Re: Best Moderately Acclaimed Album 2: Round 3.4

Division 1: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country (very close!)
Division 2: The Velvet Underground - VU
Division 3: Jimi Hendrix - Cry Of Love
Division 4: Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On
The last one kills me, because it's so close and Mekons was my pick, plus I have it going another round in the pool. But I need to be honest here, and my belief is that BTS is the better album. Please don't let this be the deciding vote!

Thanks!

Predict it:

Joshua 106
Albums left: Summerteeth (Winner), Countdown to Ecstasy, Seventeen Seconds, Emperor Tomato Ketchup (QF)
Victory analysis: Not only has a significant point lead, but also picked a lot of albums other people picked. The only danger for him is if The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Initials B.B., or Liquid Swords make the final.

Jackson 97
Albums left: Summerteeth (Final), Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (QF)
Victory analysis: Can't win, because if he gets his maximum possible points, Joshua also gets most of those points.


BillAdama 92
Albums left: Summerteeth (Winner), I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (SF), Liquid Swords, Seventeen Seconds (QF)
Victory analysis: The only thing I have left that Joshua does not have are I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One and Liquid Sowrds, so I need that to make the semis and also for Joshua not to pick more quarterfinalists. Also, I need Summerteeth to make it farther than anyone else's correct pick.


Brad 91
Albums left: Initials B.B. (Winner), Summerteeth (Final), Floating Into The Night (SF)
Victory analysis: All hopes lie with Serge.

Henrik 90
Albums left: Seventeen Seconds (Final), Emperor Tomato Ketchup (SF), Floating Into The Night (QF)
Victory analysis: If Seventeen Seconds makes the final, it means Summerteeth lost in the quarterfinal, destroying everyone else's bracket. So, if that quarterfinal match goes his way and nobody picks the winner, he wins.

Midaso 90
Albums left: Summerteeth (Winner), Seventeen Seconds (QF)
Victory analysis: Can not win.

Nassim 86
Albums left: Summerteeth (Winner), The Good The Bad and The Uglu (Final), I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One, Seventeen Seconds (QF)

Stephan 86
Albums left: Liquid Swords (Winner), Summerteeth (Final)
Victory analysis: All hopes like with Genius.

Henry 86
Albums left: Summerteeth (Winner)
Victory analysis: Can not win.

Raul 68
Albums left: Summerteeth (QF)
Victory analysis: Can not win.
