[I Am Not Amused]

WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE TOURNAMENT

To begin, let me say thank you everyone for participating. Before I reveal the tournament matchups, let me explain the nomination process. Transparency in government, yay! So, you all nominated albums. Every single album that was nominated by two or more people made it, which made for 127 albums. The 128th album, per request of the Vice President, the QC board's very own scarred, was Marissa Nadler's Songs III: Bird on the Water. Seeding was determined by the amount of votes recieved and, in the case of ties in nominations, myself and scarred poured over the list and made agreements on which albums should recieve which seeds. Once that was finished, I randomly chose matchups for all the albums according to their seeding. What you see before you is the result!

I'd be very surprised if everyone has heard every single one of the albums up for voting. With that in mind, I decided to make it so we could, if we wanted to. If you click on any album's name, it will take you to either a page on lala.com that allows you to stream the album in its entirety or, if Lala doesn't have the album, then it will link to another site (usually amazon.com) that allows you to stream 30 second samples of each song on the album. So if you want to compare, or if you're just interested to hear something you haven't before, click away! (Full disclosure: Lala requires you to create an account to use its services. It is completley free, but some peole feel uncomfortable about that stuff.) (Also note that there is no streaming version of the Jon Brion version of Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine.)

Please, make sure to vote in every match as it will make counting votes much easier. Skipping a match will either result in whoever is counting up the votes filling in an answer for you, or your votes not being counted.

Brackets are listed in tournament-style order.

Voting starts IMMEDIATELY and ends on Monday, September 7th, at 11:59 PM CENTRAL TIME.

Thanks a bunch!

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT LIVING IN CANADA SUCKS SOMETIMES

(I guess I'll have to go find links that work for me)

Or wait for people to mediafire stuff, either way

[JediBendu]

Before I start voting let me just say that I'm slightly confused because Sleater-Kinney's "One Beat" was nominated twice and I think "The Woods" was only nominated once (by myself, maybe?)

Anyway fucking shit why are Future of the Left and Sleater-Kinney up against each other in the first round? Already a hard decision.

Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica

I really hope Godspeed and Eluvium make it past this round and beyond. Eluvium probably won't get far but c'mon, Godspeed at least has to have a small chance of getting near the end, even if it won't win (I'll throw my vote behind You Forgot it in People or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or possibly Funeral(?) for that although I'm sure I'll be surprised).

Bracket 7
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum
Deerhunter - Microcastle/Weird Era Cont.
Beaulah - Yoko

Sigur Rós - Ágćtis Byrjun

Hoping Sigur Ros makes it through and really hoping Black Moth Super Rainbow beats The Microphones. I never quite got all the hype behind The Glow pt. 2 but people do love it. DG is so much cooler though!

[a pack of wolves]

I really hope Godspeed and Eluvium make it past this round and beyond. Eluvium probably won't get far but c'mon, Godspeed at least has to have a small chance of getting near the end, even if it won't win (I'll throw my vote behind You Forgot it in People or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or possibly Funeral(?) for that although I'm sure I'll be surprised).

I think you can rest easy about GY!BE, at least for this round. Nachtmystium have little to no chance which is a bit of a shame really, they could have been a surprise runner with different opposition. Personally I'd like to see Eluvium go out purely because that would mean the one hip-hop album that got into the first round didn't go out immediately, but I suspect this might be a vain hope.

also no orchid whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. i probably should have nominated gatefold.

You're damn right you should have!

There are a few really interesting matches here. With Botch versus Dead Meadow you've got the hippies versus the punks, a cloud of bong smoke against a clenched fist, Dead Meadow's harkening back to psychedelia and '70s rock throwing down against Botch's thoroughly contemporary technical assault that gives few nods to anything before Kiss It Goodbye (except for at the end). We Are The Romans did very well in nominations but it was the only Botch album eligible, votes for Dead Meadow were split between several releases. Beulah versus The Strokes could be a good draw for Beulah since The Strokes might be a band with a lot of fans but they're also a band with a lot of haters, and Beulah could do well from people with minimal to no knowledge of them voting against The Strokes (I know I did, they sounded alright from a cursory listen and that was good enough). I'm also interested in how Lightning Bolt and Boris will do, I can imagine there are a lot of people like me who didn't place them in their nominations but like those records a hell of a lot more than most other albums in the running.

[TheFuriousWombat]

I don't think Lightning Bolt stands a chance of getting past even this round, to be honest. Not only is Transatlantacism DcfC's best album with room to spare, it's also just a really good album without any context. Lightning Bolt is definitely cool, I'm a fan, but that's not at all an album that a lot of people would be into. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see DcfC win that one by a fairly large margin.
As for Sigur Ros vs. Boris, Boris will probably win. I personally think the SR album is much, much better but a) a lot of people on this board like Boris and b) a lot of people hate on SR on principal (a la In the Aeroplane Over the Sea). Not just here, mind you, but in general. As for Boris v. Mastodon, I think Boris will win that one too. I don't really anticipate Boris going much past round two unless it's matched up against something particularly not-good that managed to slip through the cracks of round one but I find that unlikely but I'm expecting both albums to make it past this round.

[a pack of wolves]

I think you're probably right about neither making it past the second round, although I'm still willing to pin some hopes on LB doing a little giant killing.

You said if I don't vote someone else will fill it in. Well if I've never heard the damn albums that'll be a skewed list. If someone else fills it in, at least it'll be SOMEONE'S opinion.

This list is insane. No group of people or forum I've even been on or around would make this list apart from this one. I've never even heard OF most of these, let alone heard them.

[E. Spaceman]

Oh no!

[a pack of wolves]

Please, make sure to vote in every match as it will make counting votes much easier. Skipping a match will either result in whoever is counting up the votes filling in an answer for you, or your votes not being counted.

I just noticed this. It's a really bad idea for the person counting up the votes to decide themselves what the vote should be if someone's skipped a match, it'll only end in trouble. If it's a massive amount of extra hassle then maybe discount someone's votes (although I'm a bit puzzled as to why it makes things so much more complicated), but if you take the votes yourselves you'll just completely skew the results.

Yeah, and voting one way or the other when I've heard neither album just skews it even more. It'd end up being 'oh, well I've heard of Fugazi, and that one album of theirs that I have is quite good, so I'll vote for their one.' Or worse yet, 'Well, "The Weakerthans" is kind of a cool band name, I'll vote for them instead of the other guys.'

[a pack of wolves]

Yeah, that way we could end up with two albums in the final hardly anyone gives a shit about but both had good covers.

[evilbobthebob]

That would be fine, you then change the name of the competition to 'Album cover of the decade'. I think I will abstain from the rest of the competition because like DynamiteKid I haven't heard of many of these albums let alone listened to them
