Glad to see this starting again. One thing on the bracket, it looks like game 28 and game 27 both have the Lady Gaga album listed.
This ended up almost falling on St. Patrick's Day, which I personally find amusing.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
Wow, this game suddenly confronts me how time flies in a new way: I would have sworn that albums like The Lion and the Cobra or Nancy and Lee (among a handful of others) would be ineligible because they appeared in this game 2 or 3 years ago, but apparently it's four years already!
Is Air Supply becoming the new Tom Waits: an entry every year? This is the only comparison between Air Supply and Tom Waits anyone ever made.

8 albums from my top 500 that I didn't nominate myself !
Kuddo to kingoftonga for also nominating Knock Knock ! Fantastic album !

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
Of the 128 albums listed, Sinead's The Lion and The Cobra is the highest ranked, at #1035.
There are 56 completely unranked albums, and 21 bubblers.

I did a check, which of these are on Spotify. Most of them are and the few that aren't are on YouTube. You can find those here:

To be clear, is Flavien Berger’s Contre actually named Contre-Temps? That’s only one I can find.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
I also already did the Predict It on bracketmaker. A tough year to predict the winner, that's for sure, although there are still some albums I suspect will be clear favorites.
I also noticed that not a single artist has two entries this year. I think that is a first.

Unrelated to that, a question:
American Football has three self-titled albums. The nominated one is the first one from 1999, right?

I assume it is since that's the only album of theirs he has rated on RYM.

This one does work and I think it is the correct one, concerning it is the right piece, composer, conductor and orchestra. Strange that I couldn't find it as I sat long on that one, trying several ways and alternate spellings to find it.Hector Berlioz - Symphonie fantastique [New York Philharmonic / Leonard Bernstein]:

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
Well I predicted it, and then looked at the leaderboard. If the wisdom of crowds is reliable then my predictions are hopeless as I forecast El Camino and Diamond Dogs to fall in the first round! Very interesting selection of albums.
Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
I've heard about 44 of them this time, totally forget which ones I nominated except for one obvious one that nobody but me would nominate.

Re: Moderately Acclaimed Albums 12 (2021) - The Draw!
I think El Camino has good shot, but I don't really believe that Diamond Dogs will make it all that far. Bowie has an album in this game every year I think, but usually he falls off rather quickly, despite him being a forum favorite artist. I think this is because his reputation is based on the many great albums not eligible here. Diamond Dogs isn't exactly his biggest work, despite some great songs on there. Similarly I saw a lot of high placements on the leaderboard for Bloodworks by The Cure. Do people really love that album so much? We'll see.
