So, I'm going to start this one in the coming days, leading up to the release of the EP 'Restoration', so that one can be included as well. I'm going to disregard the Demo EP the released before Aquarius, because I doubt enough people will be familiar with them.
So, these following albums are going to be included in 4 separate 'Album rounds':

2. Aquarium

Of each album, the top 3 goes to the finals, while the song placed fourth goes to consolation. From Restoration, the top 1 track goes to the finals and the song placed second will enter consolation. The consolation round will thus comprise 4 different songs, from 4 different albums, of which the top 2 goes to the Finals. This gives a Finals round with a total of 12 songs.
Having run this same survivor in the past 2 years, I'm curious to see if there's any differences between this year's results and the two prior years. If anyone is interested, I can post the results of the past two survivors here as well, so everyone can compare (I still have all the results of the album survivors, as well as the results of the Consolation and Final rounds).
I'm doing rounds that last 2 days, except for tie-breaker rounds and the rounds to make up the top 3 of the albums. They will only last 1 day. I'm ready to start this one any time, but since Restoration is only out due on October 27th, it's probably wise to wait a little longer. Who's in!?
