gigpusher Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Putting the thread up early because my end of October is going to be bat shit mental and I will forget otherwise but I will be on holiday for the first few weeks of November and in the middle of nowhere so hopefully plenty of time to tot up the scores. Your chances of witty comments regarding the artists will improve significantly if you pick artists I have actually heard of! Here is a reminder of the rules: Contest window: Any album released or due to be released in October 2021. Entry window: from November 1 2021, 00:00 BST to November 5 2021, 00:00 ET. The system: Choose no more and no less than three albums released during the month in question, listed in order of preference. The best receives three points, second best two points and the third best one point. See example below: 1. Album A (3 POINTS) 2. Album B (2 POINTS) 3. Album C (1 POINT) If you post three albums without specifying an order, it will be assumed that it is from best to worst. If you post fewer than three albums, you'll be ignored and shunned by society (maybe not shunned but at least looked at sternly) No voting transfers from those who don't pick their full 3 albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I know it’s not out for another week but I’m already naming Parquet Courds the winner. Close the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'm most looking forward to Self Esteem's album. The singles so far have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're voting before hearing the new Sheeran one on Friday! Joking aside, Magdalena Bay is easily my album of the month at the moment and also high on my AOTY list (as good as it is I can't see it knocking Blue Weekend off my top spot) Thanks for the recommendation as it would probably have passed me by otherwise 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Only listened to three albums that were released in October so I didn’t need to trim anything off my shortlist. Trivium Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes Every Time I Die Edited October 28, 2021 by rivalschools.price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t stop it selling by the boat load though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benali Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 1. Wiki - Half God 2. Grouper - Shade 3. Parquet Courts - Sympathy For Life Notable mentions for Vanishing Twin, Dean Blunt, Sault and Lewsberg whose album just popped up on Bandcamp and sounds great on first listen. Maybe also Ty Segall but won't hear that in full until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - Sticky 3. Sam Fender - Seventeen going under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastodon would probably have made it but it didn’t get released until yesterday and I’m unable to listen to it. I’m currently in Amsterdam and have left my EarPods at home so Mastodon will be my November listening. (I’m sure I’ll have plenty here to keep me busy without needing the new Mastodon to keep me stimulated, haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 @gigpusher do you remember what three albums won this when calculated? I think it might have been Self Esteem, Biffy Clyro and The War on Drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening post that @found home in 2009managed to find for the other AOTY tournament thread has it as those three, I’m not sure what order though.
