Hey folks!

The first round of the mini-tournament to determine the last album entered into the upcoming Best Album of 1989 bracket is now up! Just go here.

In case you’re coming in late, there are 8 albums in contention. I’m asking you to rank up to three albums, from first favorite to third favorite. Those ranked votes will be weighted with points (3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd), and the top three albums based on points will move onto a single-round death match tomorrow.

Here are the albums, with links, in case you missed them:

The Creatures, BOOMERANG  

Gorilla Biscuits, START TODAY 

Keith Jarrett, CHANGELESS 

Morbid Angel, ALTARS OF MADNESS 

Nitzer Ebb, BELIEF 

Tad, GOD’S BALLS 

Caetano Veloso, ESTRANGEIRO

Xymox, TWIST OF SHADOWS 

Thanks for voting! See you on the other side!

Kent
