r/electronicmusic's Best Electronic Album Tournament: Round of 32 + RESULTS!!!

Vote for your favorites!

Welcome to the Round of 32!!

Thank you all for voting on the Bottom Half of the Round of 64! We had around the same amount of votes as the Top Half, and the results led to some really great discussions. That last round had some heavy losses, including Untrue, Play, Mezzanine, and MHTRTC but some really great albums still made it. We’re getting closer to the finish!

So, without further ado, here’s how you voted: THE UPDATED BRACKET

Here's the form to vote:

If you have any questions or concerns or there is a fix that needs to be made, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to address them.

Voting will be open for 3 days. I will count the votes and update the bracket then.

Thank you again!!

Stats on the Round of 32

There’s a lot of talk about the ‘recency bias’ on the sub so I thought I’d include this table to show that yes, it exists. When we started, our top 64 included 16 albums from 4 different groups. Here's the breakdown of what's happened to those albums/which ones have survived:

Group A/2010sGroup B/"2000s"Group C/"1990s"Group D/"pre-1990s"
15 out of 16 left9 out of 16 left6 out of 16 left2 out of 16 left

Also of note, one of the albums you voted to save in the Wild Card round is still in the tournament: ODESZA - Summer's Gone
