THE CONCEPT:
*Forcing voting to be on smaller groups to prevent early upsets and/or voting results to change in consolations and finals, as well as an easy method to rank the entire album catalog.

RULES:
*Each album will begin with a preliminary round with three groups of 3-4 songs.
-This is still a survivor, so "vote for your least favorite" is still in effect. Songs with the most votes will be eliminated.
-Vote for exactly one song in each group.
-Preliminary rounds will last 2 days each.
-In the event of unbalanced groups (which will be the case for every album in this survivor) an additional 1-day poll will be held for the final necessary round.

*After an album's preliminary round ends, an album ranking round will commence.
-The lowest remaining song from each group will be voted upon.
-Again, the song with the most votes will be eliminated.
-Ranking rounds will last 1 day each.

*There will be no consolation. Finals begin immediately after the last album round concludes.
-The finals will contain the lowest remaining song from each album.
-Voting rules are identical to album ranking rules. 1 day each.

--------------------
GROUP A:
No Stars Over Bethlehem
Heretics & Killers
Divinity Within

GROUP B:
Bury The Hatchet
Nautical
Blindfolds Aside

GROUP C:
She Who Mars The Skin Of Gods
Turn Soonest To The Sea
The Divine Suicide Of K.
A Plateful Of Our Dead
--------------------
For the first two albums I'm just going to group them by each section of the album for simplicity. Which sucks for this album because the second half blows the first half out of the water. That last poll is ridiculously hard, I personally am going to abstain from voting and relisten to this album.

I hope the modified rules are easy to understand, it's not very complex but it's a little different because I hate standard survivor practices.
Easy to test this on a band like PtH with a relatively small catalog, plus there needs to be a PtH survivor anyways.

Decided against including EPs because I'm not familiar with them myself and the few responses I got in the band thread here didn't seem to be in favor of including them either.

Would also be not too difficult to add in the new album to the overall rankings after it comes out.

Perhaps it will make more sense once the first album voting round begins, then. I tend to be horrid with explanations even for simple things.
