Man, if it was SEBTP instead of WAW, we'd all die.

Too bad I missed this, but then again all the albums I would suggest would be voted off immediately anyway.

Yea thats the one thing I was concerned about when I did it. I wanted it to be like world cup play, but at the same time thats a lot of freaking polls.... Maybe a subcategory for the time being possibly? Or will I be banned for spamming the polls section? haha

Nah, you went standard eventually; at one point, you gave hints of genre-debates, of special-features or affinities connections to works. "Olympics" just go a little inexpressive here. And I do hope the admins won't get irritated by so many brackets. Bit chaotic, sorry (again).

Suggestions are more than welcome. I set it up to be like world cup play, I thought it would be the simplest and easiest to understand for everyone here. But if you guys want to see something else, we can certainly do something different for the 2nd edition.(or i could just delete all these polls i just made... ) If this goes well I'm planning on making some changes myself For one, Albums on this one wont be allowed on the next, as a way of spicing things up so to speak.

Muse - Absoloution.
I'm assuming we can include prog related bands...

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.
