Which albums did you root for in the second round?
Which albums are you rooting for in the third round?
Which album do you think will win and why?
Which albums should've been included in the tournament?
Does this tournament have the potential to reshape /mu/ and /mu/core?

Next year we should do a bracket without /mu/core, and then the winner of that bracket can participate in a bracket with /mu/core only

Holy shit, people weren't kidding when they said that this tournament revealed /mu/'s collective plebbery.
>>
>>71742388
Looks like the next round will be:

>OKC vs Loveless
>Low vs ITAOTS
>Pet Sounds vs Spiderland
>RiL vs Deathconsciousness
>STGSTV vs Madvillainy
>Banana vs LYSF
>Kid A vs MBDTF
>ITCOTCK vs Fishmans

My prediction is

>Loveless vs ITAOTS
>Spiderland vs RiL
>STGSTV vs Banana
>Kid A vs ITCOTCK

>Loveless vs Spiderland
>Banana vs Kid A

>Spiderland vs Kid A

>Spiderland wins

>>71742620
I agree. Even when I first joined this board I didn't go straight for the /mu/core. I decide to listen to albums based on whether the cover or the title catches my eye. That's the reason why I didn't end up listening to "/mu/core essentials" like Loveless, Soundtracks for the Blind (this week, actually), ITAOTS, Trout Mask Replica and MBDTF until years later. I don't like the concept of /mu/core, but I guess if you're going to join a community you gotta know what's hip and cool and all that jazz before you start posting. But then people just never try to expand their tastes because they're lazy or they think they're "patrician" enough to stick with what they're listening to. Maybe I'm just looking at it from an entirely different mindset, because before I came to /mu/ I was already listening to a lot of lowercase and some noise too, so I guess I wasn't totally blown away by all this "new and exciting experimental music" from the /mu/core charts. I'm not the supreme judge of everything on /mu/, so I guess my opinion is kinda irrelevant. It's just sad to see all these kids going around thinking they're music gods or something because they read Pitchfork and listen to Kid A and The Money Store a few times every week. Well, whatever. I'm just a guy on the Internet. What do I know?

Godspeed are artistically irrelevant. Their revivalist, pretentious beating of the dead horse of prog rock and no wave is really unimportant and not worthy of praise

Yeezus, meanwhile, is Kanye at his best and is essentially a postmodern sui genris

I have never seen a thread discussing Geogaddi on /mu/ while I've seen plenty of Laughing Stock threads. I know that's not complete proof that Geogaddi's a worse album but it shows that it's not as popular on /mu/.

>>71743256
My favorite band is Anco, but a lot of my favorite albums are from artists I don't listen to much of. They inspire me a lot when it comes to making my music. I know I just went off on kind of a rant about /mu/core, but they caught my attention pretty early on and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I find a lot of solace in their lyrics. I don't care too much about being labelled (especially on an anonymous imageboard populated by high-schoolers and NEETs), so say what you will.

As for the second question, I'm not really rooting for anybody. I'm just observing what's going on.

>>71743334
Exactly. Everybody on this board's gone through a "true patrician" or metalhead stage, and there's a lot of albums from those phases that still stick with me (The Downward Spiral, Spiderland, Deathcrush, Summit by Thou) because of the emotional significance more than the musical content itself. So it may be edgy to be emotionally connected to a metal album, but people who judge you for it will never understand how that specific album helped you.

>>71743269
This and the whole "true patrician" and Pitchfork + /mu/core fiasco is exactly why people don't take us seriously.

>>71743373
I think Loveless is alright. It's certainly important to Shoegaze, but if you take that part away it's just "pretty good". It's one of the weaker /mu/core albums, IMO.
>>
>>71743423
It's literally just guitar noises.
Anybody who unironically likes it is just an edgy hipster who smokes weed

Yeah. This board specifically has a really toxic culture that I haven't really seen anywhere else.
>>
>>71743549
its really a shame. Everything has to be labeled on this fuck ass board, though alot of it is just based off the fan bases surrounding the artists, which the artist cannot control...
>>
>>71743556
Adding ungodly amounts of reverb and tremolo on your guitar for 11 songs is a shitty production choice.
If the album is going for that, a boring hipster guitar project, then admit that. The album is a gimmick at best.
>>
>>71743520
it's one of the best experimental albums ever made and perfected the shoegaze sound. It's one album where I truly grasp emotion, just from the sound.
>>
>>71743610
Yep. It's a real shame. It's really upsetting when artists who are really nice or make really nice music have some of the dumbest and most toxix fans.

>>71743163
Sorry bud but it was against Laughing Stock there. I love both albums but I'd say that one's the best out of the two. I'm glad this shithole can at least appreciate it (I suppose /mu/ likes post-rock in general, the problem is that third-wave post-rock is mostly trash).
Also I should say you fucking shitters know jack about electronic music so why should I care anyway? Y'all listen to the holy /mu/ trifecta of SAW, Geogaddi and Untrue, and nothing else. Besides some genres, the fact is that for electronic music singles > albums, besides some genres like IDM here, but there's also plenty of great IDM out there that you memers could only dream of finding, bacause you only listen to what /mu/ spoonfeeds you.

