Candle purchases are the new bribe

 

[Krilons Resa]

Gonna start listening shortly.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Any way to make a late substitution?

Any way to make a late substitution?

For this bracket or the other side?

Both are possible tbh.

 

[Krilons Resa]

For this bracket or the other side?

Both are possible tbh.

I'm thinking of replacing a pick with another pick that is probably a lot more accessible and more in line with the forum's preferences, loosely speaking.

This one...maybe next one too but I dunno yet.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Go for it bruv.

Theres no rules to this tournament, aside from hell raising.

 

[Ellestin]

I'm thinking of replacing a prick with another prick

we established that RC needs fresh blood but are you certain that's the way to go?

 

[NAD]

We need more weird shit, not less.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Ken, im going to make a very compelling argument to expand this to 128 if youre in fear that these offerings wont see the light of day.

Last night I spent a good portion of my work shift (I legit do fuck all, thanks RC for making my night go by) compiling potential nominees for an expansion. We could take a few weeks off inbetween brackets to rest from this exercise. Even if Erik is right and theres not 128 albums worth a shit, watching the likes of he and Ellestin rip into these acts is worth the price of admission.

Anyhow, I got atleast 40 albums (with the help of some of yous jews and other semi reliable resources to pitch in a nominees part deux thread)

 

[Krilons Resa]

Okay, make the argument. I'm down. I definitely have more to bring to the table but I think 128 is a bit much.

There's a definite 3 that I'd like to nominate but I can easily come up with more.

 

[J.]

We need more weird shit, not less.

I like this. How bout instead of 64 more good albums, we reco stuff that would be challenging and atypical of the stuff we would usually listen to? We each listen to all of them, slam and shit on em, and vote?

 

[Reign in Acai]

Some bulletin points, cant be arsed to ramble.

Everyone here can pitch atleast half a dozen more. There's plenty of ammo left in the armory. Why keep it to 64 and go back to 2020 RC where we just smack are gums and whistle while rocking on a porch? What else do we have to talk about? Forced music listening is a great exercise, its why we all joined this forum to begin with.

A sample of my next 5 off the top of my head.
Nocternity-Harps of the Ancient Temples
Wampyrinacht, We Will Be Watching

These albums definitely belong competing in this tourney. So these pobrecitos get cast to the pyre out of sure laziness of the forum to go balls deep in this exercise? I get fear of burn out. We all want to listen to our own shit as well, only so many hours in the day, yadda yadda. I propose we have breaks inbetween brackets to let everything fester and decompress from the tourney. Break could be up to month. Plenty of time to relax.

In addition multiple members didnt pitch nominations. We can ensure Bloopy, Cig, Neurotica, et al get their faves in (if they want to participate in full).

Sounds like a mini tourney unto itself. Ken will win, I got nothing but metal and OMC "How Bizarre" to offer.

 

[Krilons Resa]

LOL^

If we do this, I'm def putting these 3 forth:

YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend
Entropia - Ufonaut
Cult of Luna w/ Julie Christmas - Mariner

But there a more in the chest.

[NAD]

Okay not that I've ever understood the whole "vinyl playthrough YooToob" thing, but the Arch / Matheos album skips. Several times. And Metal Blade left it up anyway.

So authentic and warm!

 

[Krilons Resa]

WTF?

 

[NAD]

39:00 to 39:30 it skips a few times. I mean I'm sure those dudes can play 23/16 all day long but when it happened the second time I said lol.
