Who's gonna want to eliminate Lodger in the first round, and then have to pick one of those turds from the late 80s?
That's the idea. We tried to have albums of vaguely the same level of quality and more or less similar style in every round if possible. That makes for a much more interesting battle. Of course the late eighties stuff for example will be voted off immediately, once we pit the individual battle's winners against each other, but so what? There will still be enough good albums from his good periods left to make it interesting.
