So we're coming up close to the last studio album by the band, but I want to keep two rounds running simultaneously, so to fill the gap, I figured I'd run a discography-wide Album Survivor, pitting the band's 19 albums against each other for everyone to decide which one reigns supreme! There won't be any tie-breakers in this one, so it'll run, at most, 18 rounds, which should carry us through most of the CA Rounds and Consolation Rounds. I may also throw in a Feedback Survivor if there's any interest, but those songs won't have any bearing on the Consolations or Finals rounds.
At the current rate, we will reach the Finals around the beginning of August, which will then take another 2-3 months to run, given that there will be 40 songs/39 rounds (and for that, there WILL be tie-breakers, though I may shorten them to 1-day tie-breakers just to speed things along).
Anyways, that's where we're at. I may also do some other smaller survivors during the Consolations & Finals, like I've done in the past, but if anyone has any suggestions for some side-survivors, I'd be open to hearing them. I've done Multi-Movement Songs before (pitting the 7 movements of 2112 against each other, etc.), the songs in the "Fear" series, the Instrumentals, and the Live albums. There's plenty of possibilities to keep things going for the next few months!
