Album of the Month Tournament - Nov/Dec 2021

[dentalplan]

Delayed and unconventional, here is the last Album of the Month Tournament for the last two months of the calendar year.

Here is a reminder of the rules:

• Contest window: Any album released or due to be released in November or December 2021.
• Entry window: from December 20 2021, 18:00 BST to December 24 2021, 00:00 ET. THAT IS THE END OF THURSDAY
• The system: Choose no more and no less than FOUR albums released during the month in question, listed in order of preference.  The best receives four points, then three points, third best two points and the fourth best one point. See example below:

1. Album A (4 POINTS)
2. Album B (3 POINTS)
3. Album C (2 POINTS)
4. Album D (1 POINT)

• If you post four albums without specifying an order, it will be assumed that it is from best to worst.
• Put less than four if you want. I'd rather you didn't but I don't care.

I know the stupid sexy AOTY submissions are running but please participate. It goes towards the end of year tournament final which will run straight after this featuring the top three albums off of this window and 30 others.
