Still, it's your decision of course and I'll respect that. I'll remove you from the list now, but if you ever feel you want to join back up there'll be a place held for you.

That is a total lie. I liked the William Shatner pick, and I suspect others did too.
I also like Nadia Oh! which people either hated or thought Goofle11 was trolling. Outside of Goofle11 as far as I remember I was the lone member who liked (loved) it and I didn't think it was a troll and took it as a serious pick because it wasn't a serious album.
I don't know why MicShazam lost his McShizzle over any critism that came his way. I found him one of the most critical in the Album Club and for while I respect for his brutal honesty, well at least when his criticism was directed at someone else. I think now I lost respect because his honesty is gone and is replaced by being contankerous. Or perhaps he didn't change, maybe it was my perception of him changed because I never quite figured him out at first. And I can't figure why while he doesn't like a lot of things on one hand and then be bothered by Frown or Hawk -- cause he isn't too unlike either of them.
Both rubbersoul and I mentioned that we liked Laura Nyro and I figured that should mean something like "cheers, we both like the same thing."
well at least that's how I felt about rubber soul liking stuff I liked. Also me and Psy-Tech-Ant (one of them, they are like one giant almagated member to me) liked Alison Krauss and the slide dobro part, that should count for something. So at the end of the day there was both positive and negative things said about the album, so (unless I am missing something underhanded and devious going on in that thread) there was no reason to throw the rattle out of the pram and relinquish one's Album Club membership.
@MicShazam, If you fall off your bike, you get back up and start riding again. Look what I had to go through to join the Album Club: last year my computer crashed, I couldn't listen to albums. I had to wait for a new computer before joining. I was black listed even before I ever got green listed. Even now I'm the low man on the totem pole, the last in line. If falling off a bike was an Olympic sport I would be the Michael Phelps of falling off of bikes. Don't treat the Album Club like it's the Tour de France where you always have to win. Don't try to be the Lance Armstrong of the Album Club.
