Here are your new picks. You’ll notice the last person to submit their choice always gets left off the new list, so no Jeff this round (Joe made it just under the wire—surprise, surprise). Unfortunately, this means Eric Arnoys has to wait until Jeff makes his decision until he knows exactly who he is deciding between, but he can at least get a start by listening to Deerhunter. What else? Notice that Dwight picked Hercules and now his own album goes up against them. Interesting. Maybe we could do this in under two weeks this time?
Oh, and since we're now into the phase where winners are going against winners, I encourage you all to leave comments rooting for albums you want to see continue on or bashing albums that you think have no right to have made it thus far.
