Please vote for your FAVOURITE album.
The voting system has changed since previous Survivors - see second paragraph below before voting.
It's been a long time since we last ran a Survivor tournament. I think it's about time the game made a return to EYKIW - and now is an ideal time to run an Album Survivor. Yes, we've run this once before. However, some people, myself included, feel that the results from that edition were a bit skewed as HTDAAB was so new and may have had its placing artificially inflated. Well then, let's see. Let's give this thing a whirl just before NLOTH drops and see where the forum stands on U2's eleven previous albums. This edition of Survivor will stick solely with the eleven albums indisputably considered U2 albums. No UABRS, no Passengers, nothing else anybody may want to include on a technicality - just a quickfire series of ten rounds until we get a winner. Each round will last 48 hours.
Since this is such a quickfire edition of the game, I'm going to trial a new voting method. In EVERY round, you vote for your FAVOURITE album (or at least your favourite of what's left). The album with the least amount of votes will be eliminated, i.e. the album the least people rank as their favourite. If it turns out that this method sucks, we can easily run another Album Survivor with the original method. Past Survivors have taken longer to get through a single album than this will take to complete, and we could complete both methods before NLOTH's official release date.
Have fun!