>>
>>71743752
>>71743769
i nominated it, and it got enough votes, but for some reason it wasn't included. i dont think it was too late, maybe they just glossed over it
>>
>>71743886
/pol/ is literally the biggest source of the toxicity, though. Please no agendaposting. You seem like such a cool guy then you bring in the /pol/ Trump stuff.
>>
>>71743969
Ah. That makes sense, then.

He Could have set up the bracket such that /mu/core faced off in the 2nd round.

But in the end this is a /mu/ tournament. This is what we get.
>>
>>71744745
Kid A never clicked, I see myself voting for Not Kid A for the rest of the tournament.

>>71744745
>>71744780

What is so wrong with Kid A winning it? It just shows the quality of it.
>>
>>71743950
Not bad, I think GYBE will beat the banana, COTCK will beat Kid A and Pet Sounds will probably beat Talking Heads though. Calling that finalists will be Pet Sounds and ITAOTS, Pet Sounds winning it all

Shockingly or not most of the duels in this round aren't even handed at all. All albums winning over 60% or more

/mu/core shouldn't go against /mu/core this early imo

But everyone knows that most of the anons here are plebs. It isn't as terrible as other places but yeah, looks like even on /mu/ plebs always win.
>>
>>71742388
Huh, last round there were many incredibly close votes, which kept shifting back and forth even after polls closed. But now the closest poll is STGSTV vs. Future Days at 52% to 48%. The smallest vote gap is 15 votes. My guess is that the current winners will be the same as when polls close tomorrow.

>>71745193
Sleep's Holy Mountain, I suppose I should've predicted it since it went against Loveless
>>
>>71745345
Most likely, but 19 hours is still kind of a long time. Maybe the tides could turn and F#A#Infinity could just start BTFOing ITAOTS in the course of an hour. But from what it looks like, the winners right now look like they're gonna be the winners when the polls close and Chart-guy releases the results.

Yeezus is already getting BTFO by Godspeed. Banana album will win if Yeezus ever makes it out alive.

not him buy imo 98.12 is better than Rock Bottom. they're actually probably my two favorite albums of all time though

Perhaps. Though Even the closest matches of yesterday didn't change much from the beggining of the day to through the night and the morning. Only surprise was maybe seeing Flood losing after havibg a good upper hand, and Bitches Brew also losing

It's not nearly as popular an album on this board. It's not even anywhere on the /mu/ essentials chart.

>>71745600
Also, ITAOTS is THE meme album, you can't deny that. It might be good (and it is), but it's the ultimate meme album and that is a fact.

/mu/core is:
ITAOTS
Loveless
MPP
Kid A
OKC
ITCOTCK
MBDTF

It's only these 7. These charts are stupid.

Source being someone who's been here for 10 years. It was always those 7. Well 6, MBDTF was the last one added because it was half the catalog for 3 months. Ever since then people have attempted to fuck with the /mu/core lineup but oldfags will know it's only ever been those 7.

I don't know what kind of definition you're using for /mu/core but it certainly isn't mine

>>71745782
I was sure that my favorite album (or even one on my top 5) wasn't going to win. It surprised me a lot that one of them actually got the nomination to begin with.

>>71745794
I didn't REALLY expected to win, I was just thinking of it as a possibility. A small one, but one.
And I only posted that because of the other anon implying that ITAOTS isn't a meme.
>>
>>71745818
spiderland and money store are definitely /mu/core

t. oldfag
>>
>>71745847
Those are second tier /mu/core, with like Death Grips and Swans and American Football. The untouchable tier 1 is only those 7 albums. No, I don't like every tier 1 /mu/core album but that's what they are. If you don't know you're new.

I don't mean to come off that way. The 7 /mu/core albums are like the last bastion of any sort of /mu/ culture. I just don't like seeing it changed based on what albums people like or not. That's not what /mu/core is or has ever been about.

Loveless vs. OK Computer
Low vs. ITAOTS (wrong btw)
Pet Sounds vs. Spiderland
Remain in Light vs. Either (I prefer Endtroducing though, but it doesn't really matter)
Future Days vs. Madvillainy
Banana vs. Skinny Fists (disagree with this one too)
Kid A vs. MBDTF
In The Court (also wrong, Mingus is way better) vs. could not care

What I would want from that:
Loveless vs. Low (neither of these will happen)
Pet Sounds (probably won't happen) vs. Remain in Light
Future Days vs. Banana (don't think either of these will happen)
Kid A vs. Court

From those would want
Loveless vs. Pet Sounds
Future Days vs. Kid A

Pet Sounds vs. Future Days

Okay, go ahead and name albums. People always say this in passing but then never have the balls to name albums.

I think that certain albums are considered essentials everywhere because they are a rare intersection of genuinely high quality and accessibility (TVU/N, ITCOTCK, Loveless, Spiderland), and certain albums are just people falling for either force-meme or marketing (Radiohead , ALL negroid memerap, Beatles, Beach Boys, David Bowie).

I would bet on Loveless or Spiderland winning since they are BOTH force-memed AND meet the high-quality/accessibility interface.

You don't think I know that after DD lost?
>>
I love TMS, but rip
>>
>>71742388
Why weren't the picks restricted to one album per artist? It would certainly be more interesting if half of the albums weren't Radiohead's entire discography.
>>
>>71748868
I would've done that if I was involved with the selection process, but I wasn't.
>>
>>71748868
The restriction should just be two albums.

It won't, Radiohead kids are much too powerful. Only the Aeroplane can bring peace.

>>71749890
