On the regular schedule. Not any faster.

I think we should prolong this one, just for him.

I wonder, if I removed the question list, would the clubs generate more, or less discussion?

A "spoon" is merely a bullet point left with the intent of stirring the thoughts and opinions of people who need aid to get motivated on a discussion topic, whether it's because they don't know where to start or clearly express what they want to say.

I'm not criticizing those who've used the form, because I'm grateful to everyone who has contributed and I've been pleased to read them all, but I'm wondering if it is taking away from the "discussion" aspect of the club. Instead of talking with one another about the album, we leave the form behind and move on.

I'm wondering if the form is creating a crutch for our opinions to rest on, or would we just be limping along without it?

For me, this album provides a very solitary listening experience. Melancholy is a feeling I'm comfortable with, and actually quite enjoy, so this ticks all the right boxes for me. My favourite albums are those that have a depth to them, and it's the depth of Alone I Admire that allows me to fully immerse myself in the music.

As I said in my write up, it's a piece that evokes a feeling of isolation - a sense of detachment - and I'm one of those people that often needs such an escape. Bills, rent, social anxiety, fears about the future... They all temporarily disappear from my thought process, replaced by these romantic notions of a wintery evening. That's why I personally find it so satisfying - it's a release, it stirs the mind, cleansing it of its impurities and putting things into perspective.

TWO people have submitted AOTYs so far. It's easy to forget the club what with Christmas and all, but unless you want to choose between two albums, you'd better get on the submissions!
