This is the first part (the group stage) in Obner's efforts to pick the best album released in the 2000s. In the group stage, there will be 64 groups of 5 albums. The top vote-getter in each group will advance to the 64-album tournament.

Please vote for the album that you feel deserves to be in the tournament. The deadline for this group is Monday, August 3 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

This should be group #44.


Edit:
Unicorns, although on 2nd thought I probably should have went with M83.

Your attempts at humor are both noble and doomed. They make me feel pangs of sympathy that momentarily turn my world to grey while I weep for the futility of our collective existence.




Also, shut up.

Come on Rads be honest with yourself, your world is always grey and it makes you happy.

Machine, I know you're curled up with the acetates of the first 2 Black Oak records right now but if you hear any electronic album from this decade, I think that M83 record is the one you should hear.

You may still hate it and I will take the punishment but it's just a beast IMO.

Walls of treated guitars and keyboards, lush vocals, and a headphone masterpiece if I've ever heard one.

Mood music for sure though.

Oh yeah. Pretty sure I got a couple of their records from you but I really like that '07 album they put out. "All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone"? I think that was the title.

Wouldn't mind seeing them live.

This mines a similar vein, less about delay and guitar and more about electronics, but man it's all about atmospherics.
