How the daily album battle works

Every day at midnight UTC the vault draws two well-known studio albums, close in popularity, era and style, and puts them head to head. Everyone sees the same battle. You get one vote, and the result is shown once you've voted. Voting closes at midnight UTC, when the next battle starts and the result goes into the record books for good.

No album battles twice in the same year, and every finished battle keeps its own page, so the arguments can carry on.
