Nicolas Jaar had the album of the year and didn't even make it into the tournament.
and that's why this whole thing is just a circle jerk of uselessness. You are all bad for allowing this to continue, and you should feel bad.
I mean, you're going to have albums that lose out this round, that would probably get more votes than some album that makes the final 4. You will not be left with an accurate Top 1-10 when all is said and done. If you wanted to do it right, use the format being used in the inforoo greatest albums of all time thread.
Interesting observation, it seems that inforoo prefers hip hop/ r&b to anything else. It could be more obvious by the way some of these matchups are decided. Rock music is really need of a come back.
that seems like a faulty premise leading to a faulty conclusion, imo

But I guess it its fun right?
I don't see you doing anything about it. You have the right to make up your own thread and do things the way you want in it.

I guess I should have added "no offense to those of you who put the time and effort to put together something of entertainment for the masses. Hats off all the way." My post should be read in the tone of an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn, and should not be taken seriously.

i've lost faith in a lot of people picking chance over bowie.
No kidding. Chance is fun and all but he can get at me once he makes an incredible work of art about coming to terms with his own mortality while actually fucking dying. .
I'll take a swing at this since I voted for Chance. I liked Bowies album, but I also felt like his death actually weighed on the album at times. You're listening to a man, that's dying, talking about dying, and grappling with the heavy burden of mortality. That's some draining shit. Yeah, it's good, but half the time I would listen to it, it felt like work. I appreciate it for what it is, but the replay value didn't hold for me over time.
In a complete 180, I don't really remember the last time I had as much fun listening to an album as Coloring Book. It may be my proximity to the city, but for a kid from Chicago to make a project like this, with everything that's happening in our world/that city today, I feel like that means something. It doesn't necessarily mean something in the way that Black Star does, but I think it's just because you're looking at the grimness of death, and the vibrancy of life. It's just polar opposite, in a sense. Yeah, technically it's not much to look at, and there may even be a track or two I don't like as much, but damn does it make me happy.
TL;DR I like rainbows, butterflies, and Chano from the 79th
Tidbit: Bowie may or may not have known he had cancer while recording Blackstar, but he didn't know it was terminal until after the sessions had concluded and he was filming the video for Lazarus.

Nothing wrong with liking rainbows and butterflies. But Blackstar kept me in rapt attention all the way through and Coloring Book had some real filler in it. The intro to How Great feels like it's about 45 minutes long.
