Each of the 27 competitors submitted one album and ten songs. The ten songs each compete in one of ten rounds, each with a different type of competition. Meanwhile, the albums will be rated (out of ten) as time goes on. After each round, each competitor will receive points based on their performance in the round. At the end of all ten rounds, the points will be totaled from each round and the rating of the album, and a winner will be declared!
This week's rules:
The third round is going to involve ranking randomly categorized songs. Each week you will get nine songs, and you must rank them. The top nine songs from each of the first three rounds will move onto the final part of round three. Here are your songs:
Aretha Franklin | Border Song
Carly Pearce | Closer to You
David Bowie | Lady Stardust
Ghostland Observatory | Sad Sad City
Mr. Bungle | Retrovertigo
R.E.M. | Sweetness Follows
Steeleye Span | All Things Are Quite Silent
Stevie Wonder | Visions
The Dandy Warhols | Minnesoter
Playlist
Additionally I will be 'featuring' one album a week to make them more digestible. This week's album is:
Stephen Fretwell | Magpie (2004)
Alright, in conclusion:
Rank all nine songs above! You have exactly seven days (March 20th) from the time of this post!
Additionally, rate albums from the list out of ten. You can do this at whatever pace you like, but post your ratings in the most recent thread! And you can always rate previously featured albums as well!
