MEGA-CRITIC COMPETITION SEPTEMBER : THE CLUES TO WIN 2 CD´S OF YOUR CHOICE

Guess (Deadline = 25th) the Highest New Entry into this month´s Mega-Critic-Chart (Publication = 30th) as well as its position (as a tie-breaker) and enter the chance to win 2 CDs of your choice.

Another month with no groundbreaking Entries to expect, as many CDs get mixed or disappointing reviews.

For the moment (21st) the following Acts haven´t even been able to enter the Top 150 yet :

Blonde Redhead
Charlatans
Dungen
Eeels
Brandon Flowers
Interpol
Junip
Klaxons
Magic Kids
Manic Street Preachers
Philip Selway
Weezer

Between # 100 and # 150 we find :

Black Mountain
Edwyn Collins
Ray Lamontagne
Maximum Balloon
Melvins
Of Montreal
Roots Manuva Meets Wrongtom
Zola Jesus

There will be probably two Re-Entries into the Top 50 :

Steve Mason
Villagers

Here are the Clues to the 4 Highest New Entries into the Top 150 at the moment. Only one Act is yet confirmed for the Top 50 :

A

An October Release with Reviews dribbling in :

Good Luck !!!

I have to listen to the album with the fake French clue if it is who I think.

My bet goes on Grinderman at #32 (please, for once, don't "price is right" me)

I was going to say Grinderman, but I'll sidestep to the less crowded guess.

Deerhunter #15.

I don't think choice B is Deerhunter. That's a picture of a specific fictional figure, and I read the clue as referring to that character's first name.

No, but Deerhunter's album is coming out before the end of the month, and it's almost certain to get rave reviews when it does. If it doesn't wind up high on the chart this month it almost certainly will next month.

Halycon's MC rating is 86 after 19 reviews. My risky guess is looking pretty nice right now, if Deerhunter gets enough reviews fast enough.

By the way, Neil Young's new album is now getting mostly great reviews and a few bad ones. What kind of insane year is it if Neil Young can give us another Ragged Glory?
