3 rounds? We had 181 submissions and three rounds? Nick please let someone else do this next year if you're going to be this lazy.

This is the way it has always been done. No matter how it's done people will bitch because albums they like didn't make it to a further round.

A lot of mine did, but to jump from 181 to 10 is way to big of a jump, and doesn't really lend itself to the idea that it's a "competition"

Orcus, seriously, stop trolling the thread.  If you don't like how it was done, too bad.  Stop cluttering up the thread with your complaining.

:lol Wow, you apparently have a warped view of what a competition is.

You know many things don't even have a playoff type thing were top teams or whatever move on, in which case this whole thing could have just been done in a single round.

Seriously, people need to vote, talk about their favorites, and stop hating the game.

Apparently you have no idea what suspense is, nobody's actually interested for the most part because it just ends like that, and it doesn't give people a chance to really think about their choices.

Take a week off.  I just posted a warning about derailing the thread with off topic complaining.  Bye.

Any more takers?

Eh, it's okay, I voted for ADTOE because I think TDH is the most overrated band on these forums, so we cancel each other out.  ;)

Deconstruction was robbed. Although ADTOE would be right after it at number 3.

Yes Decon takes one and two.

I'm personally disappointed that Ghost was so far below Decon, the former is much stronger imo.
