Fun facts from part 1:
>Viet Cong/CHVRCHES poll was the most voted on, with 148 votes. Viet Cong won by a whopping 127 to 21
>Titus Andronicus beat Courtney Barnett by only 2 votes
>Kamasi Washington actually beat Vince Staples?
The albums are simply a consolidation of various publications' AOTY lists, I didn't choose them. Also I know that the bracket is wonky, the list order was randomized which I now realize was a bad idea but oh well.
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Joanna Newsom - Divers
http://strawpoll.me/6275025
Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness
Kamasi Washington - The Epic
http://strawpoll.me/6275035
Deerhunter - Fading Frontier
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell
http://strawpoll.me/6275051
Tame Impala - Currents
Future - DS2
http://strawpoll.me/6275055
Björk - Vulnicura
Jamie xx - In Colour
http://strawpoll.me/6275060
Jenny Hval - Apocalypse, girl
Jlin - Dark Energy
http://strawpoll.me/6275068
Titus Andronicus - the Most Lamentable Tragedy
Viet Cong - Viet Cong
http://strawpoll.me/6275079
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
D'Angelo - Black Messiah

>TPAB beating GoD
please tell me it was at least a close one
>>61054008
:\
if future beats tame impala I'm going to kill myself
>>61054046
makes me kinda sad desu, not that TPAB was bad, GoD was just a much better album
>Viet Cong/CHVRCHES poll was the most voted on, with 148 votes. Viet Cong won by a whopping 127 to 21
lol
>>61053974
link the challonge bracket
>>61054180
I just used the blank template and made it in Photoshop because I'm retarded and never used the site before
>>61053974
I was going to insult you because the album selection was basically p4k but then i read thst it was publications AOTY so tho i think it is shitty at least it is a general compendium
Also
>Uncle Jim Foggy above Joana Newsom
Wtf i votes for divers and i thought it was going to win clearly, meh i guess
>>61054686
Joanna Newsom is better in general, but ILYH was better than Divers
>>61054758
I didnt like i love you honeybear at all, and i gave it a several listens however i started loving Divers and i keep on loving it.
Have one on me and Ys are better tho
please win d'angelo
>Titus Andronicus - The Most Lame
Seems pretty accurate.
Also, if this list represents the best albums of 2015, then 2015 was a much shittier year than I thought.
i do not understand the obsession with viet cong tbqhfamily
did grimes rlly lose to julia holter baka
>>61054872
Julia Holter is clearly superior
>>61054872
not surprising as a result considering how split opinions on ArtAngels was
also HYIMW is better IMO
>>61054872
Cry more Grimesfag. Go jack off to your le quirky girl in your basement you pathetic sack of shit fuck you.
>>61054886
id agree in 2014 but not anymore, julia holter just isnt any good nowadays
>Viet Cong is winning 19-0
>Sufjan is winning 19-1
Someone call the police because I'm witnessing a fucking murder.
>>61054922
is dis wat every julia holter fan is like ugh
>>61054950
It's how it should be.
>future beat holly herndon
absolutely disgusting
>>61054979
muh gucci flip flops
>>61054872
As she should
Jenny Hval vs Jlin was the only one so far that I had to think about for a second
Where's Adele?!?!???!!??!
Txlxlxlhcl
Divers versus I Love You Honeybear will be the closest one in this round, maybe of the whole tournament
>>61054116
Voted future. Go kill yourself.
>>61056379
the next round will most likely pit Viet Cong and TPAB against each other which will be interesting.
>>61054116
fuck me
>>61054926
>JH is not good anymore
And Grimes is?
Grimes didn't win because Art Angels was not good. Get over it. You sound like you're 12.
>>61056519
pretty sure grimes didnt win cuz shes got less votes then jh and not 4 any other reason
art angels is 1 off the best albums off the year and many dont give it a fair chance cuz i feel like they dont take it srsly in the first place but its actually brimming wit wonderful ideas on top off being aurally filling as a pop album wit all the right aesthetics in place
>>61056703
stop typing like a faggot
fuck this shit
So namefags who can't spell love this album? Nice. Go back to Tumblr and Stereogum.
>>61056760
Meant to quote >>61056703
>>61054116
RIP
>>61056752
TPAB is so much better though
>>61056828

>implying In Colour isn't even worse
>>61057008

Vulnicura is just the same gimmicks and it's literally 'ayy heartbroken' part 5: electric bjorkaloo
>>61057102
>part 5: electric bjorkaloo
Goodbye sides
>>61054008
>>61054046
>>61054134
Wtf? that was an unfair comparison 2bh.
too many lyricfags probably voted that album that never listen to GoD
Alright, I'm gonna let the polls go a bit longer, I think at least one of the polls should break 100 before I move on. Clear winners so far are Julia Holter over Kasmasi Washington, Sufjan over Deerhunter, Viet Cong over Titus Andronicus, and Kendrick over D'Angelo. FJM/Joanna, Future/Tame Impala, and Bjork/Jamie xx are still up in the air. The Jenny Hval/Jlin one is kinda irrelevant since /mu/ doesn't seem to care about either and this will basically just allow Bjork or Jamie xx to go onto the next round. I should have seen that coming and moved shit around but oh well, now I know for next time.
Can't wait for Viet Cong vs Kendrick and what will probably be Sufjan vs. FJM. I hope there's some drama.
>>61057363
jenny hval a best
>>61057363
REMINDER TO ALL WHITE MEN
VOTE VIET CONG
SUPPORT VIET CONG
>>61057363
>Future/Tame Impala
I don't understand this. Who the fuck keeps voting for Future?
>>61053974
Wasn't black messiah not released in 2015??
>>61057507
It was released late 2015, after the cutoff date where most publications put up an AOTY list.
>>61057535
2014*
>>61057363
The fact that Joanna is losing to Father John Reddit is ridiculous
>>61057493
People with taste.
>>61057507
Yeah but because it was released so late it's being included on a lot of lists this year instead (since a lot of publications release these lists early in December). "Really Love" was even #8 on p4k's song list.
>>61057567
>people with taste vote for future
kill yourself
>>61057567
>People with taste.
It shouldn't even have gotten past the first round.
>>61057600
>>61057607
>le "trap rap is bad" meme
Nice, I like it!
>>61057629
I like trap rap and future is fucking balls
worse than rae sremmurd
>>61057629
You seriously think it's better than Platform. If it was up again Jenny Hval or Jlin, I could see it getting through, but it's not even close to Platform.
I'm gonna make sufjan win this shitty tournament, and there's nothing you could do about this.
i'm a normie with hundreds of friends, enjoy /mu/
p.s. suf is best
>>61053974
that list
I wish there was a way to pick /mu/'s 32 favorites and do a tournament of that, but I'm not sure how I'd figure out which 32 albums to do.
>>61057946
pick the top 32 most played from this year on the last.fm group
NEON INDIAN
SOPHIE
??????????
>>61053974
Are those seriously our choices? This board is fucking awful.
>>61058090
read the post you stupid cunt
>>61053974
I think it's time for art 3
Kurt Vile losing the first round, come on, this album wasn't perfect but better than Father John Memey
>>61058188
lol no
>>61058200
father john misty is the most bland band I ever listend to. What is so good about them?
>>61058267
Music sounds good and the lyricism is great.
Last call. I'll make a round 3 thread with all the links and such in about 10 minutes.
>>61056898
lol quality post (drop trip)
come on titus bros pick up the slack
>>61057493
i dont get it either
