo centered! You don't realise how it's always the same albums or artists that...

Is there any information on where RYM users live? Because the highest rated album for user in both the UK and the United States is To Pimp a Butterfly , which is at 11 on the overall chart. Unless I did something wrong when I made those charts, it seems strange that two places where I imagine a bulk...

Another great year in the books for this game! Thanks for putting this together Brad!

Laid - 7/10 I tend to enjoy jangle pop and indie pop a lot, so I was definitely looking forward to this album. And it's got plenty of songs that I enjoyed: "Sometimes," "One of Three," and "Say Something" were probably my three favorites. Cold House - 7/10 There's definitely a Kid A influence here,...

622) Benny Goodman - The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert I listened to this recently because of that elimination game and I thought it was fantastic. I didn't include it in my list, because I only wanted to include albums I heard more than once. I wonder if many people here are familiar with...

Wow, two wins by the narrowest of margins! I'm sad to see Cold Fact eliminated, but it had a great run.

Great rollout, great results. Thanks for all the work you put into this Holden!

Blood on the Tracks placement this time isn't really shocking, it's the 2017 placement that was. It ranked 24 and 20 in 2014 and 2011 respectively. But it's resurgence is certainly welcomed.

Visions of Bodies Being Burned, the new clipping. album, definitely impressed me. I don't know if "Halloween albums" are a thing, but this might fall into that category!

I won’t however vote in the first match-up as The Archandroid is the archetype of the album I don’t want to see in this game : we all love it, we all know that, what’s the point of nominating it ? This is also what bugs me, even if honesty keeps me voting for The ArchAndroid. I feel this is the sec...

Fun fact: in the Top 1000, they have the same rank for exactly ONE album. Only one out of 1000 has exact aggrement!

My guess for this: OK Computer being #1 on both sides.

Arcade Fire, through The Suburbs, had proven themselves as the most commercially successful indie band in the United States. They hit #1, beating Eminem in the summer of 2010 - who could have predicted that coming? Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend were a signal change in American rock music - a deat...

Random question that won't likely affect anything: does the Misfits' Static Age count? The album was recorded in 1978 but not released until 1996, apparently because they couldn't find a label willing to release it. It seems weird to consider that a 90s album, just like it feel weird to me to consi...

If you believe our bracketmaker predictions, the first matchup could decide who the eventual winner is (I personally think an album in one of the other matches this week will pull off the victory, but I might be biased because it's also my nomination). 1.

My initial reaction is that it's a fine album, but certainly not on the same level as his best albums. Maybe it will grow on me, but I think it's at least 20 minutes too long.
