A total of 197 albums received at least 1 mention, an increase of 5 from the last poll and another new record.
Highest amount of ballot appearances was 6/12. This was achieved by our Top 2 albums.
Our winner took the lead on the 4th ballot and never looked back. In fact, it was a pretty emphatic victory.
The minimum of amount of points needed to make the Top 50 was 23, that doesn't mean everyone's Top 3 made it though. Our #50 was on multiple ballots so I was able to break that tie. However, everyone's Top 2 did make it.

Usual format for tiebreakers: 1. # of ballot appearances 2. Highest ballot ranking 3. Average ballot ranking We still ended up with a few ugly ties, our ugliest yet.
EDIT: First post is gonna be a long one because of ties.

Totally forgot to vote for Madvillainy. Great album, definitely among the best hip-hop albums of the century. It's also nice to see some Opeth on here, even though they were much better during the 90s.

I'm sticking her in the next decade too, but probably as my #3 or #4, as Heartleap has staggering highs (the three track punch of Mother, Jellyfish, Shell) but also a handful of snoozers.

Every fan of progressive rock/metal should listen to Mabool. Among the best prog albums of all time.

If Elvis Costello hadn't made a bunch of classics When I Was Cruel would be his classic I'm saying In Rainbows wins this thing - which is good because I'm going into a meeting and when I get out I'll hopefully be surprised and have some fish and chips guv'nor - bunch of Anglophiles Also - 2 Westerberg in the top 25 ftw!
