Yeah, you would just grab whatever the current album was, listen, then come in and tell everyone what you thought about it.

I'm afraid the album isn't currently running though, due to a decline in participation over the last few months. It may resurface in a bit if I see that there's enough demand to warrant the effort that goes in to maintaining it.

Alright, so the club currently is at sort of a halt? I'd be glad to help out with the thread.

Yes, it's on pause at the moment. Maintaining it sort of requires a moderator, because posts need to be edited and polls regularly changed. The biggest barrier for the club was just a lack of interest.

I see. Well, if it ever starts up again, know that I'm in! We gotta revive this!

Alas no one cared.

Make 'em care! Get a list together, see who's interested. I'll throw Bowie's new one in for a start, and maybe Rod's too. How about Blue Sky Riders? New Megadeth? Just make a list and see who bites. I'll try run it with you if you like, but knowing my (ahem) pedestrian tastes I doubt anyone will want to hear my albums.

They all seem to love that Daft Punk at the moment, why not try that as a "feeler" and see who takes the bait?

I think the General Album Club is too broad for widespread appeal here, but there might be another sort of club cropping up this summer, if I can think of a really good title for it.

I have to say I'm a little surprised that Iced Earth is in the lead, before the last Metal Wars battle I don't think I ever saw them mentioned on here, now we could all be discussing a 17-year old album based on a comic that hasn't been relevant in 11-years.

I'd be happy with anything but the Iced Earth album...

Go Sinatra...
