We’ve been waiting as patiently (or not) as you have, and it’s finally here: The second annual Critics Poll is now open for business–and this time we’ve expanded it a little. Today, you get the poll proper: Albums, Tracks, Reissues, Artists, plus essays by myself, Jess, and Maura. And then, a few other treats. We’ve commissioned a number of our favorite music writers to create a year-end mix-CD and annotate it for us–and you–and those will be rolling out, a few per day, throughout the week. We hope you enjoy it.

Congrats, guys.
Echoing! Cool to see, can’t wait for the mix CD essays too.
Love the illustrations. Can’t wait for the mix CD mumbles….

can we get “the good, the bad and the wha???” meta-analysis?
You guys did a bang-up job on the feature. Danm, that’s a lot of number-crunching.
@iantenna: can we get “the good, the bad and the wha???” meta-analysis?
That would be “frawesome”.

This made me totally forget that your poll was born out of the Voice’s Pazz & Jop Poll but you guys had to be all chicken about it for legal reasons.
Nice try!
@brownham: oh ok i didn’t get it the first time
we named last year’s poll Jackin’ Pop, so no, we haven’t been shy about it at all.
and “legal reasons” don’t enter into it. I changed the name because the same joke doesn’t work twice.
