This is it, we're down to the phase where all albums are playing in every week.
Nobody is left with more than one nomination, except for beefsupreme, who nominated Liquid Swords and L.A.M.F. At this point the only one who could possibly beat beefsupreme in total wins by nominated albums is Bradley E Green, who nominated The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Division 1 final:
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One vs
Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Division 2 final:

Division 3 final:

Now, all tiebreakers will be point-buy tiebreakers, and they will last a day.

Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B. Wilco - Summerteeth
The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly The Heartbreakers - L.A.M.F.
Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On
A resounding BOO to these matchups.
Initials B.B. is awesome, and would get my vote if it were just a little more consistent. GBU might have better music than I Can Hear The Heart, but it's not a solid album, for the simple reason that it wasn't designed to be. L.A.M.F. reminds me of the Ramones, and if they're going to make music like that they need a little more going on with the guitars. But Perfect From Now on is duuullll.
Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Quarterfinals
I haven't heard all these albums and only vote in
division 3.As much as I love the Cure, I don't think 17 seconds is so great. Whereas Summerteeth is awesome.

Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Quarterfinals
I wish you'd voted Jackson, that would have been really fun to have the entire field decided by people deciding which albums to spend their tiebreak points on.
