** RULE CHANGES** **VOTE FOR THREE ALBUMS**

Vote for your favourite album and also your second and third choices. Make your selections clear please as it makes tallying up the scores easier. If you list a whole bunch of albums without making your selections clear I'll take the first three mentioned as 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. No joint positions please. Sorry to be a pedant.

Your album of the month will get three points, 2nd placed album two points and 3rd placed album one point. If you name only one album I'll give that three points. If you name two albums I'll score them with three and two points accordingly.

I've noticed that on occasions there's a Facebook post of this thread. On a few occasions in previous years I think the Facebook votes changed the AOTM compared to votes here alone. If it's acceptable I'll only give Facebook people one vote which will only get one point. It's an attempt to weight the scoring heavier in the favour of DiS users that take the time and effort to vote and discuss the albums released rather than just naming/listing artists that I've seen on the FB post. Hopefully, the end result will much more reflect the opinions of actual DiS users.

I'll post my choices soon after listening and re-listening to some albums. There's a new album by The Thermals out tomorrow and it might even be The Joy Formidable's year after their new release (maybe not). The new Emmy The Great album is a real grower.

Please forgive any shameless bumps of this thread during the week. I'll keep this thread open until Sunday 3rd April and so you'll have over a week to listen to tomorrow's releases before choosing.

Vote now!! (Or later in the week) but make your choices clear please.
