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, July 27 at 1:00PM Eastern Time.

probably Belle and Sebastian's worst album but the competition is weak

I think silence would win if an option in some of these groupings.

Probably my 3rd-favorite B&S record.
But, as Rod pointed out...

Some days that's my favorite B&S rekkid and at the very least has my favorite song of theirs, "Song For Sunshine".

I was disappointed with that Air album. I liked Pocket Symphony much more. I tried a couple times with Dizzee Garscal but it's just not my bag.

Haven't heard the others.

I don't recall seeing a lot of these nominated.

There's a bunch of jokes built right in here. I actually like that B&S more than some of their other records.

Dizzee by default. Weakest "bracket" so far...

I really like that Air album, so it gets my nod.

none of those other albums stand out to me at all.

Remember, we're not comparing the B&S album to previous B&S albums but rather albums released this decade.

Broadcast. I've actually been listening to them (as well as Stereolab and Lali Puna) quite a bit lately, and remember how much I used to love her voice.
