Thanks for reading and voting! Also, if you’d like some commentary on the matches (which I generally don’t do for a number of reasons, primarily that I don’t have the energy), there’s two places to go for that. Best Album Bracketeers @nanette.bsky.social and @putnam39.bsky.social hash out the matches over at the best thing (a blog) and Best Album Bracketeer @kevinalexander.bsky.social writes up the albums at On Repeat Records.
