The way this game works is that you will be given four sets of four albums each. You have to rank each set from best to worst. Your #1 will be given 4 points, #2 3 points and so on. The winner of each bracket will advance into the next round. Ties will be broken by number of first place votes.
Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 16:00 UTC.

"The first word in this song is discorporate. It means to leave your body."
Re: Bracketology 4 Albums Edition: Round 1, Week 14
For once I don't have anything to listen to to be able to rank this week's albums. 9 albums that made my top 400 during out last all time poll, that's the highest amount so far.
3) Jimi Hendrix | Are You Experienced? (#41 of all time)
4) The Replacements | Let It Be (#73)
11) De La Soul | 3 Feet High and Rising (B-)
16) Pink Floyd | The Wall (D-)
2) Wu-Tang Clan | Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (#34)
5) Smashing Pumpkins | Siamese Dream (top 200, was 277 last time I made a full album list)
9) Peter Gabriel | So (#380)
12) R.E.M. | Automatic for the People (C)
6) Van Morrison | Astral Weeks (#213)
13) Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young) | Déjà Vu (C)
14) Dr. Dre | The Chronic (C-)
15) The Velvet Underground | White Light/White Heat (D-)
I'm a big fan of VU&Nico and The Velvet Underground, but the album in between doesn't work for me at all.
1) DJ Shadow | Endtroducing..... (#13)
6) The Strokes | Is This It (#247)
7) Arcade Fire | The Suburbs (#249)
10) Leonard Cohen | Songs of Leonard Cohen (B-)

Re: Bracketology 4 Albums Edition: Round 1, Week 14
Good week on the whole. It's not that I hate hip-hop, despite putting those albums bottom in each group, I just preferred the other albums.
194 | The Replacements | Let It Be
14 | Jimi Hendrix | Are You Experienced?
145 | Pink Floyd | The Wall
75 | De La Soul | 3 Feet High and Rising
Let It Be easy winner, top 20 album for me.
137 | Smashing Pumpkins | Siamese Dream
43 | R.E.M. | Automatic for the People
228 | Peter Gabriel | So
118 | Wu-Tang Clan | Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Probably the weakest group so another easy win.
15 | Van Morrison | Astral Weeks
214 | The Velvet Underground | White Light/White Heat
171 | Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young) | Déjà Vu
128 | Dr. Dre | The Chronic
Top 3 very good, The Chronic good.
40 | The Strokes | Is This It
236 | Arcade Fire | The Suburbs
149 | Leonard Cohen | Songs of Leonard Cohen
77 | DJ Shadow | Endtroducing.....
Extremely close between the top 3, all of which I absolutely love. DJ Shadow just unfortunate.

A very strong week for me. #1-8 would probably be in my all-time top 100. (I never dreamt I'd be putting the masterpiece "Endtroducing..." last in anything.) I also really like #9-15. As for "Siamese Dream" ... at least it does have "Disarm," my favorite by the Pumpkins.

Are you Experienced?

3 Feet High and Rising
Two great, one good, one just okay.
Siamese Dream
Automatic for the People
So
Enter the Wu-Tang
Still not fully moved by Wu-Tang yet.
Astral Weeks
White Light/White Heat
Deja Vu
The Chronic
Top two were in my last Top 500. Astral Weeks has some of the most emotional, passionate songs Van ever wrote.

Re: Bracketology 4 Albums Edition: Round 1, Week 14
First two are fantastic, the third is pretty good, while the Wall is just another album. :/

Wu-Tang Clan is pretty good, Smashing Pumpkins is just fine, the R.E.M album is not their best, and the same goes for Peter Gabriel.

Whyyy?
Why do Astral Weeks and White Light/White Heat have to be in the same group. Both are absolutely epic and would probably make my top 30. The Chronic is just unlucky to be in the same group, and Deja Vu doesn't stand the even slightest chance.

The Leonard Cohen album is top tier and absolutely fantastic, DJ Shadow and Arcade Fire are very good as well, and the Strokes are not bad, but no match for these three.
