Why does this board suck so bad when it comes to Binaural? My god!

[liebzz]

It cracks me up when I read the comments and then look at the progression of the vote. I am existing in a total “we just had a record attendance at our rally, bigly, there’s no way we could possibly not be winning” series of moments…I am just going to need some information on the location of the RM board so I can send folks there to tell them to fight like hell for our RM, but also yell out “immunity “ before they do anything suspect.

Lost Dogs-B-sides/other
Past winners

Feel like we could split the albums in like this.

What Stip did was logical, but somehow the albums together like that, clashed a bit. Or put Ten vs one of the post-RA albums to make 1vs1. Maybe Ten vs S/T. The two most stand-alone albums.

I felt (time will tell if I am right) having the songs grouped as 'eras' would lead to more interesting early round matches. The stakes and matchups feel a little more nuanced when it's album and adjacent albums going up against each other.

[stip]

which is still pretty much what you did, just starting from a different place.

It's partially set up this way because we had time to kill before DM actually drops

[Anders]

Yes, absolutely. But with the drummer changes, and production/sound changes, a grouping like Vs/Vitalogy and No Code/Yield, Binaural/Riot Act, gel better together.
